When will synthwave artists stop letting weak-voiced singers mumble over their music?

Everyone knows Perturbator
What made you think I would exclude those tracks from my statement?

And more importantly, how can you not consider those singers as weak-voiced? Have you been listening to nothing but Yung Lean for the past 3 years or something?

damn son, chill ur shit

I find them pretty matching for the genre. If I am looking for stronger voices I will go to other genre.

It is like asking "When will heavy metal artists stop excluding accordions in their music?"

Definitely check Volkor X, this is one of my favorites from him: https://soundcloud.com/volkor-x/masked-death

Kavinsky has nice stuff too: https://soundcloud.com/deadcruiser/protovision

Power Glove has nice stuff too: https://soundcloud.com/powerglove/powercore

This track from Alon Mor. It's a bit unconventional, but I highly recommend it: https://soundcloud.com/alonmormusic/hollys-necklace

This one is something I made :): https://soundcloud.com/theepicnate/last-hope

listen here you little shit.

Synthwave, essentially, is not music for millenial stoners who want to "chill". It's music that tries to sound like movie OSTs from the 80s and to harken back to New Wave hit songs of the same time period.

Listen to New Wave. You'll hear plenty of vocalists who push their voice. Even the average New Order song is more vocally intense than that. And stuff like Perturbator is supposed to sound harder and even more intense than New Wave. Why bring it down with singers who sound like they're high on cheap weed?

The trend of mumble vocals in synthwave is just an unfortunate side effect of the "real human being" song being so well-known and influencing the vocal performance (or lack thereof) of those singers.

Again, chill your shit.

I never sad it was meant for chilling. I said the current voices match the genre, even in harder sounding songs like those from perturbator. I agree it is not for millenial stoners who want to chill.

Still, this is my opinion. And yours is yours. Just relax dude, damn.

>I said the current voices match the genre
Ad I just explained you why that's wrong.
Not all opinions are correct.
Your is incorrect, for example.

Does synthpop count too?

No, this is a subjective matter. I like the voices, you do not, that is it.

It seems you have quite a big chip on your shoulder.

I'm new to this genre.
Where do I start?

>>70081083
No, it's not a subjective matter. Your claim wasn't "it sounds good to me", your claim was " it seems pretty matching for the genre", and if it seems that way to you, it's an illusion, because objectively, it's not matching.

>It seems you have quite a big chip on your shoulder.
Maybe I do, but it doesn't matter, because I'm not the one who's tolerating shitty musical choices.

Synthwave still exists? I thought it died several years ago.

No genre ever dies. They only marginalize as mainstream changes.
