Ultimately, I can hear the Numan sound coming together. I have little context for what was out around this time, but it sounds unique in itself.

Normally Poppy does metal but her new song "crystallized" is pure synthpop, watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5hnR6XJYaA

Now my question.. any songs from other artists very similar to this you can recommend? Doesn't matter old or new. Wanna build a playlist of songs like this.

Also, any idea where the above song took inspiration from as it reminds me alot of a song i heard long time ago.

Final question.. do most consider the above synthpop or what else would you call it.

Either way, am mainly looking for more songs very similar to the above. Thanks!

Growing up with tracks like "Flash in the Night," I must say I felt it sounded very unique. Kraftwerk's "The Model" was an other-worldly experience for me, tied to a personal period of grief (instrumental-wise, its melancholic undertones always take me back to those days). When I think of Synthpop, names like Kraftwerk, Secret Service, Visage, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Bronski Beat, and New Order come to mind.

That said, do you think Synthpop tends to fly under the radar compared to other genres? Has it been integrated into so many other genres that it now feels more like a nostalgic style from the ‘70s/‘80s rather than one with its own identity today? It seems like it hasn’t quite secured a lasting place in the mainstream on its own.

What do you think about the Synthpop shared here in the sub? Does it match or differ from your idea of Synthpop? This brings me to asking what more (or less) you’d appreciate coming across in the sub.

The electronics behind music production intrigue me. If there’s certain stuff you’ve been hesitant to post because it feels too niche or too good to be true, please don’t hold back! We could definitely use threads for deeper discussions.

How do you experience Synthpop, and what does it mean to you? Would love to hear everyone’s perspective!

very new to this genre of music and from the little i've heard boy harsher are my favorites.
