Naturally, alongside Kung Fury, neon-pink hats, VHS tinged music videos and weirdly thin cigarettes, there's music. Dubbed retrowave, the genre which harks back to the 80's draws its inspiration from myriad sources. Action movies, old progenitor video games, advertisements and even machine glitches all mix into a brightly green-blue-pink haze. This music is heavily electronic but also decidedly dark,  often utilizing guitar tones and drum arrangements that explain its kinship with metal. Perhaps it's also a shared birthing pool, as metal spawned in the 80's alongside (and sometimes in direct response) to these aural phenomena.
