Hello /wsg/, I am a massive fan of the synth genre and I'm sure many of you guys will be too, currently there is a new and upcoming synthwave scene since 2011 and its steadily been getting popular, the fact that there isn't a synthwave general on /wsg/ astounds me, so starting today, I will creating the first /swg/ Synthwave General, >inb4 go back to /mu/

>what is synthwave
Synthwave is essentially any music with the synthesizer and no bass, think HOME
>what is Retrowave,
it is musical style that emerged in the mid-2000s, influenced by 1980s soundtrack music.Think Robert Parker
>what is darksynth
basically its like retrowave, except heavier and darker, and cool guitar solos. Think Perturbator or Carpenter Brut
Please, no vaporwave shit
vaporwave=/=synthwave
80s retro aesthetics, are fine though.
If you still dont know what synthwave is, then have you ever played Hotline Miami? Kung Fury? Blood Dragon? they are essentially what this genre is about.

Like shopping for marble statues in an abandoned mall outside Miami. At 3 am. In 1989.
Good shit.
>>1217112
>>1217060
I remember early last year I made that webm, along with 2 others to help promote dance with the dead. If like to think I was successful in my attempt.
>>1217139
fast forward one year and dark synth is getting popular, just look at perturbators uncanny valley on bandcamp

Yeah I was there. Not 100% the same but similar style.
>>1217070
Gonna need some sauce with this.
>>1217070
souce????
>>1217093
I know this isn't synthwave, but that orthodox choir sings beautifully.
I'm going to need sauce.

>>1217099
What's the track in this one?
>>1217078
What's the song name?
Synthwavefags, whose your top 5 favorite groups?
I got
Dance with the Dead
Electric Youth
Timecop1983
Perturbator
Lazerhawk
also, anybody else got into this shit through synthpop
>>1221373
>>1217663
the fucking track that sold me on the genre
>>1217099
Out of Body, Dance with the Dead
How has this not been posted yet?
Cartoon is Cool World, song is Andromeda (Dance with the Dead)
how the fuck would you even dance to synthwave?
also, how come there is no synthwave shows ever?
>>1222234
i think there's a further resurgence of retro-synth electronica in the 2014-2016 indie dance music scene, which is more dance-able
and i would say my fav synth electro bands in no particular order are (with a song attached):
Flashworx - Odaiba Chase
Kavinsky - 1986
Dynatron - Propulsion Overdrive
Miami Nights 1984 - Ocean Drive
Nightcrawler - Necro City
>>1217060
vaporwave > synthwave
>>1222485
EBIN MAYMAY BEIT M8!
>>1222185
Personally, I like darksynth artists because shits hit harder than synthwave but my top picks are
Vulta, Dance With The Dead,Pertubator, Dan Terminus,Carpenter Brut, GoST
Retro/synthwave i'd go with
Robert Parker, Power Glove, HOME, Trevor Something, TCR
>>1222485
Kill yourself, its faggots like you who cant differentiate between 2 different genres just because they have W A V E at the end, I bet it was you who made this thread >1221381
>>1222234
Personally for me, I listen to this shit when I'm fucking stoned, its pretty good music when you just wanna chill and green the fuck out. Especially listening to chiptune mashups like Glitch Black
Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS5P_LAqiVg
That is a synthwave show, is it not?
Most of the a e s t h e t i c comes from 80s film and anime.
This is a good thread.
>>1222265
This is by far one of my favourite tracks.
>>1222185
>top 5 favorite groups?
Perturbator
Carpenter Brut
GosT
...anyone else is not worthy of a "Top 5" in my opinion, but...
Freeweights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAfE2vJ9iVg)
Trevor Something
>also, anybody else got into this shit through synthpop
Not really, but my dad used to listen to Camouflage, Depeche Mode and various others back in the day, so I grew up with it.
Stuff like this was very easy to get into for me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgWSFx9ptkU
Bonus mention: Gesaffelstein
More "Industrial House" than anything, but I have him in the same playlist most of the time.
>webm
>>1222567
Not memeing. You'll understand when you're an adult.
>>1223080
>projecting this much
What the fuck are you even on about? How does expressing a preference between two subgenres imply that I can't differentiate between them? You are literally retarded. And I don't OP threads bc I'm not a faggot like you
post more synthwave
>>1223080
>That is a synthwave show, is it not?
yeah but its absolute shit, Danger 5 season 2 pulled the 80's shit way better than that piece of shit "movie"
>>1223386
I think what we're trying to get at is that Synthwave > vaporwave at least musically
>>1219775
was this ever released as a single standalone song? all i remember is that it was part of some mix. really good though
>>1223386
I think they're both good genres with good and bad. That being said, it is mostly vaporwave that seems to have the meme following. Simpsonswave etc. I don't think you are helping improve the opinion of vaporwave of anyone here by acting like that.
>>1221999
Home - Resonance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GW6sLrK40k
A great song, I love it.
>>1223379
gost is pretty gud
>>1222485
Both are meme genres but the difference is the synth pop revival has legitimate artist behind it, vaporwave is made by teenagers with FL studio.
>>1223386
>le projecting meme
For someone who is accusing me of projecting, you're projecting quite alot yourself. Vaporwave is objectively shit, its a shitty tumblr meme and it should return to whence it came. What >>1224496 said. Stop memeing.
>I don't OP threads bc I'm not a faggot like you
Op is always a faggot, nigger
>>1224263
Eh, for a kikestarter its pretty good, panders to 80s fags like me with retro aesthetics and overthetop cliches
>>1224311
Its FrankJavCee's "Simpsons Wave", hes basically a meme artist
https://soundcloud.com/frankjavcee/simpsonwave
>>1224353

what got me into the genre but its overplayed as fuck on /wsg/
>>1224769

yeah but its not funny
>>1224770
>yeah but its not funny
humor is subjective
>>1224444
nice quads
more chillwave than retrowave but whatever
>>1217110
One of the best albums i ever heard.
i hope someone is saving all of these lol
>>1217064
Sauce on song please ?
What a great fucking thread, keep it up lads
would Synthwave be the parent term that then branches into Darkwave, Retrowave, and Chillwave?
Does anyone have that Wings of Honneamise AMV webm they can post?
>>1225254
>Wings of Honneamise AMV

I can make it for you later when I get back from work, but if you want it to look good it would only be about a minute of video, so let me know what minute of the video you want

>>1225452
Thanks senpai
So, judging from this thread: Synthwave is dead, long live darkwave!?
>>1224769
It's not projecting to call you a retard when you act like a retard
>>1222185
>Top five
Carpenter Brut
Lazerhawk
Com Truise
Kavinsky
Perturbator
>>1217091
what movie is this?
You guys should hear Le Cassette's stuff if you're a fan of Depeche Mode.
>>1226103
>not projecting
>proceeds to call me a retard
If you have nothing to contribute to this thread then why even bother posting? Your attempts to forum slide is futile.
>>1225208
Essentially yes
Synthwave>Retrowave>Darksynth
>>1225812
Not really, its all about personal preference, I've just been posting more darksynth and retrowave in this thread than synthwave
>>1226490
>>1226461
You clearly don't understand the meaning of projection, that's all. Just helping out.
>>1227442

Mega Driver Crimewave
>>1217060
>no bass
Do you mean no actual bass *guitar*? Because synthwave is pretty bass-heavy, just that the bass portion is played on a synth
>>1226292
the driver ('78)
There has already been a lot of Resonance but i had too
>>1237512
Thank you kind sir
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMjCxV7u8OA
>>1237522
No bass as in no dubstep wub wub bass,everything is flub flub synthwave. bass guitars are fine, except the guitars used are more 80s electro
anyway op is back to revive thread, we are close to image limit so imma dump some more aye,
if anyone has requests I can buy the album off bandcamp and upload it to mega, such as dance with the dead or carpenter brute
>>1224838
which is better? Original or remix?
>>1243479
>>1243443
Definitely original. It's my favourite DWTD album and that opening is no small part of that.
>>1219543
My fucking jam
>>1217112

I like this music very much, is there more songs with more lyrics?
>>1222185
Noir Deco
Perturbator
Miami Nights 1984
Neon Indian
Dance With The Dead
>>1222185
Carpenter Brut is a cut above the rest, but I also like
Magic Sword
Dance With the Dead
Pertubator
and a cheeky Starcadian, if only for Chinatown, one of, in my opinion, the all time greats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyO-MyJ4R1g
>>1251490
I recommend Trevor Something

1. Carpenter Brut
2. Dance with the Dead

Miami Nights 1984, Lazerhawk, and Mitch Murder take a tie for 6th.
