Synthpop

Synthpop is a genre of electronic music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is characterized by the use of synthesizers and drum machines to create a pop-oriented sound. Synthpop often features catchy melodies, simple chord progressions, and a strong emphasis on rhythm. It is often seen as a bridge between traditional pop music and more experimental electronic music. Synthpop is often associated with the New Wave and post-punk movements of the 1980s.
