The Forest of Concrete and Iron Bars - Reflections on the Zhengzhou Floods and the Synthesizer Era

The floods in Zhengzhou have been a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of being prepared for the unexpected. They have challenged us to think about what it means to be human in a world that is constantly changing.

In times of crisis, it’s important to come together as a community and support one another. We must work together to ensure that everyone has access to the basic necessities of life, such as food, water, and shelter.

The floods in Zhengzhou have been a tragedy, but they have also been an opportunity for us to reflect on our own lives and our own communities. We must take steps to prepare ourselves for the unexpected and to support one another in times of crisis.

Synthwave is a genre of electronic music that emerged in the mid-to-late 20s and is characterized by its nostalgic and retro-futuristic sound. It is influenced by music and film soundtracks from the 1980s and is often associated with action, science-fiction, and horror film soundtracks of the 1980s.

The rise of Synthwave music has been attributed to the desire for a return to the past and a longing for a simpler time. However, it is also an expression of our fascination with the future and our desire to explore new frontiers.

In many ways, Synthwave represents the intersection of modernity and primitive humans. It is a reflection of our desire to embrace technology while also acknowledging our primal instincts.

As we continue to explore the possibilities of Synthwave music, we are reminded that our past and future are inextricably linked. We must embrace both if we are to truly understand who we are and where we are going.
