Megahit @megahit.hu · 30/09/2026Ah yes the mandatory <successful and popular artist> rant is just an essential part of the scene. 110

Megahit @megahit.hu · 28/09/2026During the years I learned the patterns of automated messages, and if it fits, I ignore it. Otherwise I reply to everything. 110
Megahit @megahit.hu · 28/09/2026Yup, the genre is one of the biggest victims of gen AI slop, due to it being trained with the most simple and fixed format that is super easy to reproduce. Literally every AI generated synthwave song is just a cheap Timecop1983 knockoff. 030
Megahit @megahit.hu · 28/09/2026It's like you can start a rock band and use corpse paint as your image but you'll never be as successful as KISS. Of course, you can decide you deliberately want to aim for the most basic audience as a common denominator, but be prepared you're gonna have a hard time. And don't whine when you do. 010
Megahit @megahit.hu · 28/09/2026Face it: laser grids and striped sunsets are not interesting anymore. They were claimed by artists 10 years ago. If you want to use the yellow-red striped sun in your artwork you have to compete with FM-84 and Gunship, which is a lost battle from the start. Bring original ideas to the damn table. 110
Megahit @megahit.hu · 28/09/2026A side track of thought, there is a huge false sense of entitlement among newcomer "producers" who whip up some super generic track and then expect immediate success. These people don't do jackshit for the innovation of the genre, they just dilute the market to the extremes. 131
Megahit @megahit.hu · 28/09/2026If you are 24/7 active in social media, gather a following for your own persona, you can easily get away with super generic crappy music. But if you stay in the shadows and just output your end products, no matter how good it is, noone will notice it. This worked in 2016, but today it's impossible. 130
Megahit @megahit.hu · 28/09/2026And if you are not performing as a band format (or not performing at all), it's incredibly hard to get people to follow you - and your music. My experience is people are no longer interested in stuff that can't be connected to some witty, good looking, positive, likeable real human character. 130
Megahit @megahit.hu · 28/09/2026Hard to swallow pill: the biggest problem with the "synthwave scene" is that it has more producers than fans. The vast majority of consumers are not in it for the music and the persons themselves - they are in it for the vibe and the aesthetic. Very few artists have actual _fans_. 462

Megahit @megahit.hu · 23/09/2026This Friday we're paying tribute to the 15th anniversary of Drive, and remember our fallen hero Kavinsky at Dürer Kert. After the public showing of the movie, we'll play pure synthwave all night long - with lots of Kavinsky stuff. Be there. Free entry! 010

Megahit @megahit.hu · 29/04/2026I finished writing the next album 😎🥳 That means I have the songs written. Post-processing, fine tuning, sugar n spice, and studio work is yet to be done. Also finalizing the title and coming up with a cover artwork. At least the writing is done, and I'm happy with the result. This is gonna hit hard. 010

Megahit @megahit.hu · 04/03/2026Animation can be simplified by drawing the frames with simple shapes and then pixelating them. Or rig your character or interactable objects using low poly models. They can turn out very nice. Miziziziz had a pretty good video on such graphics: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgJB...youtube.comIndie Game Art: Style By NecessityYouTube video by Miziziziz 130
Megahit @megahit.hu · 02/03/2026"Synthwave is dead, because no new artists established themselves in the past 5 years" "Synthwave is not dead, because I saw 60 people at a pub watching a stage performance by a medium-tier artist" Come on people, it's a LOT more complex than that. 000
