I love this genre of electronic music because it reminds me of my childhood. Here are the memories that come flooding back when I listen to new retro wave

-Renting wrestlemania VHS tapes from the video store
-Poking a dead body with a stick in the forest near my house
-Pissing on the flowers outside the church next to school
-Saying my first swear in the boys restroom (it was poo poo)
-Calling my dad a homo and not knowing what it meant
-Bashing a dead rat with a brick to see what would come out of it
-Playing Excite Bike

How have I not heard this before? I love MN84

also I think Mitch Murder is the king of this genre. This is my favourite song of his (Night train)

I think a genre is justified by the music in it that i like. i couldn't care less about amateurs making sup par records no matter how many of them there are and fretting about them seems kind of dumb imo.

All the better ideas from sci-fi that have already been effectively mined by other space games of different genres and especially that Chris Roberts space game that won't ever come out and looks like vaporware scam trash to sucker nerds like us

Not even the ideas for that game look all that interesting. Maybe I just haven't seen enough but it pretty much just looks like a dogfighting game with spatial continuity between walking around the hanger, boarding your ship and shooting dudes in space.

by the way, for the poster on the previous page who complained about there being no singing in this genre, you should check out Le Cassette

Something I wanted to ask: what did you all think of Hotline Miami? I think it fits into this movement pretty well but i didn't like that the portrait art was done in that deliberately crude "DIY" style that seems to be common in indie games. I think the feel of the game was diminished a little by trying to reconcile that with the neon palette and synth music that game was using to try and evoke the 80s. It would be better if the portrait art was a little crisper with more contrast and dramatic shading. That said, the soundtrack was totally amazing. I loved almost every song but Miami Disco was easily the best

Goddamnit why did I have to read this poo poo :negative:

Who knows maybe that was written in a deliberately macho, over the top way to reflect the tone of the movie.

maybe?

Also I've seen it and it is incredible.

Also thanks to this thread for introducing me to Dance with the Dead. I've been listening to Robeast constantly.

Also, on Lazerhawk's music, I think the singing in some of them really throws them off (Mainly Dream Machine), I think they'd be better as instrumentals.

I agree. I think their album Visitors was all instrumental aside from audio samples of people talking. One of my favourite albums of the last couple of years.

You had all better be listening to Betamaxx. I think I posted some of his stuff earlier. He's one of the best in the genre in my opinion.
