> Synthwave is the greatest genre of music as far as I'm concerned.

I agree - Synthwave is where my weirdest and most enjoyable music journey began.

If you are a fan of synthwave, you may also enjoy stuff like techno bunker (slightly more minimal). Spotify decided to start lacing playlists with this stuff and my monkey brain got addicted really fast.

Something about the repetitive minimalism of these genres turns me into a coding terminator. I find I forget the music is going after about 5 minutes into the first track. That's not to say this is the only reason I listen to this music, but it's one fun benefit. It's a bit harder for me to concentrate externally when listening to things like trap instrumentals or dubstep (not that these are invalid sub-genres either - I really enjoy them too).

> Hackernews always surprises me, who could believe there are so many synthwave lovers in this forum.

Funny, I always assumed the hn type crowd was the target audience for stuff like synthwave.
