Synthwave/vaporwave in pop music
(lemmy.world)
Forza Horizon 5 has a new vaporwave station and whole aspect of the game with 80's cars and neon lit areas and things your avatar can wear. It's definitely getting more mainstream.
Vox did a video about 8 years ago on this happening.
I think pop music frequently pulls from more esoteric influences. It's almost inevitable because the people who produce music are music fans themselves
Wow I'd never heard of seapunk, thanks for the link!
