Psychedelic 80s-themed visuals set to rock-sounding synthwave.

Exactly. I was just about to post that, I'm going to be buying a few discographies tomm. Specifically, Carpenter Brut's stuff who released a really crazy film based [1] on its music video for Turbo Killer [2]. It's worth checking out if you're into rock-sounding synthwave with 80's themed psychedelic visuals. I'm also buying like 3 more to support artists. ABout 7 years go now, Soundcloud enabled Bitcoin donations, and about a team of 5 guys includin me went on a tipping frenzy and tried to get adoption going that way. It was funny, because reddit allowed for direct Bitcoin donations there via a bot and you could name it whatever you wanted. So we did the same on Soundcloud, it's funny because I log into my old soundcloud account at the History of them is still there. Anyhow, I tipped like 20-30 guys on SC and even got some runway from an early adopter ($100?) to take it further and met a few EDM guys coming into Hollywood/LA area for a few sets and tried to explain it to them as none of them picked up there funds. Apparently, Soundcould didn't do a good job of notifying them that they had money waiting for them so ultimately it failed. I ended up giving the Bits I had left into people who set up full nodes on the network. But I always thought, especially as a DJ myself, that supporting artists with micropayments would be a good solution. Youtube now allows for tipping in their chatbox as I saw a few in house performances/sets be tipped by followers and fans, but it was alway

This 2016 article (posted on the song's 30th anniversary... we're now coming up for its 40th anniversary) is too old to note the LadBaby cover: We Built This City on Sausage Rolls link "Worst Song of All Time" or not, it's still an immensely popular song. If you want to poke fun at the 80s and their obsession with synths, poke fun at Scritti Politi instead! (e.g. Boom! There She Was link ) Meanwhile, the feeling of that 80s synth sound has been reimagined by modern composers, giving us synthwave and all its spinoff genres, and music videos made with an AfterEffects "VHS" plugin, like Turbo Killer this video

Newer is not specifically it since I'm getting a bit too "old / nostalgia" now, but here is a small list (songs chosen are not specifically their biggest but ones I like to come back to) French79 - Hometown link NTO - Invisible link Worakls - Trauma Worakls Remix link - Salzburg link Uppermost - sooo many ... Dance is iconic to me link - Flashback link - but his Revolution album gives a good walk around link Gesaffelstein - Hate or Glory link - Viol link M83 - you probably already know them, but Outro link Danger (my personnal king of "you had to be there", thus a live music in a club as exemple) - 4h30 link Justice - Stress (warning it and its clip are true to its name, it got awards, it got also banned from primetime) link - D.A.N.C.E link Or a ton more really, JM Jarre / Daft Punk / David Guetta really help breed an insane french electro scene each on their own way. EDIT: in a Kavinsky thread I feel like I should include Carpenter Brut - Turbo Killer this video - Le Perv link Pertubator - Future Club (you know it from Hotline Miami) link
