Synth Pop

Synth-pop, a fusion of synthesizers and pop music, emerged in the late 1970s, defined by its electronic soundscapes and catchy melodies. Characterized by pulsating rhythms, upbeat tempos, and lush synthesizer textures, it gained popularity in the 1980s. Influencing mainstream pop and electronic music, synth-pop artists like Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys shaped its distinctive sound, marking it as a seminal genre in music history.
