synthstruments

1. Any musical instrument that utilizes pre-recorded digital sounds, that are replayed through an electronic device - often but not necessarily fashioned as a facsimile of a pre-existing instrument - as the synthesizer piano, synth drums, theremin, keytar, guitar-synth. Notable for a distinctive buzzy, hollow sound.
2. The collective term for such instruments. See also, Synthstrumentation.

1. The distinctive sound of the 70s is often defined by the rise in synthstruments, creating the new wave subgenre of synthpop.
2. "Man, I love Africa by Toto, the synthstruments give it an otherworldly feel."
"Dude, that's lame, synthstruments were just a seventies fad."

synthetic washboards

The sound of a washboard being played, but generated solely by computer hardware or software synthesis.
No real washboards are folded, spindled, or mutilated when synthetic washboards are being employed.

The smartphone video game, "Undersea Match & Build" has plenty of synthetic washboards in one piece of its zax.

Synthesoomer

Maybe it's Hegel, maybe it's not. Nobody seems sure about that. The Synthesoomer is a fictional character (?) created by "Dank Memes with Hegelian Characteristics", a CPC propaganda tool that operates through Facebook, Instagram and Telegram. Synthesoomer allegorically represents the power of dialectics.

"WATCH OUT !" - the typical cry that accompanies memes that refer to Synthesoomer.

synthetic

Additive with zero overlap (conflation).

Based on the duality of meaning and structure (structural divergence).

Possible before the material past.

The meta moves from the paradoxical future to the future, however the synthetic moves from the pre-material past to the paradoxical past.
