synth genres in kpop 

you're not the only one me too

many synth pop songs draw on the nostalgic-synthetic feel of the 1980s, with the synth keyboard instrument or MIDI instruments that simulate synths being crucial elements. i agree with your point that pursuing that particular vibe can lean towards synthwave, as there is often a blending of new wave and synth pop within the kpop genre, which can lead to confusion, particularly in the western world. though some may mistakenly believe new wave and synth pop are interchangeable, it is actually quite simple to distinguish between the two. synthwave in kpop tends to have more direct ties to the 80s, while synth pop in kpop has a more contemporary and genuine sound. this distinction is due to kpop's long-standing inspiration from synth pop, resulting in a unique and distinct sound.

Me too 😂
