Paradox Lost
We've all heard this revivalist sound pop up at one time and place or another since, what, 2007? …but I've never quite gotten a handle on what genre of music this is made out to be, exactly:







…what is it that I'm listening to, here? 'Indie Dance?' 'Nu Disco?" 'Neo New Wave?' Yeah, I know it's the musical component to that broader trend of nostalgically repackaging all things 80's, but I'm looking for help with some genre tags, here.

Synth pop, New wave?
Paradox Lost
So this is nothing more nuanced than simply being modern synthpop (and 'modern', as in 'produced this decade').
Sykonee
First one sounds like Depeche Mode. Second one a little like futurepop. Third one... shoegaze-dance? Whatever, it's all essentially still new wave / darkwave / synth-pop. Genre's got enough of a lineage to have modern musicians making the stuff un-ironically.
Paradox Lost
So are we still just talking synthpop, here?
