| EC's Nu-Disco Walrus Full Member   Gender: IRL Yaoi Character Orientation: (｡◕‿◕。) Out Status: ㅎ_ㅎ Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada Age: 22 Posts: 7,111 Join Date: Oct 2007 |  [Appreciation Thread] Nu Disco [Funk, Electro, and Walrus Approved] So, I thought that by chance I had stumbled across the next rising electro fad but it turns out I'm a fewwwww years behind. It was funny, I had been listening to Kavinsky ever since around the time Tron Legacy came out but I never knew that it was part of a rising fad of electro music. So, Drive comes out and suddenly I get Kavinsky'ed hardcore all over my facebook and through following links around Youtube I became exposed to this fad called, Nu Disco. At first I thought it was called New 80's Synth but after exploring around I knew it by it's offical name, "Nu Disco." Unfortunately, I am not hipster enough to have heard about it sooner, and now with the DRIVE soundtrack gaining popularily I've failed to jump on the bandwagon before the hipsters lost it to the mainstream. But, I guess despite me still not being "cool," I thought I'd just post in my spitefulness towards the hipsters (If I can't be cool, nobody can), and encouraging the mainstream spread of Nu Disco. The funny part is, is that a guy I use to work with was telling me all about it, and I was like, "Sounds dumb." Man I seriously think that I just missed "The Hipster Train" on this one (A couple of years is pretty good considering how late I usually get into trends). I totally could have been that guy that was like, "I liked Nu Disco even before Drive came out." For those of you yet to explore Nu Disco let me paraphase the best I can: It's like...80's pop...Camped up and electrofied to maximum rainbows. (TL/DR) Example: Grum - Through The Night  Amazing am I right?

It's funny, I have the perfect 80's synth pop jacket. It's a super flashy Star Trek Jacket to boot. Check out these guys though: Flashworx's Spotlight page on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free Looks like the Walrus is going 80's.

I too have never heard of that term, though I'm sure the likes of Cut Copy / Miami Horror etc. etc. would fit under the term. Luvluv synths. I reckon they've strongly influenced the chillwave genre in America (video #2) and balearic pop in Sweden (#3), recently elsewhere.
Please go mainstream indeed! Oh my god this post is so embarrassingly hipster. I just can't help myself. ---------- Post added 1st Dec 2011 at 11:59 PM ---------- I just want to spam hundreds of summery-disco videos across the entire internet right now. Last one:
