Synthwave is a music genre that draws inspiration from the sounds and aesthetics of the 1980s. It combines electronic music elements, such as synthesizers and drum machines, with nostalgic themes often found in retro video games, sci-fi movies, and pop culture of that era. The genre evokes a sense of nostalgia while incorporating modern production techniques. In addition to music, synthwave has a distinct visual style characterized by neon colors, grid patterns, and futuristic imagery. This aesthetic is often seen in album covers, music videos, and artwork, creating a cohesive experience that transports listeners back to the vibrant and imaginative world of the 1980s.
