Bit confused

Synthwave is a music genre, not a visual art style. What would a synthwave theme game have to include, just a synthetic sunset and the color purple?

Hi! 

Yes, Synthwave is primarily a music genre but  I'd say the genre is also associated with an 80's retro-futuristic aesthetic. Neon grids, neon lights, sports cars, broken suns, palm trees, wireframe graphics. I'd look up "Synthwave images" on google to get an idea of what I am talking about. You can also check out the aesthetics wiki: https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Synthwave

However, I'm being very "loose" with the rules of what Synthwave is since I understand that these aesthetics can be kinda arbitrary. You can for sure expand this aesthetic to other visuals, or even just include the color purple and a synthetic sun.
