Synthwave
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre
Synthwave is electronic music that imitates the sound of the 1980s: analogue synthesizers, reverberant drums, arpeggios from Italo disco and images of neon and old films. French producers such as Kavinsky and College made it popular in the mid-2000s; Nightcall (2010) was heard in the film Drive (2011). The Weeknd, too, used those sounds in Blinding Lights.
Listening
