Synthpop is a subgenre of pop music that emerged in the late 1970s and reached its peak in the 1980s. It is characterized by the use of synthesizers, drum machines, and other electronic instruments to create catchy melodies and danceable beats. The lyrics often deal with themes of love, relationships, and personal struggles. Synthpop bands typically feature a lead vocalist and a keyboardist or two, with occasional guitar or bass accompaniment. The genre is known for its upbeat and energetic sound, and has produced many memorable hits that continue to be popular today.
