  1. It's a thing because it is a record label but either you call it Retrowave or New Retrowave, no difference. I see where they come from.
  2. New Retrowave is a sub-genre of Synthwave that mimicks the styles made popular in the original 80s boom period. It has several sub-sub-genres, each focusing on one of those mimicked styles. Sub-sub genres for instance: Dreamwave, Darkwave/Horror or Slasherwave, Outrun, etc etc. Original description: "New Retrowave is a musical genre that harnesses the inspiration and authenticity of 80's and early 90's music for today's generation. Since the EST. on Nov 2011, NewRetroWave has grown and evolved into a prominent online musical force."
  3. Can't believe people still react to that genre like this. New Retrowave is not only the main genre for that music but a music label as well and a movement. Check their youtube channel. It is amazing!
  4. Why use Synthwave design for music which is 0% Synthwave?
  5. If they use the synthwave design that why not experiment with that genre? An acoustic pop song is not compatible with New Retrowave. There are synthwave artists who also incorporate prog rock guitars in songs, one example: Around 2 mins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Juoac-P9iM8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YanwyGP0Li4
  6. 8 acoustic songs? Nooooooooo this is the end
  7. Give me a reason why acoustic guitar is good
  8. I knew it. Damn acoustic guitar ruins everything. It sounds so generic and uninteresting. Acoustic guitars are the worst instruments ever.
  9. The new album will be about The Simulation Hypothesis. I also wrote an album about this topic. Elon Musk also thinks it is more likely we live in a simulation.
  10. What is good about an acoustic song? Never understood the appeal.
  11. Acoustic songs are so freaking boring and plain. Why would anyone want Muse to write songs like that? Just use the electric guitar with amazing effects for Christ sake.
  12. This is what playing the guitar is about sound-wise (and not some boring acoustic strumming sound without any colour): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nurSvF6uz4o
  13. Stop saying I'm a troll. And I meant when a whole song is constructed stripped down with only acoustic, bass and drums. And I'm not moving goal posts either. I just simply don't want Muse to go in that direction where we won't even hear a guitar amplified.
  14. I wouldn't say Nature_01 is a good song. City of Delusion is great but in case you haven't noticed, not only acoustic features in that song. It has colour in overall and not plain boring acoustic strumming sound.
  15. You can play great, these songwriters are good guitar players, no doubt. However, my main problem is with the acoustic sound itself. You cannot really create your own sound. If you experiment with for instance 20 effects at once and you just created a unique sound, that's more like it for me. However, I still like a few acoustic songs but it is extremely rare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INnstYCNIQc
  16. Yeah, you picked the boring ones. Maybe except Mount Eerie. Where is Sun Kil Moon? He's decent. Only Josh Homme can write great music with acoustic guitar like Mosquito Song. But only because he is the God of modern rock music and has the most talent ever. By the way, altough pairing with lyrics, songwriting can be good, all these songs on acoustic still sound the same and I mean the sound which the guitar makes: " transmitting the vibration of the strings to the air".. This freaking simple, strung sound is so boring.... Thank God humans invented how to amplify and add effects in the same time.
  17. Acoustic is terrible. The best way to ruin an electric guitar based song is to do an acoustic version. It's like making that certain song as generic and tedious as possible. When bands do acoustic albums, or unplugged sets, that is the worst possible way to share music with the audience. No uniqueness in sound at all. It just becomes boring and totally uninteresting.
  18. How does an acoustic song sound unique or standout from any other acoustic song? If you could just explain that would be perfect. Play MK Ultra on acoustic and then with Muse's effects added on electric. BOOM! If you settle for acoustic, you are doomed for mediocrity. It's all about effect pedals in music.
