Fashwave is a genre of instrumental electronic music that has been called the soundtrack of the "alt-right", the United States-based far-right political movement.
Following BuzzFeed publishing a story about fashwave, Vice described it, "As its name suggests, the "genre" involves a combination of fascist ideology with the vintage electronic music of synthwave," reports Buzzfeed. "It's all topped off with a vague melange of 80s aesthetic signifiers, including images of space travel, combat iconography, 8-bit stylings, and lots of neon."
