Prime Thanatos springs to mind, especially where I appear on a couple of his compilations :D And The uptick in film and game media adopting synthwave aesthetics, or in some cases being just outright synthwave/outrun/retro-futurist has de...Tue, 01 Nov 2022 20:24:27 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=327544https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=327544Yeah it did! Before that I feel like their wasn't a whole lot outside of a few other exceptions. I feel like I first got a very small taste of the sort of synthwave aesthetic from grand theft auto vice city and movies like blade runner.
