Detailed Description
Chillwave is a subgenre of electronic music characterized by a dreamy, nostalgic or surreal atmosphere. It often features synthesizers and heavy reverb, giving it a washed-out, lo-fi sound. The term “chillwave” was coined in 2009 by music blogger Carles to describe the music of Washed Out, Neon Indian and Toro y Moi. These artists were part of a wave of bedroom producers who were making lo-fi, synth-based music inspired by ’80s pop and new wave. Chillwave reached its peak of popularity in the early 2010s, with many artists releasing well-received albums and EPs. However, the genre has since fallen out of favor, with many of its key players moving on to other styles. Despite its decline, chillwave has left a lasting impression on electronic music. Its hazy, dreamlike sound has been adopted by many artists, and its influence can still be heard in today’s music.
