Recommended Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| COLOR | Neon pink, electric blue, vibrant purple, deep teal, magenta, cyan | These colors are essential for the retrowave aesthetic, defining the mood and visual energy of the cityscape. |
| LIGHTING TYPE | Neon glow, atmospheric, hard light, rim lighting, streetlights, volumetric | Retrowave relies heavily on specific lighting to create its signature dramatic, high-contrast, and glowing effects. Volumetric lighting adds depth and atmosphere. |
| TIME PERIOD | 1980s retro-future, Future past 1980s, Near future 1980s, Distant retro-future | Specifying the retro-futuristic aspect grounds the image in the correct aesthetic, blending classic 80s elements with futuristic concepts. |

Pro Tips
- 1Experiment with various combinations of neon colors in your prompt to find unique palettes that still feel authentic to the retrowave genre.
- 2Always include 'neon' or 'holographic' in your prompts when describing lights or advertisements to achieve that iconic glow.
- 3Specify 'wet streets' or 'rain' to introduce reflections, which significantly enhance the visual depth and vibrancy of neon lights in cityscapes.
- 4Use 'retro-futuristic architecture' or '80s inspired skyscrapers' to guide Midjourney towards the correct structural design for your city.
- 5Incorporate elements like 'flying cars', 'synthesizer waves', or 'binary sunsets' to reinforce the sci-fi and nostalgic aspects of retrowave.
