I still have to nominate my favorite song from Hotline Miami (even though I'm sure it's been posted to death): Knock Knock by Scattle

I love Perturbator but Scattle's song is just vengeful bliss. It totally evokes the 'feeling' of the level it is used in-- at least to me.
 
While this genre is getting annoying as hell, copying the hair/art style EXACTLY. its getting hard to find original 80's tunes. I mean cmon'... VHS tapes are not to remembered fondly dammit!

I did pick this one up recently Pilotpriest

I guess the grass is always greener on the other side of the decade.

Ah, I have an entry into this genre, a bloke called Brian Hazard , I am interviewing him in few months, and he is there in 1980s synth-pop genre, which I only recently learned was a thing.

I thought the OP was going to post 80s style snyth-pop/electro synth cyberpunk inspired music not stuff which just sounds like generic techno of the 10s.

Like things like Polica's Amongster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvmb8oussWs or Punching in a Dream by The Naked And Famous https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szi1iIkhV2E essentially stuff with a bit of auto tune, disorted electronical rifts, a bit of techno and and overall sounding cyberpunkish albums from the both of them while still been pop stuff.
