SynthRave is a high-energy electronic music subgenre that fuses the warm, melancholic aesthetic and 80s analog sound palette of SynthWave with the driving, euphoric rhythms and build-up/breakdown structures of 90s Eurodance and Trance (Hands Up).
Thematically, SynthRave rejects the typical car/city landscape of Outrun, focusing instead on a distinct retro alien and UFO aesthetic. It is a faster, bouncier version of SynthWave designed for high-intensity dance events and parties.
"Have you heard the new Nova Helix track? That’s pure SynthRave—that bouncy beat and alien theme is infectious."

It also occasionally incorporates the happy, upbeat sound of Bubblegum Dance and the heavy drops of Brostep.

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.

Synthwave Schizo

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.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
