*This thread was originally about synthwave, but now its just about music in general. Post any music you like in this thread.*

Has been my favorite genre of music for a few years. There's a pretty elaborate history about it. Mostly it's just based on 80's video games and movies. Quite the nostalgia. The following is the history of Synthwave:

I've definitely had a soft spot for synthwave ever since playing Hotline Miami and it only grew on me since. I'm also liking your track a lot!

Another cool video on the rise and history of this genre is this one:

@Vus Nice. Funny thing is I never played the game. Ended up stumbling on "New Retro Wave" channel some years ago. Definately gonna try it out.

 

@Ainz Ooal Gown Awesome list bro.. This one is pretty badass too:

I’ve always loved this type of music just never knew what the genre was. Thanks for clarification @Xenogene!

 

As for your tracks, I personally think they’re really catchy and upbeat. If you haven’t yet I recommend checking out the Axiom Verge sound track for inspiration. I love the game and the music is also amazing. Keep it up man I’m definitely looking forward to hearing more of your work.

Here's a great synthwave gaming mix. Cheers!

Awesome track. It reminds me of this one from Neverending Story:
 

 

 

As a sidenote. These and other like-minded tracks are a major inspiration for synthwave in general. Neverending story was released in 84'. Giorgio Moroder the artist for "Ivory Tower" is so legendary that Daft Punk have a whole song dedicated to him
 

 

 

Another infamous track by Giorgio:

Probs on of the best game soundtracks ever... Blood Dragon OST (if you haven't played the game, well worth it, especially if you like retro 80s/90s heroes):
