alias music Mainstream music must appeal to a lot of people, therefore it can't go too much in a certain direction. there is less experimentation and less decisions from the musician himself. For a lot of people to like it, it needs to be "dumbed down", and follow a certain trend that is hot at that moment. So there is a BIG difference between mainstream and "underground" music, the latter being free from such things, and being more unique because of it

I remember driving alone at night when I first heard this song. It was nearly 11pm, I was driving alone down a mountain pass in the middle of nowhere. I had put the midnight on shuffle to stay awake. I hadn't even seen another car in nearly 30 minutes. I had just cleared the summit when the saxophone riff hit, shivers literally went down my spine. It was one of the most incredible musical moments I've ever experienced. Driving at night to this stuff really does do something to your mind.

This is ridiculously gorgeous.

I'm not sophisticated to appreciate all the nuance and technical skill of synthwave, but I can determine that The Midnight is the most accessible of all the bands I've heard. As well as the strongest sense of melody and song structure. Their genius is that they make their craft seem effortless when it's anything but. The only thing about them that is simple or effortless is how easy it is to love them
