“Thanks for the future” actually says it best - music and visuals that take you to incredible worlds, millennia from now and lightyears from Earth - plus some of the most positive, troll-free comment threads on RU-vid. Awesome genre, awesome channel, awesome Asthenic!
you really choose the best songs for your mixes. maybe that's why you release so sparingly because it takes you such a long time to find songs you deem good enough for this channel. If so I'm glad it's that way, because I am never disappointed with your uploads. Many thanks
@@Asthenic I totally agree about the great choice of tunes and tasteful compiling it into an ALBUM / playlist, HOWEVER - why do You (+other people here) call it a MIX? I understand it is a mix of different tunes and artists but this has nothing to do with a MIX - it is not mixed into one set (i.e. DJ mix with matched BPM or just simple fades). As much as I enjoy the selection of music, I'm against using a MIX word in titles by someone who has not mixed this music.
Asthenicalways picks a mix of songs that flow together so well. Even though though its other artists stuff, the songs are picked and placed in such a way that they compliment and make each other better. It's like a big album drop every time this champ uploads. Gold standard of synthwave mixes
Look at all those lit up rooms and cars driving by. Now pick one. That’s you. Very small and little. But the universe is made of us and we are made of the universe. Not so little now, huh? Blessings 🌜✨💫🤍
it was this kind of music that inspired me to grab a few friends and go drive at night with this playing, granted its in my car lol but we all pitch in a bit. theres not too many cities like that over here so I just drive the freeways and try to find late night places to eat. i usually invite whoever's down, its a chill time, you should try it :)
There's just something inside of me that just loves this music. It seems to bring a peace, a calm, a wave of chill, yes, but something more. It's like bringing me back to something familiar. I mean yes I was around in the 80s but I had never intentionally heard this stuff until recently. Its pulling on some soul strings. Very cool. Thank you!
I love putting on your mixes while coding in a neon-color-themed editor. I'm programming computer simulations of moons in the outer solar system for my PhD. It all just fits together so well.
The most strong feeling about this genre is how it can bring you this kind of nostalgia for an era, nostalgia for an era you never existed. And that’s how it shows you how good the past was.. and how the past can become you present once again.
Anemoia: Nostalgia for a time you've never known. A feeling that digs deep into the listener's mind to forge memories of which we've never experienced. Truly a wonderful feeling.
Having been a teen in the 80's, this is a nostalgic ride for me. Thanks for transporting me back to a much simpler time and propelling into the future.
I see that sunset, I do. Burning through the haze of the Bangkok sky before me. Look down and there are nothing but slanting corrugated roofs. Look up and the towers rise high above low lives. A thousand airport warning lights blink like ruby stars. The skytrain runs by. A kohl calls out like a car alarm. Cars coagulate at the intersection. Hundreds of 150cc riders gang up like white blood cells and cut through the clot. I am seeing what so many of you are dreaming of. The past. That 80s arcade. The movies flowing on the synth wave. The "aesthetic". I myself came back to Bangkok after a year-plus in Washington DC turned the burden of my own cyberpunk memories into something unbearable. How could I trade the circus for the mausoleum of crumbling empire? No, I was addicted to those nights, fueled by aesthetic mixes on motorbikes. And in a DC basement I was fading without the phase change octane running through my veins. So I got on a plane. And here I am. And DC memories are already starting to seep in. And New Delhi ones before that. And Moscow, Kazakhstan, Ireland... And somewhere beneath it all is the nowhere country road I called home in nowhere Tennessee. And that place is empty now. The only thing it houses are my dreams (and nightmares), reoccurring fractally. Have I ever ridden a Bangkok motorbike as pink neon hummed above the canals and girls loitered outside of back alley karaoke bars waiting to get paid? Did I ever stare up at a silver moon with love wrapped in a child's arms thinking I would never see the end of days? Or have I been in the dark country hole with rotting floor boards waiting to deliver me to the bottom of the bottom, spectral song singing my nightmares forever? Going back, we all want to go back. To what? To where? What if we have been there forever and ever (and ever)? What can I say after so many laps around the world when I'm finally starting to see my days of youth fade? What is my message to those fetishizing "nostalgia", "anemoia", "saudade" and Hiaraeth? Well, assuming any of this is real, and perhaps more so if it's not, I've learned this: There has never been anything in any human life but a moment. The spirit of the times changes, attitudes change, technologies change, social conditions improve or deteriorate, but as a person, you were simply there (and are here) in a moment. No one living "then" or "there" was felling what you feel now, nor what you imagined they must have been feeling. This nostalgia craze on the internet is a trap. It's festishized longing. Here is the truth about life: You don't know what parts of your life will feel valuable until after the fact (most of the time). But I can say this -- the only valuable moments come from engagement. The parts of your own life you will look back on and feel about what you feel about this video now will be generated through engagement with people and the world. And engagement grows with attention. If you want to be more deeply engaged, then you will have to spend your time (as much as work/school allows) not engaging the world via the medium of technology, but directly, as a human being. And you will have to accept that that engagement comes with some boredom and tedium that you cannot merely escape through RU-vid. Why do Eskimos have so many words for snow while you might only have one: Their full attention has been brought to it. Your full attention is the only thing that can unlock the mystery of the world. But you will also have to suffer to give the world that attention. The problem with this age is we have found a way to eliminate that suffering through social media. What we lost was depth. But it's all perception. The depth is available to you. But you'll have to put the phone down and ... suffer. Suffer and live. And somewhere in the middle, joy will come. So please, please, please, look straight ahead, and enjoy the ride. Oh, and Merry Christmas...
If you guys didn't fuck up my plan, we would all be living in the era this music would be home to. But now I gotta wipe out civilization and rebuild because you weren't grateful and tried to kill me.
you can drive on the empty neon highway that connects the earth to the moon while listening to this music all the time You can choose one car: - time machine DeLorean DMC 12 (the exact one they used in back to the future) - Ferrari F40 - Lamborghini Countach 5000
