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.

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

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

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

Most of the a e s t h e t i c comes from 80s film and anime.

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:

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.
