Retro-futurism has been attempted recently and done quite well, though the examples I'm thinking of (Blade Runner 2049 and Alien: Isolation) are both far more spartan, utilitarian, and darker than Snow Crash. There's even cultural elements associated with the 80s to early-90s that will either have to be modernized or accepted as an anachronism the bimbo boxes, the Texan televangelist, Ed Meese and Ronald Reagan on currency, the Vietnam vet character.
