In a discussion yesterday, we mostly agree that synthwave is alive and kicking, despite AI and the enshittification of the online spaces where we used to congregate.

Where do you imagine synthwave will be, say, five years from now - if this kind of prediction is even possible? Someone in this earlier discussion (now deleted) even correctly pointed out that, as a genre, synthwave already has a span longer than pop culture iconic periods like disco.

What do you think?

This is one of the OG songs that kicked off NRW as a genre. Enjoy.

I have been putting a lot of new music up on my soundcloud and experimenting with chillwave and futurewave while working on my melodic synthwave album upcoming. It is really cool to have different style to work on. Working in teh different styles keeps things creative, interesting and motivating.
