> Speaking of Trance, I thought Trance and Synthwave are same thing. > Maybe it's because of instrument composition or something? (;´Д`) They aren't very similar, beyond involving synthesizers (;^Д^) Trance is a very "euphoria"-driven form of House/Techno-derived club- oriented dance music going back to the 90s. It's uptempo and all about having lengthy breakdowns and buildups, blaring plucky & arpeggiated synths/hypersaws, and is very "hands-in-the-air" Classic examples: youtube.com/watch?v=CC5ca6Hsb2Q youtube.com/watch?v=ET1-6Bef9xU youtube.com/watch?v=Nuh5Sa_GLfA "Synthwave" is a modern internet-derived genre that is designed for listening to (as opposed to dancing to) first and foremost. It's more downtempo and inspired by late 70s and early 80s analog synthesizer- based music - particularly the likes of Synthpop, Italo Disco, and sci- fi soundtracks Reference: 2023/08/07(Mon) 15:01:47
