bob`s Krishnacore: not often that music and the message of the lyrics are pulling in such different directions. A very surprising style.

This is called Chillwave. It's purposely made so that it sounds like an old cassette synthpop track from the '80s.

^ Well worth clicking on the link for the video pastiche alone, but a pretty restricting musical direction to head in I would`ve thought, Aichuk.

rostasi`s Polkacide band look like they deliver a really fun night out, and reminded me of Nortec Collective, another band who play a hybrid of differing styles convincingly. In this case, it`s electronica and norteño:-

Well, the lyrics and music difference thingy is called lyrical dissonance. Check it out in TV Tropes.

And chillwave might be restrictive, but it's there's this nostalgic joy about it. And if you want to hear more inventive chillwave, listen to Neon Indian.
