80s Synth Pop

[Hotora86]

@BisexualMMA recently point this song out to me from the Manhunter soundtrack. I confess, it's been stuck in my head for days now.

Apparently it was also used in Miami Vice. Anyone else heard it?

Let's build an 80s Synth Pop thread, full of nothing but the coolest 80s songs from the genre.

Here's my contribution:

Just gonna leave this here...

Lee Jang Ho's film "Declaration of Fools" (South Korea, 1983) sampled an instrumental version of Johnny and Mary that was a breakout sound for Korean audiences for its time

It literally blew everyone's f*cking minds and freaked Korean audiences out because it sounded exactly like sped-up versions of Korean karaoke staples, but coming from Americans who had never heard a single korean song

US (and to a lesser extent Russian) 80's synth pop was a ridiculously huge influence on South Korean comedy/romance film scores in the 90s and still shows traces of its subdivision of rhythms in K-pop everywhere

Generation-defining films like Waikiki Brothers (2001) and Sex Is Zero (2002) are stuffed to the gills with 80s synth-obsessed nostalgia
