From this era, electronic music made a dramatic leap forward, giving birth to genres like electropop and synthwave that are now commonplace.

Naturally, these changes also influenced ballads, a genre in their own right.

In recent years, thanks to a global revival boom, music from the 1980s has been drawing renewed attention.
