Synthpop

Synthpop or synth-pop is a musical style in which synthesizers and electronic drums dominate. ==Genesis[ Edit] == The style emerged during the late 1970s, new wave in Britain, where the flow, more on the hit parade-oriented bands, went through life as ' New Romantic '. Most bands are influenced by artists such as Kraftwerk, David Bowie and Roxy Music. The "pop"-feeling is very important in this music. Good melodic and breezy songs with good vocal lines, but the starting point remains that should the electronic and synthesizer-dominated, although the use of guitar (sporadically) sometimes occurs.

The genre is now pretty much just popular in the gothic-subculture, although the current bands in terms of sound not far have strayed from the sound that especiallyDepeche Mode has put down. Synthpop is very popular in Scandinavia where bands in this genre often pick up the charts, and in Germany and France. The song structures of the synthpop were also at the base of thefuturepop what a cross between trance , EBMand synthpop. ==Main bands[ Edit] == ==Current followers[ Edit] ==
