Retrowave

Retrowave is a nostalgic electronic music genre inspired by the synth-driven soundscapes of the 1980s, blending vintage analog textures with modern production. Characterized by warm, pulsating basslines, dreamy pads, and shimmering arpeggios, the genre evokes imagery of neon-lit cityscapes, cyberpunk aesthetics, and VHS-era futurism. Retrowave artists pull from synthpop, outrun, and cinematic scores, crafting immersive tracks that mix ethereal melodies with driving rhythms. Whether atmospheric and introspective or pulse-pounding and energetic, retrowave captures a retro-futuristic vibe that transports listeners into a stylized vision of the past and future.
