>What is DarkSynth
Darksynth is a sub-genre of Retrowave, with darker, heavier elements, generally sp00ky all round.

It's actually called synthpop/disco desu, if the music actually originated from the 80s then it's not synthwave.
>darksynth
It's called darkwave ya dip
>>1373468
No dawg, synth-pop is a different genre cluster altogether and has more to do with post-punk and gothic subcultures. There's some overlap with a select few groups (especially the more grimdark-sounding ones) but the cross-scene influences are generally very limited
What you're thinking of is italo disco from the 80's/early 90's, this is also why sometimes synthwave is being called new italo disco because it's a kind of revivalist movement
t.audiophile afficionado who listens to way too much italo, eurodance, outrun, idm and every other electronic genre under the sun
>>1373503
>darkwave
Wrong nigger, you can't just add wave to everything and call it a genre, its sounds someone edgelord is trying into music.
>>1373507
Then italo-disco isn't synthwave, A good example of this is >>1371654, its not retro sounding yet still uses synthesizers. There is a clear distinction between synthwave and retrowave.

There's no definite word defining this type of music. It all depends of the artist, really. Caprenter Brut likes to say he is just a guy having fun and trying stupid things with his synth. Perturbator just call it darksynth, but they all really don't care. Just enjoy the vibes
>>1371691
Underrated carpenter brut track and my favorite.
It's the kind of track you'd have playing while you cruise the streets of Miami in a Lamborghini Countach

Well instead of stealing youtube videos off NewRetroWave by using a youtube to mp4 and getting crappy resolutions.
Download the actual album and convert the mp3 to webm. Just trim the video to 300 seconds, set the bitrate to 1 and file-size to 4mb. If it magically goes over 4mb ( 4mb is 1024kilobytes x 4 while the 4chan limit is 4000kilobytes) just set it to 3.9mb.
>>1376232
That's all I wanted really.
>>1376239
I do something similar to this. I usually use openshot video editor as it's basically just a gui wrapper around ffmpeg.

How come cartoons don't look this good anymore?
>>1379555
sick burn yo. will let them know.
>>1380314

>>1380314
It's a late 80's OVA from Osamu Dezaki. Cartoons rarely looked this good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLzjm9E1hwg
He is dead.
>>1380314
>How come cartoons don't look this good anymore?
Increase of moe shit, harem shit, basically crappy light novel adaptations, basically because anime studios are too poor to create original work so they have to pump out shit anime just to stay afloat.not to mention whole stigma of being a "weaboo" is sinking the current anime industry, luckily there are some good studios such as madhouse that pump out good shit on a constant basis. Gainax is another good studio but they've become irrelevant this past decade or so.
>>1380349
but its true anon, whatever edm track a ruskie makes, guranteed a frenchie can make it better.
frenchies are the masters of electronic music, this is no different for synthwave, just look at carpentur brute, vulta, pertubator, all from france/belgium.
>>1380757
I think you might be unto something. I personally don't care for this genre, but a friend was curious of any reactions. Thanks for the honesty, seriously.
Synthwave is reddit-tier music, it's fine to like it but openly talking about liking it is pathetic.
>>1383578
Yeah, that is very accurate. There is too little substance for any deeper interest beyond background noise. I wouldn't say pathetic, but worrying or annoying.
>>1383578
>reddit-tier
anybody who uses this terminology should end themselves using all haste
>>1383512
Well sorry for giving your friend shit, it's alright but the tracks are a bit amateurish imo, needs a little work, however for music that is free to download I won't judge.
>>1383578
Agreed, 4chan circa 2013-2016 is nothing but reddit 2.0. I have close friends who are constant browsers of Reddit and they tell me that their favourite subreddit is /r/4chan.
The mere mention of this makes me openly admit to tell them to go kill themselves.
>>1384219
Nice reddit meme
>>1383598
>>1383598
>There is too little substance for any deeper interest beyond background noise
You triggered me there a bit but yet again I feel the same way about vaporwave which funnily enough, is a tumblr meme.
The only reason I actually listen to synthwave is because its the best genre of music to listen to when stoned or on acid,
pic related, good track to listen to

You answered the question "What is Synthwave" by posting an Italo Disco track, thus suggesting that Synthwave is Italo Disco or has its root in Italo Disco, which is plain bullshit.

>>1398865
please god, someone sauce this track.
>>1403919
Its an unreleased track by Virtual Riot called 5AM Loop. If you're expecting more like this from him you might be disappointed. He primarily makes dubstep and, more recently, future bass. I'd recommend checking out some of his stuff anyway though since he's seriously an amazing producer.
>>1400883
Tried to find the song on my own, but wasn't able to. Does anyone know the artist and song name?

>>1403683
>Any there any songs with a similar feel to this?
Yes, just search for chillwave or synthpop
That track you posted is from Trevor Something Does Not Exist who periodically posts lyrical remixes to already created synthwave tracks
Many Synthwave artists like to create Avante Garde tracks in their album to slow down the pace and rhythm of an album, however most of these tracks are within the Start, as an intro, or at the end of the album, personally I do not like them because they seem to be drawn out for too long and try hard to be "experimental"
>>1405388
correction, that track is from Perturbator, but the point still stands
>>1400883
Sounds like something King Coffee would make desu

There's a few artists who do that which deserve your ire, though that particular Perturbator track is pretty good in the context of the album, slow start then it's a mad dash to the finish. It's not for everyone but I put that album as one of my personal favorite synthwave albums.
>>1411941
Agreed, however the comes to a point where synth Avante Garde is boring, repetitive and trash.
Lyrical synthwave on the other hand...

Oh yeah, Toyko Rider is great. I found them looking for stuff that sounds like Lazerhawk's Overdrive. Something fast paced that ain't dark synth and here they are. They even "admitted" on an AMA that they are heavily influenced by that particular track.

I don't get it none of this music sounds like 80's synth music. I think you're getting the 80's mixed up with Drive soundtrack, because these all sound very modern in style. Also none of the songs have vocals
>>1467807
A it's only inspired by synth pop and soundtracks of the 80s.
And B most of the stuff in here is dark synth, which really doesn't sound like the 80s, but that's what kids like these days.
If you want stuff that sounds geniunly 80s, stick to Miami Nights 1984.

Ripped it from SoundCloud along with a bunch of other stuff in a "New Retro Wave" playlist a few months ago. File saved with the filename "classic_electronica5.mp3". I'm assuming "Classic Electronica" was the name of the song. I've searched for it on SC since then. Maybe I'm just shit at it, but no luck.

Klayton is the fucking bomb. He runs Celldweller, Scandroid and Circle of Dust and still manages to make each one unique.

dresden was bombed by the americans, not russia. and i'm seeing quite a few non russian things in this webm but it gave off the vibe that this was gonna be a russia war webm. btw if any of you never studied ww2 you should study dresden. americans killed way more in dresden than the atomic bomb drops in japan. it is really horrifying how many americans killed just to speed up the end of the war. dresden and the atomic bombs pretty much scared both nazi germany and japan into submission.
