Synthwave is a genre of electronic music that emerged in the late 2000s. It is characterized by its heavy use of synthesizers, drum machines, and retro-style production techniques. Synthwave often draws inspiration from 1980s film soundtracks, video game music, and pop culture. It typically features a blend of synthesized and sampled sounds, often with a strong emphasis on melodic hooks and retro-style basslines. Synthwave is often associated with the "outrun" aesthetic, which is inspired by the visual style of 1980s pop culture.
