Dark Wave is a genre of music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is a combination of post-punk, gothic rock, and synth-pop, and is characterized by its dark, brooding, and often melancholic sound. The genre is often associated with themes of death, despair, and the occult. Dark Wave bands often use synthesizers, drum machines, and other electronic instruments to create a moody and atmospheric sound.
