Synthwave

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.

Ninja

A covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan who is unlikely to be seen by anyone who isn't also a ninja.

Following a code of darkness and deception, ninja had some of the most advanced and complex martial arts training in history and had expertise in unorthodox military tactics that baffled pretty much anyone at the time.

Ninjas gradually disappeared from historical records during the Edo period. Theories abound regarding what exactly happened to them, but the lack of information about the matter leaves us unsure of the truth. This is not a coincidence, as the ninja code encourages ninjas to remain anonymous and mysterious.

So where are they now? The answer is actually the same one you'd get from your average person in feudal Japan- that being "We have no clue whatsoever."

A ninja has no face, leaves no name, and makes everyone wonder if he ever existed.

I'm gonna call my dad

Cyberpunk Fiction

It is set in the future, but not far enough into it to accurately predict things. Either a very corrupt government or a very corrupt corporation is running the joint. Expect the protagonist to either be a cyborg, a hacker, or both. If said protagonist is male, they're probably a total jerk. If the protagonist is female, expect their only character trait to be "capable." Expect the protagonist to at some point have a graphic sex scene that you didn't ask for. Expect virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and drug addictions to be an important part of the plot. Sometimes, genetic experimentation or nanotechnology is also thrown in there for good measure. Expect philosophical questions to be asked a lot (especially ones regarding a character's "humanity"). There is no countryside here, just a shit ton of metallic skyscrapers lined with neon lights and advertisements. Even if it's not set in Asia, expect to see a LOT of East Asian cultural influence (particularly in the neon advertising and the way people dress). The crime rate here is usually high. The villains often take the role of a crime lord, a ruthless businessman, a killer robot/cyborg, a mysterious hacker, or a shady government agent. Body horror may or may not be present. The story is often very bleak in tone, but sometimes ends on a good note just to be different.

Cyberpunk Fiction will make you fear the future.
