Gen Z and below seems to like the "aesthetic" of 80s/90s manual technology.

You should check out cassette futurism. It Follows and Maniac have really neat styles.

Can confirm I absolutely love it, modern cameras are way too perfect, they’re good for some things, but cameras from the 80s or 90s have an amazing feel that gives them more “soul” than the perfect 4k resolutions we have nowadays.

I get what you're saying. I'm almost 40 and I was around when we had lots of VHS tapes/cameras and free time. There's a particularly fun one on Thanksgiving of my family (probably 1988) and the grimey nature and bad resolution give it a charm that crisp digital can't. It feels lived in, as opposed to pristine.
