A musical movement and genre that combines the sensibilities of 1980s Synthpop with elements of the New Wave of the same era. Highly focused around 1980s pop sounds, Synthwave can exist with or without vocals.

A modern genre of electronic music that is influenced primarily by 1980s pop culture. Sounds very similar to Italo Disco and usually has retro-futuristic themed album covers.
If you wish music was still like the 80s- it IS like the 80s if it's synthwave.

A forgotten alternative genre of people who enjoy a wide variety of synthwave music that is mostly aggressive. This phenomenon also includes hardstyle, phonk, and songs similar to after dark. People who fall into this category are fundamentally different from goth/emo because they do not show themselves as being Synthwave schizos. Usually you will find Synthwave schizos in the gym going hard or generally being super sigma.
