-----------------------------------------------

Are any of you into Retrowave? Some of you may even ask what Retrowave is! Well, let me take some of you back in time.

Remember those early 80s? All the synth, all the denim, all the neon, and thoughts of riding down the street with Kipp as your car? That's retrowave. It's almost like the 80s visited the late 2010s, and synths are back in style.

Some of it is vocal:






A good amount remains instrumental:






--------------------------------------------

I hope everyone enjoys this emerging genre. It makes me want to break out those denim jackets, fill the pockets of my jeans with quarters, and head to smokey arcades to get the high score in dig dug.

Synth music is always in style.

You’re talking to a techno head, here.

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Young Jedi, I must offer a slight correction.

My 'Car companion would have been K.I.T.T.
The Knight Industries Two Thousand.

Just flying my geek flag tonight.

Not 80's, but obviously made to have that 80's feel. Probably my favorite theme song for any show.

BTW, Season 2 is just as awesome as the first.
