For those of you who were either born or grew up in the 80's, you're probably more familiar with this type of instrument used in the songs you've listened to, called a synthesizer. It sounds something like this:
Although it was also used during the 70's, the instrument was what gave the 80's an identity, much like how certain music genres give a decade an identity (Ex: Jazz in roaring 20's, Rock in the groovy 60's, etc.). The instrument is also great for making love songs. For someone born in the 90's, I have a great liking for hearing 80's synthesizers. Nowadays, this instrument is rarely used in modern music, which baffles me, because in every music genre, despite the existence of newer models, the older models are still used in modern music. I wish to see a revival - not because today's music is bad, but it's more upbeat and you're more likely to get a song stuck in your head if an 80's synthesizer was included, considering that disco music got a recent revival with the song Uptown Funk. The most recent use of the 80's synthesizer was from Kung Fury, but I wish to see it used again in mainstream music, so I hope that one day see a modern pop song using an 80's synthesizer. Share me your thoughts on 70's/80's synth music?
