00:07 If you are hearing this, it's a message from the past and from the future.
00:14 I kind of always played with the thought of making 80s inspired music, but I didn't think anyone would listen to it.
00:23 It's got one foot in the past and it's got one foot in the future as well.
00:27 And if you're somewhere in the middle, that's probably what I'd call synthwave.
00:31 I mean, I only knew like maybe six bands. I didn't think there was going to be, you know, hundreds of other guys in the next few years.
00:38 Human nature. We want something and we want autonomy.
00:42 I just got the feeling that they think it should be like a closed club, that no one else can come and make this stuff.
00:47 That's ridiculous when what we're doing is a homage to the 80s. You ain't inventing this stuff.
00:53 We're hidden. Nobody knows how each other looks like.
00:57 No one has to know who you are. It's people that just want to do this for the sake of doing it and maybe not for reputation.
01:03 I didn't expect synthwave to be as influential on mainstream things as it has been.
01:11 It'll get bigger to the point where it will fall in on itself and it'll be super uncool again.
01:16 But how long do we have? Maybe five, ten years?
01:22 My name is John Carpenter. I'm here to introduce you to a world of an unknown music movement you've probably never heard of.
