Synthwave Suno prompt

Style

Synthwave, retro analog synth arpeggios, gated reverb drums, pulsing bassline, neon night drive, instrumental, 100 BPM

Exclude styles

acoustic, rap

Why it's written this way

"Gated reverb drums" is the single most 80s sound you can ask for; the arpeggios carry the melody without vocals.

Change one thing

• Turn Instrumental off and add "dreamy female vocals" for retro synth-pop.
• Swap "neon night drive" for "dark, menacing" for darksynth.
