Let’s talk synthwave for a moment, maybe a little bit of other electronic sub-genres. So I’ll with some questions, how were you first introduced to synthwave and what are your favorite artists?
SYNTHWAVE
Hudson Hall
Eli Price
Unsurprisingly I was introduced to synthwave thanks to Hotline Miami.
Aiden Long
Burzum introduced me to dungeon synth
Ryder Gray
Not to sound like a dickhead, but who’s Burzum?
Jack Anderson
>"Heh, you're on the wrong board pal"
Mason Sanchez
The Youtube algorithm introduced me to Kavinsky, but unknowingly I had watched Drive about 5 years before. My favourites are Carpenter Brut, Dance With The Dead, Gost
Noah Davis
I weirdly found out about synthwave from Apocalypse Now, the OST has quite a bit of synth in it, so I went onto YT and typed up synth music and it came up with Synthwave. My favourite artist is carpenter brut, when I stumbled on Turbo Killer on Spotify.
Anthony Barnes
Gunship is the best. Every other synthwave artist sounds exactly the same to me
Brayden Carter
The only synthwave that's still relevant is Trevor Something
Levi Watson
>how were you first introduced to synthwave
blade runner and hotline miami
I enjoy it when I hear it but I haven't taken the time to delve into the genre yet
I'm not sure if these all qualify as synthwave but the devilman crybaby soundtrack reminded me a lot of hotline miami

Justin Brooks
Oh fuck..!
Leo Cook
What about Lazerhawk? His music is pretty great.
Jack Taylor
So Bones did a heavily influenced synthpop album, thoughts?

Lincoln Lee
I’ve never heard of them, but I’m just starting listening to their album. So what should I expect from them?
Brandon Peterson
Well Bones is one dude along a production crew, Team Sesh. He's famous for being insanely prolific. He usually does memphis rap/trap/cloud rap, so it's interesting seeing go in this direction.

Nathan Ramirez
Aight thanks for the info. As for the music so far, it’s decent but the lyrics are kinda weak. Obviously the best parts of the album are the beats and the sound mixing.
Isaiah Williams
Is Com Truise synthwave?
Michael Nelson
No, just synth pop.
Caleb Carter
how is he synthpop if his music is instrumental
Bentley Morales
Vocals doesn’t determine if it’s pop or not. Are you retarded?
Jacob Clark
you're literally the first person I've ever seen calling Com Truise synthpop. he's mostly considered synthwave/chillwave
Charles Collins
Is this actually good or are spainfags on twitter overrating the shit out of this album?
Jonathan Moore
Yeah.
Nathaniel Taylor
Leather Teeth is way better
Mason Cox
Yeah it’s pretty good. Though it depends on if you like horror samples or 80s aesthetics or anything like that. I suggest just listening to one of their tracks like Turbo Killer or Roller Mobster and see if you like.
Dylan Powell
>chillwave
Made up meme genre, doesn’t exist
Kevin Nguyen
It's a 10/10
Jonathan Morales
It’s good.
Adrian Perez
bump
David Long
It kinda does exist.
Caleb Jackson
I was introduced to synthwave because of my ignorance. I was producing music without even realizing what kind of genre I wanted to make. After a little bit of research, I've found FM-84, The Midnight, Neon Indian etc.
Jayden Parker
So I guess the saying was true, ignorance is bliss.
Zachary Ramirez
lel I just found out that someone I know is a fairly known synthwave producer, never heard of this genre before desu, his name is Lazerpunk, I cannot appreciate this kind of music tho
