I think Crystal Spires and Togas is more of a specific look associated with Raygun Gothic and general Retro Futurism associated with the 50s-70s sci fi, before Used Future and Cyberpunk became commonplace.

In that case, why are the two tropes separated here?

For the same reason blue and green are different colours
; they don't describe the same thing.

The main distinction with Crystal Spires and Togas is exaggerating the simplicity of technology a little bit further than Raygun Gothic, such as using colorful gems like they are a USB drive. But they are close enough related to not be a big difference with the aesthetics.

Does this trope actually have a real usable name that is used when discussing genres and aesthetics? I want to look for inspiration art but I don't know what to look up.
