Met a girl who likes Synthwave. I've never even heard of this genre before today. Please show me some albums that will impress her.

wow, you too know about the wacky optic illusion noise album?

You shouldn't really respect nostalgia-pandering music, and that is basically what this entire genre is, so don't try too hard to impress her OP

NO DON'T LISTEN TO HIM OP THAT'S NOT SYNTHWAVE THAT'S VAPORWAVE!

It's just music made in the style of the soundtracks to blade runner and john carpenter films, what could possibly be wrong with that
>>63485017
Fuck you.
Not op but why do some people on /mu/ hate synthwave so much? I can get electro swing since its fans can be cringy, but most synthwave fans seem pretty chill desu
>>63485296
Because it doesn't attempt to be inaccessibly original
For some reason it's unacceptable for music to be referential in any way

Actually College and Electric Youth are considered synthwave too. In fact they, along with several other synthwave artists, are going to be the subjects in a documentary on the synthwave scene.

Test her authenticity and actually watch some movies that have cheesy synth scores and see what she thinks.

Also check out the New Retro Wave channel on youtube. Synthwave songs get uploaded there all the time and they even have a few full album streams. Here's a song I discovered recently on there, give it a listen:
