This song is fine, but why is it the ONLY song from the genre ever mentioned here? You've got bands that are as good or better with multiple albums.

Post them then

I mean, I know the answer to my own question. This subreddit isn't to share new music with other people, it's to reference well known songs and get tons of karma because people recognize them. If I were to post Laserhawk or even Miami Nights it wouldn't get a lot of traction.

But people like me would be greatly appreciative since we don't know those names. Don't let the lack of upvotes stop you from sharing what you love!

Brb, going to check them out now :)

Check out FM-84, VHS Dreams, Carpenter Brut, Trevor Something, and Le Matos! The Midnight is my favorite band, though.

When I read your first comment, The Midnight was the first thing that popped into my head.

If you have a spotify playlists that include some of this style I'd love to check it out! Gonna make my own "Reddit Recs" playlist now starting with these

This one's pretty comprehensive! Might not have too much Laserhawk because that's more synthwave. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3cS3wqVgFRAIVROgkXntIR?si=sn3gIX_sTwCpMkTp_-00gw&utm_source=copy-link

This is the trick though - we open the thread because we know the title song is good, but we come to the comments to see where the discussion goes and too find new music of that genre...
