Seems to be a popular aesthetic for synthwave compilations on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICcFMBzOnYs

I wonder if Drive originated this aesthetic or if it's just coincidence.

I can't tell you what originated the aesthetic, but it's not Drive because some songs on its soundtrack were already part of the established aesthetic.

It's definitely one of the major works in that world, however.

It's "Outrun" aesthetic, for example https://www.reddit.com/r/outrun
