synth-pop
A music genre performed mostly or totally on electronic instruments: synthesizers, samplers and drum machines.
Often confused with New Wave, but it's not the same. New Wave is guitar-based genre, and synth-pop evolved from new wave by replacing guitar-based arrangements with synths.
It was extremely popular genre in 80s, but in 2000s had sort of comeback, and loyal fan base
