Beep Boop a Doop - It's Synth Pop Week, Motherlover!

Guybrush · 07-05-2010, 02:26 AM

Yep, it's synth pop week. Now, I assume most of you already know very well what synth pop is, but in case you don't I'll just say that it originated in the late 70s and became very popular during the 80s and has been popular now and then since. Let's not complicate things - it's pop music where synthesizers are an essential part of the sound.

Most of us have perhaps an ambivalent relationship with synth-pop because the many slightly embarassing and outdated hits and synth-pop anthems from the 80s are still relatively fresh in memory. This week is the time to come clean with your love!

Since I'm from Norway, I have to use this opportunity to pay a little homage to our own synth pop heroes from A-Ha. "Take on Me" is one of the most popular pop song exports we've ever had.

So now I've shown you mine. Show me yours!
