"Till the Neon Fades" — a nostalgic 80s power ballad set in March 1986, from Midnight Wax Club's ongoing series traveling month by month through 1960-1999.
This episode's visuals are built entirely from real, verifiable events of March 1986 — Halley's Comet flybys, the Microsoft IPO, the fall of oil prices, the NCAA championships, Billboard chart-toppers, and more — illustrated through archival-style photojournalism, never through AI-generated faces of real people.
🎵 Style: 80s synth-pop power ballad, gated reverb drums, DX7 keys, bittersweet and cinematic
📅 Setting: March 1986
📼 Part of the Midnight Wax Club time-capsule series
