Macross

Macross, often associated with the vibrant "future funk" scene, is a genre that blends nostalgic 80s Japanese pop influences with modern electronic beats and funky grooves. Originating from the cultural resurgence of retro anime aesthetics and city pop, it captivates listeners with its upbeat tempos, smooth vocal samples, and shimmering synths that evoke a sense of neon-lit nostalgia. Notable for its playful use of anime-inspired visuals and soundscapes, Macross transports audiences to a dreamy, animated world where past and future collide in a kaleidoscope of sound.
