Went from kid to mid-teen in the 1980's: I miss the neon, the arcades, the music... everything... looking forward to pizza and rootbeer on Fridays at the roller rink. It is difficult not to long for the past when I hear a mix like this. I'm just glad to have lived then so I have these memories.

grew up in the 80s in the uk. we didn't have all the neon and everything that synthwave is associated. Just seemingly unending tory rule, economic downturns, grey miserable weather, and endless drudgery of school and work and poverty. It's kinda amazing that Synthwave exists, it's like music from a childhood so many of us never got to experience, that was stolen from us, but brought back through time. I think that's why the sensation of nostalgia brought by these modern tracks feels so strange. We feel like we're back where we OUGHT to have been, when we know full well we never existed in the world these tracks ostensibly emulate. We should make a world where this music IS the childhood for many, with its bright neon lights and strange, beautiful, peaceful places, where they can flourish and make the world better with every step. We should be striving for a world for everyone that is filled with joy, where everyone can have peace.

In the USA, we actually had this privileged pastel neon life for a time. This is nostalgic for me because I DID live it. The fondest moments that flood back through the music. It was not only a simpler time but a more innocent time. Our generation escaped war and enjoyed an era of ease and comfort and relative security. We were naive to the ills and injustices that had come before or would soon return. We knew we had it good but, by the ignorance and confidence of youth, we simply believed it would never end. I'm sad for anyone who lived through these times and had those amazing feelings stolen from them by their circumstance or geography. I hope you can enjoy the glowing embers of it now frozen in the art for what it's worth and the promise it still symbolizes for the eternal optimists among us now. Know it was not just a fantasy. For a single fleeting beautiful moment in time, the dream was real.

Music like this doesn't make me nostalgic for a specific decade...more like feelings and moments in my youth. And, strangely, temperature. Heat and warmth, humidity and moisture. I realize now why a lot of synthwave imagery has to do with cars and driving. These songs transport me back to summer nights with my friends, driving at night with the windows down, humidity on my face and in my lungs, feeling the streetlights flashing by behind my closed eyes. Not a care in the world, no smartphones keeping us constantly connected to the wider world, no notifications to remind us of the existence of anyone but ourselves. Anything and everything felt possible. We could have driven with no direction till we ran out of gas, our only goal to escape the tedium of our small town, to experience something and someplace new, and it would have been an adventure, the greatest night of our lives. Being an adult brings its own freedoms, but always weighed down by commitments to jobs, homes, other people. I still experience these moments, but less frequently. More recently, visiting friends in Orlando, in the backseat of the car, heading home from a night out on the town. Three of us crammed into the backseat, I'm warm and hazy from the alcohol, sitting next to my friend-who's-more-than-a-friend, leaning my head on his shoulder and his head on mine. My friend is driving and The Midnight is playing on the speakers. I want to bottle these moments so I can revisit them forever, but I can't, so synthwave mixes will have to do. I wrote this while listening to "Echo" by Timecop1983.

Yes, it does. Very comforting.

I hate how so many retail businesses have gotten rid of their neon signs and decor. These days everything has the aesthetic of a hospital waiting room.

I feel like the positivity of the 80s was from the budding seeds of technologies starting to enrich our lives in the right proportions without distracting us from it or enabling instant gratification of everything for everyone all the time. It was a naive time of hope and premature understanding of how technology would truly impact the world, and that's why we viewed the 'future' as such a wonderful beautiful thing full of possibilities. And I think that's why retrofuturism is such a thing now. People are nostalgic about what they thought the future would be like and the hope we had because now we've seen where we ended up and we want to rewind it back. Because the actual future didn't measure up to the versions we dreamed up back then.

The cyclical nature of history means the "80's" will return one day. It won't be called the 80's anymore, but the vibe will return, as it has returned many times throughout history, the people are just no longer around to remember those decades. To me the 80's represent a healthy balance of nature and technology, when mankind was a slave to neither. Don't worry, the 80's will come back again, maybe not for us, but our grandchildren.

Sitting on the grass is still free :)

Synthwave music has such a unique way of unlocking old childhood memories. Sitting here tonight listening to this, I'm thinking about how my mom used to take me with her to K-Mart in the mid 90's to go get her Kodak camera pictures developed. There was a guy named Tom who worked in the camera department who would always put out his hand to me for a high five, and right after he would pretend to stumble backwards as if I actually had the strength to make him fall backwards as a little kid, and it always made me laugh so hard. And then we would listen to Dr. Seuss stories on cassette tapes in the car while on the way to garage sales after getting lunch with the warm summer air rushing in the the rolled down windows of the ole mini van. I didn't realize how magical those days were in the moment. I am so grateful that I got to experience those times, but it hurts so much to remember them..

Same here, I was born in 1991, but don't underestimate how long the 80's lasted in the 90's, if you know what I mean. Like colourful 80's-style murals on playgrounds or in the IKEA. My parents stayed in the 80's style for a long time, the music kept being played on the radio and especially if you didn't get all the 'fancy new stuff' as a kid, then your life was a mishmash of 70's, 80's and some cheap 90's stuff. Because everything that wasn't hip in the 90's (like 80's stuff) would be on sale and cheaper, youknow? My parents definitely did not purchase hip clothes for me, we didn't have the money (and it was useless, because I'd grow out of those within months.) So, you definitely enjoyed the 80's, just not in the same way the 80's kids did.

'90s baby here, but 80s synthwave has always been my fave kind of music, no matter what since spotify came out I always gravitated to this type of music. The power it has to make you feel nostalgic about a time period you've never been is so incredibly astounding and amazing to me. I've always wished I could've grown up in the 80s, it seemed like such a magical, carefree, simpler time. :')

'90s baby here as well. Idk why but I love music between the era of the '70s to early 2000s. Maybe I'm being being nostalgic or romantizing the life that I never experience 😅

Fuck, that sample at 12:21 hit me with such a nostalgic feeling, I remember hearing it in a song way back in 2014, when me and my friends were in high school, learning about vaporwave and future funk, beautiful memories, time does move pretty fast

And it’s not just a game, but rather some another state of consciousness that is downloading right in your head and you’re dreaming and awake at the same time while listening to this stunning music with a great desire to be in all these places right after the end of loading…

im gen z, and this music is my childhood, im 16, turning 17 this year, and im so glad to have this kind of music nowadays, synthwave and lofi have gotten me through so damn much

This one hit. It hit like an emotional punch. The sounds with the choice in art takes me places.

As 44 y.o., excellent playlist selection and the scenes are perfect to match the nostalgic memories of a kid from the 80s and a teen in the 90s. Thanks!

feels great to know most of the artist in the video

Sometimes i hate the algorithm for reading me like an open book, but other times i see gems like these and thank the algorithm for showing me a gem like this

Pink and blue arcades, blank and empty indoor poolrooms, Old-Pepsi logo.... 90's iMac! I CAN'T TAKE IT!!! 😍🤤😭 Love you Odysseus! Totally rad, as usual!

I was in high school in the 80’s. These mixes are amazing. They could easily be the background music of my life.😁

These types of songs remind me just how much humanity has changed in the 20th century… and makes me nervous for the rest of the 21st century

as much as i love my hard and crazy music like phonk and heavy metal, i always love coming back to synthwave for a nice change of pace

It’s the smell of a mall and it’s indoor fountain, a movie theatre hallway, an arcade, car seat leather 😊

It is my firm belief that the vaporwave/ synthwave/ chillwave community is one of the best on KZread! Everyone is so kind and wants to vibe. We are all feeling sentimental and nostalgic for a time that doesn’t exist anymore.

Anyone else find some of these images unsettling? It’s got this uncanny valley effect for me where it doesn’t feel quite right.

idk for me those places just look calming and inviting

There will never be another era like it.

For me its not just the sounds but also the lovely art depicting the colors, textures, sights and sounds of what it was like to be alive in the 80s and early 90s. The neon, the interior designs of the theaters and shopping malls along with the smooth tones of the music really do take me back to those days which was worlds different than what we live today.

"But it gets increasingly more nostalgic" and I already feel like crying for a time I never got to live on Coastal Drive

The nostalgia hits hard with this music. The older I get, the more I miss the 80s. It was such an energetic, hopeful period. I'm grateful to have lived in those times. Many happy memories.

Love this. We are having a heatwave here in the U.K. and this is perfect for having on in the car and cruising with the roof down on a hot night to go get a cold drink and an ice cream from the drive thru.

@@SnacksDeCarGuy my advice is to get him off dry food immediately if he's on it, speaking from experience. Don't even feed the dry urinary stuff or anything the vet prescribed. It's junk. Dave's cat food sells a limited ingredient wet food (Amazon) that limits the ingredients which can form crystals. I put my kitty on that (and switch now between that and Nulo canned) and gave some natural urinary supplements for a few months. UROMAXX urinary, kidney and bladder formula (Amazon). I also put him on the urinary tract support kit by "two crazy cat ladies". The vet told me my cat would have problems for life and they would be seeing me again soon. They didn't tell me to do what I'm telling you to do, they told me things that would keep him sick. I took his health into my own hands and it's been 3 years now. He's fine!

Nostalgia is the new opiate of the masses

I gotta say, I'm absolutely in love with this concept for mixes. Music that evolves like that, feels almost cinematic, and it might open the door for introducing even other genres!

Something about like a neon arcade or liminal space type vibe, It makes me forever young as I felt as a little kid at the arcade, Just filled with amazement and awe

i think that this is nostalgic because we are all remembering the good times before the internet became a massive part of society such as the 90s and 80s where synths where used, this captures that 80s aesthetic but using modern technology that shows off how technology is rooted it's self into society for good and that these songs are an escape back to the past. Even for me who never experiences the 80s nor 90s but early 2000s, I still can feel the message behind the instruments. I think vaporwave and sub genres really shows that the internet is something good for the worst, even though the internet created these master pieces of reminiscence.

holy crap, i remember studying in my early middle years with this music, now i revisit it on a rainy night in the middle of the week, its kinda nostalgic, brings back some memories...

I'm really enjoying this. The idea of hotels being nostalgic is kind of crazy until you realize you've probably gone on family vacations and stayed in many of them. Swimming in the hotel pool seems to be a big part of those memories. The long hallways too.

As someone who was born in the late 90's that grew up with old school music (especially the 80's), this is some of the best music in the world! I love synthwave!

The images and music I would say are definitely a combination of the 80s and the 90s. I was born in 92 but so much of this is still very familiar to me.

Nothing is greater than listening to synth wave music while laying in a dark air conditioned room with cyan and magenta colored lights.

Nostalgic vibes to listen to while at work.

It became nostalgic as soon as Mitch murder came on ❤️

I have listened to a lot of vaporwave/synthwave mixes, but this is hands down the best I have found so far. It never gets obnoxious or overbearing, and manages to hits the right spot over and over again. Great work.

Amazing mix as always, love it so much!!! the Freddy Fazbear statue caught me off guard lmao

its like extremely long end credits to a movie or show that you finished, as the credit gets closer to the end the movie/show starts feeling more and more out of reach but yet still so memorable

Those glitches in the 3rd track are extremely aggravating. Breaks any nostalgia for me and underscores yet again why we moved on from analog tech. Same thing for the tape wobble in track 6. Too much of a good thing... you know the rest.

Even though I was born in 99 I'm really glad I was able to expirience atleast a fraction of that as a kid. But the thought of it never coming back makes it even more painful. I miss the days when almost nobody was using the internet seriously and you didn't have access to the whole world on your phone in your pocket. It all made sense back then, now everything feels pointless and artificial.

grew up in the mid 90s I am so farr off into the future but I really love the amazing feeling of going back to the past with songs like these. I remember them days when I was just a lil one.. between 5-9 ... When I used to get my ass whooped ! My parents would be mad at each other for some random shit and I was the perfect excuse for them. I am in my 27s now .. haha O'man ! that shit makes me rethink a lot of things. things I would never do to my kids. different mentality, different mindset.

I was born in the 2000s but this mix reminds me of my dad who grew up in the 80s, he would play music like this in the car

This playlist is truly magical, it has a perfect starter song and a beautiful finisher song, it's like you can feel the hope in the last one, it's calm and slow. Perfection.

Synthwave always reminds me of southern CA west coast freeway systems at night. Cruising the PCH, 101, 405, 134, 118, 210, 10, 5 …

This video takes the mesmerizing genre of Synthwave and elevates it to new heights by adding an immersive dose of nostalgia. As the video progresses, the nostalgic elements intensify, immersing viewers in a wave of memories and emotions. The stunning visuals perfectly complement the Synthwave soundtrack, transporting us back to an era defined by neon lights, retro arcade games, and VHS tapes. The skillful editing and seamless transitions create a captivating journey through time, unveiling layers of nostalgia with each passing moment. The carefully selected clips and imagery evoke a sense of longing for the past, triggering memories of classic movies, iconic pop culture references, and the innocence of our youth. It's a true testament to the power of music and visuals in capturing and amplifying our emotions. Whether you grew up during the Synthwave era or not, this video will undoubtedly leave you feeling a bittersweet nostalgia, making it a must-watch for anyone seeking an immersive and evocative experience. So sit back, relax, and let the waves of synths and nostalgia wash over you.
