Good synthwave electronic song from the group ALEX, "Delete Soul."

Really good retro wavesynth album called Nostalia below with some really cool retro graphics.



Below the video this comment explains why retro wavesynth didn't exist as a genre during the 80s, but is only a genre now.

I rem the neon lights at target and some arcades in early 00s. But did this whole synthwave really exist in the 80s? I mean it sorta existed in movies but was it a concrete genre like now?

@Ziek No what we know of as Synthwave was not a thing in the 80s. It was mainly Synthpop style stuff with vocals but there were some instrumentals that could be considered the style. But Synthwave is more of a retro futuristic style. Its an imagining of an 80s that never actually was the 80s were my teen years. graduate highschool in 88. Now with that being said the 80s was the decade of BIG Synth music. But again most of was vocal style, Alphaville, Depeche Mode, etc. Basically Synthwave is, "Let's remember the fun and not focus on the bad", like you know the threat of dying in nuclear fire So its the "best" of the 80s...i mean depending on your point of view

Hilarious comment I saw beneath a retro synthwave video. lol

1980s - “The future will be amazing!”

2020 - “Take me back to the 80s”

Check out this electronic music from the 70s by a group called Electronic System. It's pretty cool and groovy.



Their full Album called "Disco Machine".

Check out this great trance/techno track by PPK, a Russian group. It's called "ResuRection" and is used as background music in many videos so you might recognize it. It sounds nostalgic and beautiful and moving.



Space Club Mix version



The official music video for PPK - ResuRection.



What do you think of this kind of music @galii and @Pixel--Dude?

Check out this cool electronic genre from the 70s called Space Disco. This hit is called "Space - Magic Fly". You've probably heard it before. It's a forgotten classic hit. Doesn't it sound nostalgic and groovy? lol



Check out this electronic song called Popcorn. It was the world's first electronic hit in 1969. Doesn't it make you feel nostalgic @Moretorque and @gsjackson? Do you remember this hit?



Check out these girls in 1969 dancing to Popcorn. Don't they look wholesome and natural and feminine? Like real women? lol

I remember POPCORN but the other sucks so I wouldn't remember it, actually I would much rather listen to you sing Winston.
