brings back memories from when life was easy and my parents were still around, playing video games during the holidays til late at night and not having to goto work or school the next day, happy and sad vibes at the same time.
I usually don't comment, but the comments section here made me want to send good vibes. Been feeling unsettled about life. But listening to this mix relaxes me.
“My dear, In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that… In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger - something better, pushing right back. Truly yours, Albert Camus”
You are a beautiful person with a beautiful smile( even if that isn't you in your pic). Helping others whether it be plant, human or animal will keep that smile on your face. God bless you and stay positive 😀
Driving on the freeway at midnight in constant rainfall for one hour, no traffic, and Vaporwave Synthwave mix playing is one of THE best relaxing times of my life. I wish it rained more often here in California.
I never get tired of synthwave, it's truly magical music for me. It makes me homesick for a place I've never been, long for memories I never even made and nostalgic for a time I never lived. Now if that ain't magic, I don't know what is.
I've realized I'm staring at this video for the last 20 minute. I'm fascinated by it, I feel nostalgic, like this place is where I belong and where I have lived in the past, but now I'm lost in some place I don't fit and I have no idea how did I get here. I miss this place. I miss that night. I don't know how, but I just miss it.
It's called longing, and most of us feel it from time to time. I feel it when I see spaceships, because that's where I really want to be. The freedom of pioneering among the stars, of not being trapped on Earth by people too timid to let go of the past and doing everything they can to prevent the future. I want to be free of all that, the wallowing with what came before, the denial of wisdom from the hardship we went through so the guilty can now be innocent and tyranny can be seen as Progress. Just let me fly among the stars and be done with the mundanity of short-sighted minds that still think the 1400s were the best time in human history. There's an entire universe to see, and my only regret is that I will die before it ever happens. I was born too soon.
I remember listening to this playlist when first covid lockdown happened. I was still in college doing my assignments on these songs. Now I’m at university and listening to this beautiful playlist thinking of how easy life was before becoming an adult.
I'm 28 and I wonder where the time went. It's wild bro, hang in there. Stop to look at the scenery sometimes because it's so easy to get lost in the sauce. I wish I could go back to college, I wish I could have my teen years back. lol.
I'm obsessed with this playlist. Literally gives me chills when I listen to it. I've never had music like this connect to me on such a level. Thank you for this. I feel at peace with life.
I love synth wave! This is where we come to break free from the matrix. Where we belong, where we keep our future visions high, and the past memories as lessons. Where we come to dream as the eternal spirits we all are. We all know there’s something bigger and better out there. And we are very grateful to be part of the few aware of it. 😊😌
It's a restless feeling, isn't it? Like we've discovered everything there is to discover here, and we long to explore yet society has us restrained. We have the illusion of freedom, yet are enslaved by a myriad of laws that keep freedom at bay. You want the galaxy, my friend, another world or a new star. It's where we need to be. To have the same freedom again as our ancestors did, only that will cure the feeling we have.
Can't we all just get together and make this future happen already? I'm tired of the older generations dragging their feet. We should be living on Mars by now...
@@TheBeardedFrogSage holy shit wtf, this really makes me speechless, its true that i want a galaxy, a whole new world, a whole new life but i want it all just like in my expectations, i dont like reality but i hope i can make my expectations to become a dreamed reality...
It reminds me of when I lived in seattle Id stay up all night on fridays to go driving at 1 or 2 in the morning running a loop along the 90 405 5 freeways driving in circles pushing my car to the limits when there was no traffic for no other reason to go fast just to feel alive. Looking at the lights in downtown as I drove by. Stopping at the same gas station to get monsters to drink so I didnt fall asleep at the wheel. Sitting in the parking lot by alkai staring at the skyline. Contemplating life. With a phone full of text messages I sent that never got replies and calls that all got sent to voicemail. Always alone. I always did these highway "runs" by myself and the funny part is I was alone but I loved it. I miss driving in circles with no destination just going and only stopping when I got to tired to keep my eyes open. There was no greater feeling than redlining 3rd gear as you come flying down the on ramp to the freeway with the window down and there would be this moment where everything would be so loud around me the sound of the car moving along the pavement the exhaust note screaming right before you hit the rev limiter the wind blowing and just for a second with all this noise everything in my mind went silent and anything I was thinking about was gone and I just stared out as I drove past and saw the sea of lights that made up the city and it was fucking beautiful...
This music connects me to a moment in 2005. I lived in Tampa, Florida at the time. Tampa is located on a peninsula in the middle of a large bay. There are very long bridges spanning across the water connecting to St. Petersburg. I remember, I was driving at night in late February across one of the longer bridges. My windows were down and my sunroof was open. The air was humid but mild almost cool. It swirled through the cabin in constant but gentle gusts. All around me the water was pitch black, with only the occasional buoy or boat light giving the impression of distant stars in the inky darkness. The nothingness stretched in every direction for miles. In front, off in the distance, I could see the lights of the buildings downtown. Behind me I could see the muted glow of the St. Pete suburbs. There were few, if any, other cars on the road with me. But regardless, I felt completely alone. Not lonely, or abandoned, or neglected, but present in the moment with only myself. To say I felt content is an oversimplification. It was fulfillment in idleness, but a yearning for activity. Excitement in existence, yet acceptance of mortality. I no longer remember where I had been that night, or even returning home. I only remember the moment. This music does not remind me of that moment, I could not tell you what if anything I had playing on radio that night. This music returns me to that moment, sailing through the night.
I'd really love to just go out for a drive in the middle of the night just for the hell of it. There's something freeing about feeling the air rush past you, knowing that there's nothing but the open road ahead of you. There are always people awake deep in the night, but we're all isolated from each other, in our own cars or our own homes. We are aware of each other, even if we can't see each other... and there's a sense of quiet camaraderie in that.
I once had a very very strong fever, one song got stuck in my mind after that, it's called Paradise, im not sure who is the author but it is also retrowave
I haven’t honestly felt this stress free in a long time, this one of the best synth mixes I’ve listened to. Sometimes you just need to stop and breathe. Thank you, for this mix.
"Literally anything"... Cyanide here. Also, you should stop saying literally. Semantic satiation is making the word meaningless--not to mention illiterate use.
I cannot tell how times I've just let that initial breeze bay tune hit...sat back...sipped on my single malt and embraced the odd nostalgia of the future. What else can do this to a man?!?
i found these playlists in a dark time, and although i feel like i am late to a party i was never invited to, i got pulled in by the waves of music that make me ache in places i did not know i had. This inspired me to write and to create, and i hope that a fragment of this inspiration is found in my work. thank you.
Acupressure mats are what healed and still healing my internal systems that I was never educated about. Being audhd at 38, and no term for audhd until recently, and no society awareness, I have to unerase myself now apparently
I love when i'm on the edge of my window, watching the city in the night, drinking a cool energy drink, my neon headset on the neck, the retrowave vibes flowing in my ear, and chilling like that for hour... Everytime, i feel so lonely, but incredibly good.
Just grab a spliff and a glass a wine and you won't feel so lonely anymore...You'll realize you already got your best friend there with you; you. Don't let your happiness depend on others.
This mix has pulled me through so many times during most of my teen years. It will always be one of my fav all time chill mixes to vibe too. Thanks asthenic for posting this and to everyone who has given it support over the years. Peace and much love everyone ✌
This is the only playlist that stays open on my chrome, 24/7, walking me through ....both nostalgic and futuristic paths....life is a mystery. a beautiful one.
i've been listening to electric/chillwave/melodlic/synthwave music all my life...strange how youtube comments tend to be peaceful & full of good vibes....where people can drop there guard & be real......you can just go anywhere else on youtube & look at the constant argumentative negative vibes & i know why i LOVE this genre & the type of people who love it too. My type of people who stare at the stars & chat round campfires..
and a drive through New Jersey into Philadelphia and then into Wilmington Delaware at night via freeways and bridges mostly.... late late night... perhaps with a stop at a strange convenience store.
It was in it's infancy then but what Marty said is accurate, the wiki on Synthwave goes into more detail and is an interesting read. I think it's also reasonable to say this genre was influenced at least somewhat by Ambient music dating back to the 60's-70's.
I listened this when it outs - 7 years ago. I was a 23 y.o lone young man who several months ago buys his first car - VW Passat B6. I got several 'more than friends' relationships at this time, zero money (the main reason described in previous sentence), but much of life enjoyment and happiness. 7 years after - I got a good job, good car, my own apartment, perfect wife but 7 years ago I was much happier. Thanks for every your mix. Each of it got some associations with different parts of my life.
Every so often I come back to this mix, on special nights when I have a little time to myself - sometimes just before bed to settle down, sometimes on troubled nights I need to take some space, sometimes a late shift on the job. But every time is precious to me in some way, thanks to this playlist.
my girl and i were the ones on our balcony overlooking denver. she has passed.. now i am alone with this beautiful soundscape. without my queen. i can hear her voice echoing with this anthem. thanks for the memories.
After listening to nearly every single synth mix I can find on YT for the past 5 years or so, I can safely say that this mix is the absolute king. No other mix compares to the energy and relaxation this one gives off.
Glad we can comment here. People say "dont feel alone, we're all here together" which is easy so say, but when you're staring at a screen with nothing but organized pixels its hard to feel. At least there are comments actually here vs being disabled... that always makes a video so much weirder. We're already in a state of such disassociation.. taking away interaction sucks. Im glad for each and every comment, even the shitty ones. They just amplify the good comments. Glad that we can have many differences in opinions but still find unity here. Glad that you share the music, and glad that everyone puts little words underneath to read. Cheers! I guess your mix is doing well because I dont usually go out on long thoughtful comments haha!
Beautiful mix. As an alt rock and metal person, I must say, my impression of DnB music has changed for the better with chillstep, chill-wave and the likes.
Have you guys ever thought about how fast life passes by? One moment I'm in elementary school sitting in time out, now I'm graduated, 20 years old, everyone around my age who i used to see as "the big kids" are here but I'm now one of them... Its like it all ended so quickly and i never appreciated living in the moment. You live your life out, marry someone, have kids, make something of yourself, cause if you don't, all of life will feel like school did. Gone in the blink of an eye.
There is a Japanese term: 'Mono no aware'. It means basically, the sad beauty of seeing time pass - the aching awareness of impermanence. These are the days we will return to in the future, only in memories. How do we capture them? How could we possibly be able to fully appreciate them in the present?
Yup it goes quicker as you get older the word of God says all men are like grass that wiltith in the sun. Life goes on past death dear friend shall I show you the evidence find me at face book David vanscyoc pic of a dog profile pic be blessed
most wholesome, genuine, and dare I say profound comment section I've ever had the pleasure of browsing. Whenever I'm starting to get real stressed or depressed this playlist and comment section are always a nice place to chill. Keep up the good vibes : )
i wish i could describe to you the transcendence this song made me go through on a magical mushroom journey. i hope everyone is especially happy and feeling great.
I went to school in the 80’s. It was as amazing as this music is for the imagination. A wonderful time that has not been matched. People of all types loved sharing good times together. What happened? I’m still hoping the youth can find that type of vibe once again and run with it like wild horses...free yo mind :)
What makes this one of the best mixes I’ve heard on here is how it manages to keep a consistent vibe and atmosphere. Never gets too slow, too fast or repetitive. Great job 💕
Year after year, this is the mix I come back to when I'm working an all nighter trying to get a task done Other mixes get too distracting, or tiring, this one I repeat over and over
And this is the good way to put in ads! They knew that most people would either fall asleep before them or love the music so much they will stay anyway. Thank you so much!
Someday I want to drive on an almost endless highway into the sunset with bright pretty cities around whilst blasting this music in the car. The street lights moving past me in rhythm with the song.
This was the first and will always be my favorite synthwave. Makes me feel like I’m in some Batman beyond/ futuristic world. Thank you for putting this masterpiece together 🦉
And if this music makes u feel like to travel to distant planets or stars. Remember the Theory that we might seeing stars that are long dead ( it means we want to remember our past when we listen this kind of music) Cheers !!!
@@hyliadreamer Yeah, I've already learned enough grammar lessons before to be good at English. This is the internet, there's no point to perfect grammar, as long as people who read my comment understand it.
Always find myself coming back here. After 5 years. It just does something when I’m in that mood at night. Lying in bed awake. Street light coming through the cracks in the blinds, blue shadows on the bedroom walls.
I was thinking something more along the lines of sitting in a penthouse, in a big city looking at the city at night, sipping on a glass of wine holding it through my fingers.... But the country sounds nice.
Mine was It’s raining maybe even storming and I’m drawing chilling in my apartment in Detroit, My plants surrounding me and just wholesome and tech vibes
I love how there’s never any negativity or anyone going back and forth between disrespectful with each other. Love the vibes in synthwave comment sections. Everyone is responding to each other like we’ve been friends for years but never knowing the person at all. It’s dope…Much love to all y’all. Peace&Love to everyone 🫡👊
It's 7pm, im vaping my tasty Sour Mango, i can hear crickets playing outside, window open - And this playlist is playing in background. Purely A E S T H E T I C moment..

@Camokid_ZA
It's so true. I don't think I've ever spent so much time reading comments from these types of videos.
Isn't it strange that music that makes us feel nostalgic for the past also gives illusions of the future?
Dang you're right
Kind of fitting though, too. When the future looks bleak, past visions of the future gain a certain comfort.
@@PsychadelicoDuck True, in a sense :) Futuristic scifi governed a lot of that era, people were more excited about the future than we are now. Now instead we worry.

There are always people awake deep in the night, but we're all isolated from each other, in our own cars or our own homes. We are aware of each other, even if we can't see each other... and there's a sense of quiet camaraderie in that.
I once had a very very strong fever, one song got stuck in my mind after that, it's called Paradise, im not sure who is the author but it is also retrowave
@@Chillaskme voyage - paradise?
What took us so long to realize how wonderful being alive is? It feels so good to use our own imagination to see anything we want in life
Imagination is more important knowledge.
I don't know why but I find these animations have so much more soul than most common animations.
I haven’t honestly felt this stress free in a long time, this one of the best synth mixes I’ve listened to. Sometimes you just need to stop and breathe. Thank you, for this mix.
Well-put. Cheers!
Same here my friend
Nothing like sitting down in your chair with a glass of literally anything and jamming to some synthwave
doing that riiight now :)
glass of a p p l e j u i c e
"Literally anything"... Cyanide here. Also, you should stop saying literally. Semantic satiation is making the word meaningless--not to mention illiterate use.
I cannot tell how times I've just let that initial breeze bay tune hit...sat back...sipped on my single malt and embraced the odd nostalgia of the future.
What else can do this to a man?!?
Maybe one day we’ll all live the lives we deserve.
you just gained that scene in an anime while they're gazing to the night sky upon a sad city...
Can't sleep it's 1 am and this pops up in my recommended. Damn I love the internet.
It's beautiful, perfect for thinking, motivation or nostalgic feelings.
it's usually 4 am when I start to panic about not sleeping. 1 am is too early, man.
Sitting around a fire on this autumn night, and gazing at the stars with Asthenic’s brilliant compilations playing really eases the mind.
i found these playlists in a dark time, and although i feel like i am late to a party i was never invited to, i got pulled in by the waves of music that make me ache in places i did not know i had. This inspired me to write and to create, and i hope that a fragment of this inspiration is found in my work. thank you.
Same pretty much, though it feels like those days have come back again. Pain never ceases to end
Acupressure mats are what healed and still healing my internal systems that I was never educated about. Being audhd at 38, and no term for audhd until recently, and no society awareness, I have to unerase myself now apparently
I love when i'm on the edge of my window, watching the city in the night, drinking a cool energy drink, my neon headset on the neck, the retrowave vibes flowing in my ear, and chilling like that for hour... Everytime, i feel so lonely, but incredibly good.
RedCat-Smith sounds comfy mate
Just grab a spliff and a glass a wine and you won't feel so lonely anymore...You'll realize you already got your best friend there with you; you. Don't let your happiness depend on others.
thats the poison you're drinking.... you're dying, thats why you feel that way hipster.....haha
I listen to this everyday as I write my second cyberpunk fantasy novel.
See you in year 2077 :/
Just googled it and found it! I'm gonna get it!
wow!
Nice, I should listen to this while i am making a side-scroller with a Ratchet & Clank vibe to it.
Good luck! Who here can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077? LOL.
This mix has pulled me through so many times during most of my teen years. It will always be one of my fav all time chill mixes to vibe too. Thanks asthenic for posting this and to everyone who has given it support over the years. Peace and much love everyone ✌
“Hey dude, why is that ship going in circles for almost an hour?”
“Idk man, why are we standing in this balcony for almost an hour?”
I'm just waiting for the taco truck to arrive...
Lol!
"Truck"? Yeah, Charlotte you're gonna be waiting NEGATIVE years for that...
hey dude why you are you watching the ship go in circles for almost an hour?
are we in a simulation?
''DUDE...you need to stop your family's worried...''
Sitting in my car at night on the Autobahn - these vibes feels like heaven - I wish I could drive forever...
This Playlist has meant so much to me for so many years now. This is golden curation
This is one of the greatest mixes I've found in all my years of TH-cam. Thank you.
Agreed!
This playlist brings me joy. I remember telling my fiancé about it last year and now my wife loves it so much. ❤
Still one of the best mixes, 6 years later. I keep coming back to this one.
Synthwave. A style of music that somehow makes you feel nostalgic for the future.
This animation and playlist is absolute top tier. I come here several times a month, every year.
Same, been coming here since 2019, always a mood ✨😌
This music plays in my own little space of sunkissed paradise within my head, where time stops so you can view the beauty around you.
One of the best mixes I've heard - keeps a coherent atmosphere the whole time through. Good stuff!
no it doesnt... but there are some good bits in there
This mix was my intro to synth wave and I keep coming back whenever I need grounding.
This is the only playlist that stays open on my chrome, 24/7, walking me through ....both nostalgic and futuristic paths....life is a mystery. a beautiful one.
i've been listening to electric/chillwave/melodlic/synthwave music all my life...strange how youtube comments tend to be peaceful & full of good vibes....where people can drop there guard & be real......you can just go anywhere else on youtube & look at the constant argumentative negative vibes & i know why i LOVE this genre & the type of people who love it too. My type of people who stare at the stars & chat round campfires..
Some one commented earlier and I want to reiterate. It's true synthwave peeps are very chill and positive. Great music to share with great people.
So glad I found this again. Haven't listened to this mix in like 5 years
My friend, your mix reaches me here in South Africa. I guarantee you, anyone who smokes cannabis and listens to this.... *Breathes in* Beautiful..
Fuck you. Jesus. Drugs are bad for you dumbass
a couple bowls and this mix go hand and hand :)
and a drive through New Jersey into Philadelphia and then into Wilmington Delaware at night via freeways and bridges mostly.... late late night... perhaps with a stop at a strange convenience store.
@@bjently what a good way to ruin the mood
@Manuscripter Hahaha totally agree mate! Cheers from Brazil!
The irony being that nobody actually listened to music like this in the 80s.
temporaryscars No, it was only background or theme music on TV and in movies.
It was in it's infancy then but what Marty said is accurate, the wiki on Synthwave goes into more detail and is an interesting read. I think it's also reasonable to say this genre was influenced at least somewhat by Ambient music dating back to the 60's-70's.
Yes we did. Just check any Kenny Loggins or Giorgio Moroder soundtrack.
I listened this when it outs - 7 years ago. I was a 23 y.o lone young man who several months ago buys his first car - VW Passat B6. I got several 'more than friends' relationships at this time, zero money (the main reason described in previous sentence), but much of life enjoyment and happiness. 7 years after - I got a good job, good car, my own apartment, perfect wife but 7 years ago I was much happier.
Thanks for every your mix. Each of it got some associations with different parts of my life.
Every so often I come back to this mix, on special nights when I have a little time to myself - sometimes just before bed to settle down, sometimes on troubled nights I need to take some space, sometimes a late shift on the job. But every time is precious to me in some way, thanks to this playlist.
I've grown a love for this genre from the intense but comforting nostalgia the tunes evoke. So good.
my girl and i were the ones on our balcony overlooking denver. she has passed.. now i am alone with this beautiful soundscape. without my queen. i can hear her voice echoing with this anthem. thanks for the memories.
After listening to nearly every single synth mix I can find on YT for the past 5 years or so, I can safely say that this mix is the absolute king. No other mix compares to the energy and relaxation this one gives off.
I too am standing on my balcony overlooking the city while drinking a beer and listening to this track.
I drank a shot to your comment.
Mr. H you must do it
Elicia Vanscyoc Cheers!
Your playlist genuinely evokes nostalgic memories from days gone by. 🎵💖
Had this playlist on as my friends and I enjoyed the sunset and drank beers, thanks for this...
Glad we can comment here. People say "dont feel alone, we're all here together" which is easy so say, but when you're staring at a screen with nothing but organized pixels its hard to feel. At least there are comments actually here vs being disabled... that always makes a video so much weirder. We're already in a state of such disassociation.. taking away interaction sucks. Im glad for each and every comment, even the shitty ones. They just amplify the good comments. Glad that we can have many differences in opinions but still find unity here. Glad that you share the music, and glad that everyone puts little words underneath to read. Cheers! I guess your mix is doing well because I dont usually go out on long thoughtful comments haha!
thanks bro
during corona...
Beautiful mix. As an alt rock and metal person, I must say, my impression of DnB music has changed for the better with chillstep, chill-wave and the likes.
Have you guys ever thought about how fast life passes by? One moment I'm in elementary school sitting in time out, now I'm graduated, 20 years old, everyone around my age who i used to see as "the big kids" are here but I'm now one of them... Its like it all ended so quickly and i never appreciated living in the moment. You live your life out, marry someone, have kids, make something of yourself, cause if you don't, all of life will feel like school did. Gone in the blink of an eye.
Have kids is not a must, marry isnt it too, so its posible to live happy.
There is a Japanese term: 'Mono no aware'. It means basically, the sad beauty of seeing time pass - the aching awareness of impermanence. These are the days we will return to in the future, only in memories. How do we capture them? How could we possibly be able to fully appreciate them in the present?
Yup it goes quicker as you get older the word of God says all men are like grass that wiltith in the sun. Life goes on past death dear friend shall I show you the evidence find me at face book David vanscyoc pic of a dog profile pic be blessed
Practice being mindful of the moment.

You guys are all spectacular. That is all.
Love this xxx
I always say if someone describes someone as an adjective (good or bad) then the person who said it is the same. So you are also spectacular.
Likewise my friend, likewise.
no u
r spectacular
that is all.
Be well humans.
most wholesome, genuine, and dare I say profound comment section I've ever had the pleasure of browsing. Whenever I'm starting to get real stressed or depressed this playlist and comment section are always a nice place to chill. Keep up the good vibes : )
i wish i could describe to you the transcendence this song made me go through on a magical mushroom journey. i hope everyone is especially happy and feeling great.
2017 was one magical year for me and it is by far one of the greatest years I have ever lived in my life.
I NEED to find more music like L.D.C.N - Looking Back Once More .
It is PERFECT to fall asleep to and it keeps you asleep!!!!
Its 4 am and this is absolutely perfect. Thank you.
20mins left!
;p
not healthy staying up that late my guy
Turbo Yess health what's that
@@hizkias2679 😂
comming back to this mix after years.. still one of my favorites 🙏
I went to school in the 80’s. It was as amazing as this music is for the imagination. A wonderful time that has not been matched. People of all types loved sharing good times together. What happened? I’m still hoping the youth can find that type of vibe once again and run with it like wild horses...free yo mind :)
I'm currently in it but, I think I lost it
What makes this one of the best mixes I’ve heard on here is how it manages to keep a consistent vibe and atmosphere. Never gets too slow, too fast or repetitive. Great job 💕
Come home everyday from work and vibe till I fall asleep. Thank so much it's really been a great help
Year after year, this is the mix I come back to when I'm working an all nighter trying to get a task done
Other mixes get too distracting, or tiring, this one I repeat over and over
Because somtimes you just get the idea of what sucsses is, and then one day you don't have to worry or sell a single thing!
We all come back. Even if we don’t say it. This is it. This is here.
This song made me feel like i could breathe. It made me feel like I was in the year 3000 but I was nostalgic about the 80s
Decent music for the onrushing Roaring 2020's
We're all gonna die, FUCK YEAH
Enjoy your pneumonia
you have to go back
Well this aged worse than milk.
Arigato Cat recent earthquake in Southern California lol.
And this is the good way to put in ads! They knew that most people would either fall asleep before them or love the music so much they will stay anyway. Thank you so much!
I got hit with an ad for Cyberpunk 2077 when I played this vid..........they know us all too well, don't they? xD
I want that game soo bad rn
Google tunes ads to your interests based on what you search. Why don't you use adblock also?
Getting an ad for a cyber punk game while listening to synthwave is the most cyber punk thing to happen so far.
Great music for the world of Cyberpunk 2077
No matter how many times this mix gets deleted, someone always pulls through and manages to re-upload it 😏
Thanks for putting together this playlist and making all these mixes! They've been a loving companion for all these past years. Just love it.
Someday I want to drive on an almost endless highway into the sunset with bright pretty cities around whilst blasting this music in the car. The street lights moving past me in rhythm with the song.
am just about to get my own car soon, it'll probably be an older corolla, see you on the other side of the sunset.
This was the first and will always be my favorite synthwave. Makes me feel like I’m in some Batman beyond/ futuristic world. Thank you for putting this masterpiece together 🦉
bruh, home kills me, takes me back to this nostalgic moment in life that I have never lived.
when I listen to this in the MIDI of the night , it takes me back to a sampler time .
A simpler time where our goals were clear and our desires were not bogged down by issues long dead that somehow revived and stole our focus?
@@intro5pector300 😆😁😃
I can't believe that it's been 3 years since I left this comment.
Still listening to this jam .
Man, I hope we get to this point in the future and most music is retrowave, synthwave, etc. I also hope there will be alot if neon lights.
Hey Derek, there will be lots of neon lights
Past is the foundation of future
No matter it was bad or good , it will shape your future.
And if this music makes u feel like to travel to distant planets or stars.
Remember the Theory that we might seeing stars that are long dead ( it means we want to remember our past when we listen this kind of music)
Cheers !!!
I hope you learn that "a lot" consists of TWO words.
@@hyliadreamer Yeah, I've already learned enough grammar lessons before to be good at English. This is the internet, there's no point to perfect grammar, as long as people who read my comment understand it.
Always find myself coming back here. After 5 years. It just does something when I’m in that mood at night. Lying in bed awake. Street light coming through the cracks in the blinds, blue shadows on the bedroom walls.
Why do all these songs make me feel like I'm driving through the country at night...?
I was thinking something more along the lines of sitting in a penthouse, in a big city looking at the city at night, sipping on a glass of wine holding it through my fingers.... But the country sounds nice.
Mine was
It’s raining maybe even storming and I’m drawing chilling in my apartment in Detroit, My plants surrounding me and just wholesome and tech vibes
More like driving in a high way under the skyscrapers at night, in a big city
Because you might have already seen these neons somewhear late at night.
You need here
I call this playlist "Home". It makes me feel safe and secure.
It's 23:05 in the night time and I really recommend this beautiful playlist in an way to relax and quietly and peacefully go to sleep.
Out of all the Synthwave playlist I have saved, this has become my favorite over the past week. Thank you and keep the light on.
We're not here for a long time, were here for a good time!
I love how there’s never any negativity or anyone going back and forth between disrespectful with each other. Love the vibes in synthwave comment sections. Everyone is responding to each other like we’ve been friends for years but never knowing the person at all. It’s dope…Much love to all y’all. Peace&Love to everyone 🫡👊
This channel rules. I hope it goes on.
bait
i was the 70th like. i'm sorry i ruined it.
Dennzer1 hey I'm a less extreme version of you!
not left or anarchist enough smh
Good political compass bro, pretty more capitalism and you're perfect
It's 7pm, im vaping my tasty Sour Mango, i can hear crickets playing outside, window open - And this playlist is playing in background. Purely A E S T H E T I C moment..
I don't know about anyone else, but this gives me a calming peace, yet a deep longing at the same time. Just kinda hits home
My cat seems to really like this playlist. He placed his big head on my phone while it was playing lol
Synthwave is calmingly positive.
Driving to this makes me appreciate the clouds and trees more
This music make us go to that time that doesnt have space, dimenson or galaxy...
