Synth Pop is the genre that blends the catchy hooks of pop music with the futuristic sounds of synthesizers, creating a vibrant and electronic sound. Emerging in the late 1970s and early 80s, it was popularized by bands like Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, and New Order, who brought synth-driven melodies and polished production to the forefront of pop music. Synth pop's infectious energy and modern production techniques have made it a staple of contemporary music. Today, it continues to thrive, with artists like CHVRCHES, Tame Impala, and The Weeknd drawing inspiration from its classic sound and pushing its boundaries.
