Modern Synthwave
Description
Synthwave, also known as retrowave or outrun, is a music genre that emerged in the late 2000s, inspired by the electronic sounds and aesthetics of the 1980s. Rooted in nostalgia, synthwave evokes the era's neon-soaked visuals, sci-fi movies, arcade games, and vintage synthesizers, blending these retro influences with modern production techniques.
The genre is characterized by lush synthesizer melodies, pulsating basslines, and driving drum machines, often reminiscent of classic analog gear like the Roland Juno-60, Yamaha DX7, and LinnDrum. Chord progressions and melodies in synthwave are often emotive and cinematic, evoking a sense of longing or adventure. Many tracks feature reverb-drenched pads and arpeggios, creating a dreamy, atmospheric soundscape.
Visual aesthetics play a significant role in the synthwave identity, with imagery often involving glowing grids, futuristic cityscapes, and vibrant neon colors. This retro-futuristic style draws heavily from 1980s media, including movies like Blade Runner, Tron, and The Terminator, and video games of the era.
Synthwave has found a devoted audience through platforms like Bandcamp and YouTube and has been featured in films, TV shows, and video games. Notable artists include Kavinsky, Perturbator, and Carpenter Brut, who have helped shape its cinematic, evocative sound.
