I never know what to feel about synthwave passing itself off as an 80s aesthetic. It’s definitely inspired by the 80s, but that’s not the full story - it’s a very specific subset of 80s musical genre and popular culture, taken out of wider sociopolitical context, and merged with modern genre, production and sociocultural norms to make something new!

It’s not ‘an 80s’, it’s ‘a new, cleaner, arguably to modern standards better 80s’

@captainhayashi@toot.cat It's 'the 80s as it marketed itself', which is how we end up returning to a lot of pop culture history - through the eyes and ears of those victors who wrote it
