I'm still a pleb and I'm not even sure what separates cold wave, dark wave, minimal wave, and whatever wave but...

Synth pop is pretty foundational for me since I grew up liking stuff like the Art of Noise, Depeche Mode, Devo, and all those 80s synthpop one or two hit wonders. Likewise I loved the whole early 00s electroclash thing and a lot of the people keeping synthpop alive since. If there’s one criticism I have of the genre, it’s probably the fact that the artists seem to have trouble sustaining the quality for the length of an entire album and are better enjoyed on a song by song basis.
