For reference, I’m not referring to goth rock synthwave but the modern homonymous style like the playlist linked with the post.
(originally posted on the AskLemmy community from Lemmy.ml)
Darksynth is essentially a subgenre of synthwave, it’s generally faster, more bass-heavy, sometimes a little more metal-adjacent.
You can look into Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Glitch Black, Shredder 1984
Argent metal (essentially the OST of DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal)
berlin school
Try dark wave. Bands like She Past Away, She Wants Revenge, and Joy Division might be to your liking.
I love it, I posted a playlist in this genre the other day, but I’m specifically talking about the retro-inspired EDM style, not the goth stuff that used to be called synth wave in the 80s (which includes dark wave but also things like Oppenheimer Analysis)
Tracker?
