For reference, I’m not referring to goth rock synthwave but the modern homonymous style like the playlist linked with the post.

what do you like about it?
All genres of music have show-stopping tracks in them. Always be open.
Darksynth is essentially a subgenre of synthwave, it’s generally faster, more bass-heavy, sometimes a little more metal-adjacent.
You can look into Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Glitch Black, Shredder 1984
spacesynth
vapor wave
Not another genre, but you should definitely check out Savlonic if you have not already.
Here’s the opener from their latest.
Also, Lee Ritenour’s Earth Run

Try dark wave. Bands like She Past Away, She Wants Revenge, and Joy Division might be to your liking.
I love it, I posted a playlist in this genre the other day, but I’m specifically talking about the retro-inspired EDM style, not the goth stuff that used to be called synth wave in the 80s (which includes dark wave but also things like Oppenheimer Analysis)
