Here we have a list of some external links to some great pages and channels that are a big part to the synthwave community. Much of this is still in the process of updating so in the future more will be added. If there are some we do not have listed or some you would like us to include here, please let us know so that we may update this page.

Neon Dystopia
Neon Dystopia was created in November 2014 with the idea of bringing together fans of Cyberpunk as well as opening it up to new audiences, taking care not to define Cyberpunk too strictly or dilute it so much that it loses its meaning.
Key to this was the idea of sharing a mixture of content; reviews of new material, retrospectives on classic content, critical analysis, personal stories, fiction from aspiring writers and more. With such a small community, there needed to be something for everyone.

Iron Skullet
Music curator and influencer at Iron Skullet.com. Creator of the world’s finest synthwave playlist.
My musical tastes lean toward the ’80s and its revival, particularly traditional heavy metal and synthpop. I enjoy other subgenres of metal and new wave music, as well as industrial, video game soundtracks, and dungeon synth.
I enjoy the task of building stylistically narrow and comprehensive playlists on Spotify. This is a means of providing myself with drawing soundtracks as well as an opportunity to apply my listening skills to the process of defining (and redefining) musical genres.
Drawing is my greatest pleasure in life. I specialize in comic book-style illustrations and revel in fantasy and science fiction, particularly when I can incorporate horror elements. I sometimes whip up illustrations in Photoshop, but the tactile pleasure of pencil and India ink on paper makes physical mediums my preferred way to work. My sense of humor tends to be ironic and absurd, and I am most content in life when that humor finds its way into my artwork.
Contact me with inquiries, commissions, and other work opportunities. If you just want to connect and chat about music, that’s cool too.
