Darksynth

Machine-translated from the French article

Darksynth is a musical subgenre derived from synthwave and metal. The themes addressed by darksynth are heavier, darker and more tragic than synthwave. Darksynth is often inspired by the soundtracks of horror or science fiction films from the 1970s and 1980s, notably by composer/director John Carpenter, but also by the cyberpunk universe, a subgenre of science fiction.
