This all came about as I a habit of just letting youtube do its autoplay thing when listening to music. What came up today brought me back to this documentary about synth pop that hit the UK in the 80s.
The reason why this is important to look back on is all the folks making outrun/synthwave/retrowave music today, from Kavinsky to Lazerhawk to Carpenter Brut and many more. We are starting to see these influences pop up in film, like le matos scoring the indie film Turbo Kid, or Moonbeam City being a show on the television.
This is by no means meant to be extensive, just information on where some of the music people might hear has its roots.
