Synthwave: A retro-futuristic odyssey
Have you ever been swept away by retro-futuristic melodies and neon-soaked soundscapes? If you’re a Synthwave fan, you’ve probably wondered where this unique genre came from.
What is Synthwave?
Synthwave is an electronic music genre that draws inspiration from the soundtracks of 80s films, video games, and TV shows. Think classics like Blade Runner, Tron, and Miami Vice. This musical style is characterized by its use of synthesizers, catchy rhythms, and a distinctive visual aesthetic, filled with vibrant colors and futuristic urban landscapes.
A bit of history
While the roots of Synthwave can be traced back to the 80s with genres like synthpop, it wasn’t until the mid-2000s that it began to take shape as a defined genre. Artists like Kavinsky and College were pioneers in this movement, and their music gained worldwide recognition thanks to the soundtrack of the film Drive.
