Best 100 synthwave releases

Synthwave is a genre of electronic music that emerged in the late 2000s and is heavily influenced by 1980s pop culture and film soundtracks. The music typically features retro-futuristic, atmospheric, and nostalgic sounds produced by vintage synthesizers and drum machines. Synthwave often incorporates elements of other genres such as rock, disco, and new wave, and is characterized by its use of prominent melodies, arpeggiated chords, and pulsating basslines. The genre has gained popularity in recent years, with many contemporary artists creating music that pays homage to the sounds of the past while infusing them with a modern sensibility.
