Description: Synthwave, also known as retrowave or outrun, is a genre of electronic music that draws inspiration from 1980s pop culture, particularly the music, films, and video games of that era. It is characterized by its nostalgic, retro-futuristic sound, which features synthesizers, drum machines, and vintage electronic instrumentation reminiscent of the music from 1980s movies, television shows, and video games. Synthwave often incorporates elements of electronic dance music, new wave, and synthpop, and it typically evokes imagery of neon lights, futuristic cityscapes, and vintage arcade games. The genre has experienced a resurgence in popularity in recent years, with artists creating new music that pays homage to the sounds and aesthetics of the 1980s while also incorporating modern production techniques and influences.
