Could someone (michaell or rtil) explain the appeal of neo-synthpop to me? I just feel like I'm missing something every time I listen to it.

Nona Reeves "ENJOYEE! YOUR LIFETIME"

I can't stop listening/dancing to this, especially that synthline at 32~. How did the thread of weeb die already? Regardless, thank you for getting me into this band, zwimmycakes.

Also not really feeling that new Danger EP. I think his music was cinematic enough when he made 09/14 2007. Now  just sounds like it belongs in an overblown James Cameron or Chris Nolan movie.

i don't know what neo synthpop is

if it's the video he just posted, i don't know. if you don't like it there's nothing i can do for you. different tastes are different

[Bamyasi]

I was just trying to start a discussion geez rtil don't have a cat sister. Usually stuff will grow on me if someone explains what they like about it (this is why I read music criticism, because I am a mindless drone).

In my humble drone opinion, the picopop producers have been doing much more interesting things with digital instruments for the last decade or so. I don't have anything against the 80s/synthpop revival, I just wish there was some western equivalent to this aside from chiptunes. I just find most of our independently produced pop boring but that's just me.

Dormir - Une mage blanche
Also Ami's Lounge literally just got deleted from jewtube. That's like the fifth shibuya-kei/picopop channel to bite the dust. Fuck, I learned about so much great stuff from them.
