Genre LensWhat is Synth Pop?
Pop where synthesizers replace guitars as the main colour. Crisp electronic drums, catchy synth riffs, often a slightly cool or detached vocal.

Identify my track- synth riff as the main hook
- drum-machine percussion
- clean melodic bass
- retro or futuristic sheen
Anchors rather than an exhaustive canon — if your track sits near these, this is probably the right label.
Usual tempo 100–130 BPM. Sitting outside that range does not disqualify a track; it just makes the tells matter more.
The nearest neighbours in Pop, by tempo. If Synth Pop does not quite fit, one of these usually does.
- Indie Pop95–130 BPM
Pop melody with a smaller, more homemade, less glossy production. Jangly guitars or bedroom synths, intimate vocals, quirky arrangements.
- Electropop100–128 BPM
Pop built from aggressive, prominent electronic textures — heavy synth bass and processed vocals pushed to the front.
- Dance Pop118–128 BPM
Pop songwriting on a four-on-the-floor dance beat. Big chorus, bright synths, built for both radio and the club.
- Singer-Songwriter Pop70–110 BPM
Voice and a primary instrument at the centre. Piano or acoustic guitar, lyric-driven, minimal production so the song carries itself.
