Great stuff, sounds like it came from the 80s indeed m8!
this doesn't sound "straight from the 80s" and maybe isn't really retrowave but it's really good and I think most retrowave fans will love it:

>gear
I have a guitar, a bass guitar and a shitty casio keyboard. Looking to sell the keyboard to get a midi controller which allows me to make proper synthwave.
>projects
will start a retrowave project after I get said controller. I'll plan to make an assortment of truly retro sounding music and also more modern stuff, a la Perturbator/Carpenter Brut and also stuff like FM Attack

I love how well they nailed retro on this one, it's like watching an 80s movie, those synths with that funky beat
honestly, what's the appeal with this shit? there's not a single track that does anything new, it's literally trying to do nothing but recycle what people were doing 30 years ago because of some pseudo nostalgia. why do people think this is good?
at least electroclash tried new things. synthwave is just fucking pitiful nostalgia music for /v/ to pretend to have a musical palette
>>61121430
>he hasn't played hotline miami, loved the music and went around looking for similar sounding stuff
dude, you come to every single synthwave thread on /mu/ and post that shit. You come across as insecure TbH.
>at least electroclash tried new things
>implying retrowave usually sounds the same as actual 80s music
>implying you can't see modern influence in the sounds of the drums, the song structure and other things
>>61120986

this sounds pretty much like it came from there

it brings new stuff to the table
the classics will stay classics
>>61121551
>s-stop pointing out that my musical taste is based around sh-shitty nostalgia pandering
>it brings "stuff" to the table
What does it do that's new?
>>61121578
>s-stop pointing out that my musical taste is based around sh-shitty nostalgia pandering
that would be true if I had lived the 80s. I didn't. I genuinely enjoy the music and want to listen to stuff from that genre. Are current rockabilly bands "nostalgia pandering"? I don't think so.
>What does it do that's new?
Things like... errr... quality songs? Don't you enjoy having a wider variety of good songs withing the genres you like?
Also just like >>61121479 pointed out, it usually has a different sound to it than the older stuff. Listen to this and then find a single 80s synthwave song that sounds like it.

>newer is better
The average pleb's mentality, ladies and gentlemen
80's nostalgia is so played out, 90's nostalgia is coming you dumb faggots, best be prepared
>>61122038
B-but anon older is better also seems to be a pleb mentality. Actually, thinking about it generalizations of any kind seem to be a pleb mentality.

>implying vaporwave hasn't been around for longer than retrowave
>implying vaporwave isn't ironic shit because 90s music was shit in general
>implying the appeal of vaporwave isn't irony
Synthwave is meant to be musically enjoyed, vaporwave is meant to be nostalgically ironically "enjoyed".
>>61122127
Never said that older is better or that there isn't good new stuff
>>61122127
you can't deny the fact that it was much harder to press a record if you were shit back in the day. Now almost any faggot with internet can do it. It's a good thing on one hand, because great artists have been able to record and wouldn't have back in the day, but it also enabled a lot of shit music to get recorded.
>>61122184
Never said that you said it but since you didn't mention it I just pointed out the obvious.
>>61122252
yep

fuck nigga, where do I find this grand book of rules?

fair enough

>implying vaporwave artists care about doing good music and not just ironically mixing 90s samples
>>61120986
I don't know a lot of retrowave, but I fucking love this one

>>61122184
The appeal of a lot of vaporwave isn't irony. Maybe initially it was, but if you still believe that's intended for all vaporwave, you're shit and give listeners a bad name.
>Retrowave
>not just listening to actual 80's music
>doing the above while trying to criticize other genres for being inauthentic
I'm praying for you, anons
>>61122443
>doing the above while trying to criticize other genres for being inauthentic
I'm criticizing them for being ironic and not sounding good, I don't care about "authenticity". I don't think anyone actually enjoys pic related for its music.
And I listen to actual 80s music too. Moroder, Wang Chung, Jan Hammer on the synthwave field. A lot of other artists on the metal, hard rock, new wave, funk fields.
>>61122384
>implying vaporwave artists care about doing good music and not just ironically mixing 90s samples
durrrdurr irony haha lelelelele
well, it's not as ironic as it's just vibing out on some flame samples that have some nostalgic properties to them.
who gives a fuck about musicality outside of classical or theater/movie-score composition?
literally no one, that's who.
chill it with your "oh so le fucking ironic hahaomg" attitude
How typical, someone makes a synthwave thread and all the shitters come to act smug and try to convince people that synthwave is shit. Why doesn't it surprise me.

Have you listened to a single other vaporwave album? Most vaporwave fans agree that floral shoppe was completely forgettable, only remembered because it was literally spammed on here for months.
>>61122938

look at the poster count, dipshit

yes, SURFING and 2814. I still believe vaporwave is a meme.
>>61123128
>2814
meant to say Birth of a New Day
>>61122938
not him but I have never seen people in those threads bash retrowave out of nowhere. You're just like any other insecure music listener on youtube who assumes someones listens to "shit like lil wayne and justin bieber" just because they left a negative comment on a song's video. Just chill out, you're embarrassing everyone else who wanted to participate in your thread. You even scared this guy away. >>61121113
>>61122384
lol you completely just dodged the question.
>>61122660
>I don't think anyone actually enjoys pic related for its music.
Oh I forgot, just because YOU don't like something theres just NO WAY anyone could like it, not a single person. Can you start using a trip so I don't make the mistake of listening you don't like? I want to make sure I'm enjoying the correct music.
>>61123267
>lol you completely just dodged the question.
I didn't, the literal objective of composing that kind of music is ironic enjoyment. Just like a hipster wears certain clothes that are objectively ugly, even to himself, but he finds ironic.
>>61123267
>Oh I forgot, just because YOU don't like something theres just NO WAY anyone could like it, not a single person. Can you start using a trip so I don't make the mistake of listening you don't like? I want to make sure I'm enjoying the correct music.
lel, I was just generalizing a bit. Most people listen to vaporwave for its ironic and memetic value.
>>61123267
>You even scared this guy away.
hey, I'm still here.
Pic related is the same model of my keyboard. Really shitty if you want to do anything serious, although it's good to learn. I literally asked for that model as a kid because of the meme lights. Kids like novelty stuff.
>>61123714
I wouldn't try to get rid of that if I was you...

Can we please call it synthwave? Retrowave sounds so dumb.
>>61124810
it makes it explicit that we aren't talking about 80s synthwave
