The Violent Youth is an enigmatic force in the landscape of synth-pop and new wave music, embodied by their evocative sounds and introspective lyrics delivered in Russian. Emerging from the creative vision of lead artist Arthur Tsymbal, The Violent Youth has carved a niche for itself in the music scene, blending nostalgic synth sounds with modern electronic production. Arthur, hailing from Minsk, Belarus, later relocating to Germany, channels the essence of post-Soviet melancholy and youthful rebellion into his projects, making The Violent Youth’s sound distinct and resonant with a broad audience.

Since their inception, The Violent Youth has been prolific in releasing music that spans emotional landscapes, as evidenced by tracks like "Na Igle," "Odinochestvo," and "20s," which showcase their ability to weave complex emotions into catchy, yet haunting melodies. Lyrics explore themes of loneliness ("Odinochestvo"), existential angst, and a yearning for something beyond the mundane, encapsulated within the dreamy and often melancholic ambiance of their compositions. With each release, including "Глаза" and "Туман," The Violent Youth continues to solidify their standing in the music world as torchbearers of a new wave inspired sound, infused with the poignancy of post-Soviet identity and the universal quest for meaning.
