Synthwave is a music genre that draws inspiration from the sounds and aesthetics of the 1980s. It combines electronic music with nostalgic elements, often featuring synthesizers, drum machines, and retro-futuristic themes. Artists like Kavinsky and The Midnight create tracks that evoke feelings of nostalgia, often reminiscent of classic video games and movies from that era. Visually, synthwave is characterized by vibrant neon colors, grid patterns, and imagery of sunsets and cityscapes. This style is often seen in album covers, music videos, and artwork, creating a unique blend of past and future. The genre has gained popularity in recent years, influencing fashion and pop culture.
