A few years ago there were just a few guys doing it, but now its really taken off. As a child of the '80s I feel kind of vindicated that all my favorite stuff is becoming popular again all of the sudden. I love it! Right now listening to Debbie Deb, DJ Laz, L'trimm, VHS Dreams, Lazerhawks, and Tangerine Dreams on mix while remodeling my house with a Fixed Carry A2 Carry Handle AR within reach.

No one has posted any GosT yet? For shame, dudes, for shame.
What's really funny about this whole movement to me is that a lot of it started from dudes in the metal underground. One of the bigger synthwave labels is also an extreme metal label - Blood Music. |

Aight, the first one I had to turn off after 15 seconds. I had that casio keyboard and it sucked then too.

Funny you bring this up. For some reason I have been on an 80's kick today. My morning started when I woke up at 3:00AM, realized I wasn't going to fall back asleep, and listened to Toto-Africa on my phone. It's been 80's all day since.

I have to say, the new synthwave coming out is fucking awesomely amazing. Really hits me in the feelz and takes me back to a time where fixed carry handles ARs, square bodied cars, big hair with big tits, and killing commies was axtually happening and cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL_3D4b3UZM

LOVE IT Edit to add.... Watch this.... funny as hell. https://i.scdn.co/image/81843096e567c1ae979ac38100b0079ef4be68da Not bad, but it's as if we've stepped so far back in time that the techno music will pique, again, with the songs/tunes just like the best era - which seemed to be 2004 to 2007. I, and many others, never understood why it went away from that. Best guess was: severe lack of talent. That's the only thing that could explain the last 10 years of synth-based music. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx2gvHjNhQ0OP's music is just a re-hash of the precursors to this. And this eventually built to what we had in the early 2000's. Incredible it all has to go around the circle once again to get to what's good.

 Kavinsky - Odd Look  Kavinsky - Nightcall (Drive Original Movie Soundtrack) (Official Audio) Not sure if Kavinsky counts. First one has a cool video with guns, fights, 80's inspired special effects and a Testerossa. Second one is just one of my favorites. Now I have to spend the next few hours catching up on what yall have posted as I didn't know there were more musicians out there like this...

Pictures of us kids cruising, the parking lot scene, the arcades, etc. They're just not out there. We never took pictures, pictures weren't a "thing" like it is today. Plus like you said it wasn't really a "thing" either, in the '80s we used to do a lot of biking, riding skateboards, then hung out and messed around with cars, shot guns, etc. but even when we knew something cool was likely to happen the chances of anyone actually bringing a camera to take pics of it were extremely low. Hell some of the stuff we used to get up to would probably get your ass beat if you whipped out a camera. I do have a couple boxes of pictures from back then, but they never got scanned when I had a scanner because I didn't think anyone would be interested in them enough to scan, and I'm sure that's the case with a lot of people as well. We're just too used to people taking pictures of everything, including their lunch, and that wasn't really done back then. Different technology was part of it, but a different mindset was a bigger one in my opinion. Anyhow, I've listened to most of the songs posted even though I said I wasn't gonna...time to look for a Bren Ten, damn you all.

That is an undeniable fact.
Not many generations of people in the history of the world got to live through the awesome range of experience that kids my age did. Hell, some of my friends have kids who are still in HS and when we talk about what it was like when we were in HS they don't believe us, yes we went out a lot, yes we did stupid shit a lot, and yes we actually had to actually talk to people. They're damn near shut-ins by choice and can't comprehend something as simple as randomly saying,"Fuck it, let's go do something we'll still be talking about in 30 years..." ETA: For example, several of us actually skipped out of school to see Ferris Bueller's Day off, because it just seemed like the right thing to do. Tell any of my friends' kids that and they do this:
