Can someone please explain to me why synth is being suffixed with wave rather than -rock or -pop?

Or is it some pretentious millennial thing?

Because it has a lot of elements of new wave music. That's why.

These specific songs are attempting to sound exactly like 70's / 80's style synth new wave pop songs.

just the genre labels. I used to be pretty resistant to alot of super specify labels, but I gave that up and it isn't so bad I guess...

Oh, I found the song with some more good sax that came on that I couldn't remember. Same album as my previous one:

From like 2 minutes on it just becomes a spicy sax song

It seems like a silly way of going about announcing that, then.

Haha that was the second one I posted cause I was sure there was a sweet sax song better than Jason in there, and it was indeed Vampires. Awesome song.

I mean I also like stuff like lo-fi new age shit, it's all just silly labels. But the wiki I linked just explains WHY, and in this regards it's just a large umbrella term for synthetic style pop, rock, art music.

Definitely post punk like Ultravox! at the beginning. First two albums are darker than your new wave stuff. Then they land under new wave, also like Ultravox

It does? It's synthetic music with new wave elements, hence Synthwave. Seems straight-forward to me, especially in a world where there's a genre called Mathcore.
