May 12, 2021 · The wider retro culture and visual aesthetic of synthwave feels almost as important as the music itself. Instead, it’s a genre that shows its relevance and impact in other ways. Take, for instance, the soundtrack to Netflix’s smash hit Stranger Things series, which premiered in 2016.

- Cliff Martinez - Drive OST (2011) The most pivotal moment in the emergence of synthwave as an recognisable sound, the Drive soundtrack arguably had more cultural impact than the Nicolas Winding Refn-directed movie itself.
- Perturbator – Terror 404 (2012) Metal’s favourite synthwave artist was harder, darker and more deranged than his contemporaries from the very start. It would be 2016’s opulent The Uncanny Valley that would confirm his rise to prominence, but the Frenchman’s debut was every bit as monstrous.
- Kavinsky – OutRun (2013) Synthwave was thriving long before the rock and metal scenes started paying attention, and Kavinsky was one of the genre’s early breakout stars.
- Carpenter Brut – Trilogy (2015) Synthwave’s resident rock’n’roll showman could hardly fail. Even without the eye-melting weirdness of his videos for early smashers like Turbo Killer and Roller Mobster, Carpenter Brut was clearly hell-bent on entertaining people as hard as possible.
- The Midnight. Ask current synthwave fans who their favorite artist is and it’s a good bet their answer will be "The Midnight." By combining nostalgic synth tones with lush EDM effects and sealing it with a polished vocal delivery, The Midnight combines past and present in an accessible pop package with mass appeal.
- Waveshaper. If there’s a single active artist whose music embodies the essence of synthwave, it’s Waveshaper. Fans of early video game soundtracks will spot the influence of iconic composers like Chris Huelsbeck in the chunky textures and 16-bit sonics of Waveshaper’s music, which takes traditional synthwave and enlivens it with quirky songwriting and brilliant sound design.
- Dance with the Dead. Despite its frequent warmth and fondness for bright melodies, synthwave counts an unusually high number of metalheads among its devoted fanbase, and no single artist represents the deep bond between those two genres more than Dance with the Dead.
- Gunship. Synthwave, as with many established genres, is occasionally high on imitators and low on innovators, which makes Gunship’s combination of contemporary alt-rock and electronic with ‘80s influences particularly noteworthy.
