Payroll is the truth and exactly who I had in mind. He isn't jacking the 90s style but evolved from it like an alternative timeline plus he has his own vibe.
Synthwave is an interesting genre

If you actually lived through that wave you'd remember that even back then it was kinda corny. Tv shows/movies and the cocaïne era kinda made the esthetic outlive it's creative lifespan but it was never that exciting to begin with.
Good for vibes sometimes but as others have said, it can get very repetitive. I do find it interesting that I've never met anyone that lived through the 80s as an adult, and were nostalgic about it. Seems like it's the younger gen (myself included), romanticizing that shyt based on music videos, TV shows, etc, from that decade.
Carpenter Brut goes hard.
See them live if you get the chance.

Oh always seemed like a genre of a crazy 80s infused future

I'm surprised this hasn't gone mainstream yet as its been bubbling for a minute. Or maybe it has because I don't listen to the radio like that. And by that I mean have a streaming account and peep what everyone else is being fed.
Still got an onion on my belt. It was the style, you see? Do dig the evocative moods of the tracks though, especially ones with vocals:
A lot of them vibe really well. You've just got to sift through the crap to find them.

I prefer when vaporwave was vintage and cats were using the more authentic sounds, but it's still dope. I actually thought the genre been fading as a ton of tutorials were around back in 2019 teaching how to make it and everyone jumped on the trend then.

Man, if you wanna take it there I still vibe to cracktro chiptunes.
Sythwave is like a sideways evolution of these jams but nowhere near as creative as these dudes were on a whole nother level for what they worked with and how catchy they made it sound.

I think this depends on the amount of importance you place on music or artists being cutting edge.

I don’t argue with niqqas on the Internet anymore

Stuff from black producers who went to Japan and helped make city pop
Breakbeat
That’s the only revival shyt I like.
I second the psytrance if it sounds like ajurika the Tekken/ridge racer music producer

Drop some links breh. City Pop especially as I heard some jams from that other 80s Japanese funk R&B thread on here:

That's kinda the point. A lot of it depicts a dystopian future where 99% will be poor and Corporations will have dictatorship control. Think Judge Dredd, Blade Runner 2049. And it seems like we're headed in that very direction.
Some of it can be corny, but on the other hand it makes good night driving music.
