Retrowave is a music genre and aesthetic that draws inspiration from the sounds and visuals of the 1980s. It combines synthesizer-driven music with nostalgic themes, often evoking feelings of nostalgia for the pop culture of that era. Artists in this genre often use vintage synthesizers and drum machines to create a sound reminiscent of 80s film soundtracks and electronic music. The visual aspect of retrowave includes vibrant neon colors, retro-futuristic designs, and imagery associated with 80s media, such as sci-fi movies, video games, and arcade culture. This aesthetic is often seen in album covers, music videos, and digital art, creating a cohesive experience that celebrates the past while appealing to modern audiences.
