First off, yes, we know, ‘laser’ is spelled with an ‘s’ and not a ‘z’, but our logo looks way cooler with a ‘z’. Also, language is a constantly evolving organism, so who knows, maybe in 50 years it will have a ‘z’ in it.

This site’s function is to serve as a place where we can collect and discuss all the things about the 80s and 90s that we loved. Think of this as the ultimate checklist to build that basement you’ve always wanted. That doesn’t mean though that we will only focus on things from that era. There are tons of things that influenced the 80s (1979’s Alien, 1977’s Star Wars: A new hope, Joy Division’s 1979 album Unknown Pleasures, to name but a few). There are also so many recent movies, books, music, and comics that are to this day inspired by the 80s and 90s. To leave them out would be criminal.

Do you have a favorite movie, album, toy, comic, novel that you want us to discuss? Send us a mail at info@theneonlazerbasement.com and we’ll make a plan.
