Neon Glow

By Neon-Kitten | Planet Dystopia | 14 Jan 2020


Whatever kind of memories of the neon-soaked, trashy '90s you still might have, deep down there, in some edge of your cortical stack... they got thrown into the synthetic shredder:

Neon lights glowin' 
End of times, they call'd'em 
In doubts kept rollin' 
Never true, we brawl'd'em 

A few months ago, while playing around with my synthesizers, I discovered some vibes that somehow instantly reminded me of the 1990s:

Retrospectively, a relatively calm, nice and slow-seeming time (at least in the head of this carbon based bio unit). Lots of love, hot summers, funky colors, talks about end of history, proclaimed beginning of a new peaceful era and similar BS talk & yada-yada came back to me, crawling into my mind. Something that numbs you like a cozy warm blanket, before you realize that it's an old flea-ridden rag...

I couldn't help myself, but throw these vibes down the synthesizer shredder fast. In a hard way. Felt good! ^^

You got some of these vibes, too? Let me know, or judge silently from your own personal island of horrors ;)
