Synthwave

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.

"You hear that new Synthwave single from Patrick Baker?"

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.

Guy 1: Hey have you seen john around anywhere?
Guy 2: No I haven't he has been in the gym I heard
Guy 1: Yeah he is such a Synthwave Schizo

The rotation causes conformational changes of the enzyme moving the alpha and beta subunits relative to one another synthesising atp from adp and inorganic phosphate.

atp synthase is arguably gods most elegent creation.

SynthVerse

A SynthVerse is a universe dedicated to sounding like a Synthesizer and looks like a Synthwave. It is far from our Universe and can only be accessed by a very good Starship but the easiest way is to use a Tardis.

Bro that song made me feel like I entered the SynthVerse.

Future Pop or Synthpop music with particularly over-emotive angsty lyrical content.
