I could continue for hours, but let’s leave it for now. I could also post a lot of stuff including vocals. I’m curious what songs @ffx and all the other Synthwave fans prefer.

In the 80s, synthwave was just called “music”.

Sure! Just stick a phaser on the master track and slow it down 30 BPM.

Not where I come from. It was simply called “Electronic” or “Synth”. And in case there were also some vocals, it was called “Synth Pop”. Indeed electronic music styles weren’t THAT specific in comparison with today, but of course we already had specific electronic music styles in the 80s, just like Acid, House, Electro and so on.
