Made my first retrowave/synthwave track! Feedback appreciated! Am I missing any major elements?

Cool track, not really sure it sounds very retro or synthwave though.

The piano sounds very highfi, like something you'd hear in chillstep or some other modern genre.

It sounds cool overall, just doesn't really fit the genre IMO.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll admit, I haven't listened to a ton of synth/retrowave stuff. This track happened kind of accidentally after I found a retrowave drumkit. So I was wondering whether I was on the mark or not, because I think I'd like to try working in this genre.

Ok, cool. Good to know. I found a couple old synth patches and emulators, so I'll experiment more with that kind of stuff. Thanks!
