[[Darkwave]] is to [[Synth Pop]] what [[Goth Rock]] is to [[Punk Rock]]; [[This Is Your Premise on Drugs|This Is Your Premise On Goth]]. Basically, [[Darkwave]] is Goth's brooding angst but on synthesizers rather than guitars. |

[[Darkwave]] is related to but is not a subgenre of [[Industrial]]. Whilst both genres are electronic and target the [[Goth]] market, [[Darkwave]] is generally softer. Naturally there is some overlap; some [[Darkwave]] artists will often put an EBM or Futurepop-style song on their album to broaden its dance-floor appeal. [[Industrial]] artists can also be heavily inspired by [[Darkwave]]; creating some utterly harrowing works of pure [[Angst]]/[[Wangst]] in the process. |

Generally, however, it is fair to characterize [[Darkwave]] as [[Goth|Gothic]] [[New Wave]] or [[Synth Pop]]. Synthesizers will be the predominant instrument, although guitars can be used in moderation. |
