Sure, if you don't mind some random top of mind recommendations.

For 90s alt/grunge fans, I definitely recommend the latest album by Scowl, 'Are We All Angels':

https://open.spotify.com/album/0zDdwRsOg2sVvOFpjEOtHs

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/scowl/are-we-all-angels/

80s synth is pretty broad, so let me give you two fairly different recommendations and see where you land with them. First off, I'm gonna reach back a little bit to 2020 to recommend 'Monsters' by The Midnight, a great album by a great band:

https://open.spotify.com/album/1WKMbxcldmwnXaCIGgEpUW

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/the-midnight/monsters/

But if you're talking the more kind of pop-influenced, singer/songwriter side of 80s synth, I'm actually gonna recommend a really small release to you, 'It Ain't Too Late For One More Ride' by indie musician Calvero:

https://open.spotify.com/album/6i5MYveOM35x8twOhfpYim

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/calvero/it-aint-too-late-for-one-more-ride/

I do consider myself a bit of a music buff and I listen to an incredibly broad range of genres and styles, but I will confess that rave music isn't one of my specialties. But a couple quick recommendations that might fall in the same rough proximity:

First off I dig the chillout beach party vibes of some of the tracks by artist "elsaaa" on Spotify, mostly the songs on the top of her popular section:

https://open.spotify.com/artist/0l9ymNLUakebec39MWLAuE

I also like a bit of ARMNHMR, but they're not super new so if you're into EDM/rave music you may already know them:

https://open.spotify.com/artist/0P2bZXPyjHYRW4guHVAFl1

If you just want some fun dance music that's very modern, and you have any openness to metal, may I recommend a few tracks by the very excellent and very fun Electric Callboy, with the caveat that this is not rave music and may potential be a stretch for you:

Electric Callboy - Everytime We Touch (TEKKNO Version):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuBXeF5acqE

Electric Callboy - PUMP IT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnzkhQsmSag

Electric Callboy - WE GOT THE MOVES:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1NdGBldg3w

Again, these are just quick top of mind recommendations, so if they don't hit for you or you want more recommendations, let me know and I can think on it a bit longer. But if you do check any of it out, feel free to let me know what you think!

    Thats a brilliant list thanks so kuch for taking the time to do that! How have I never heard Scowl before??? That's added to my library excellent recommendation. I REALLY like electric callboy I was hooked right away. I like some of ARMNHMR as well. Synth music I've not described very well it's things like timecop83, wolfclub, betamax, prize... it's the fast cheerful stuff I like eg all we live for. It's a kinda unusual style!

    To add another real quick, they don't have any recent output, and they're frequently instrumental, but FM-84 might be up your alley too:

    My pleasure! I love talking music so I'm happy for any excuse.

    And okay, now that I understand we're talking like retro vocal synthwave, I have some better recommendations!

    My first recommendation immediately came to mind, but I'm gonna be honest and say that the best part of this recommendation does extend past the 5yr guideline I alluded to in my original comment, so you'll have to excuse that. She's still an active artist, but her recent work has been as features or a 2020 album collab with a more aggressive synth artist that probably isn't what you're looking for. But anyway, I definitely recommend Dana Jean Phoenix if you haven't heard her yet!

    Start here, the opener title track of 'Le Mirage' is an absolute banger than I think is totally gonna work for you:

    https://open.spotify.com/album/3NuANBUmoNZH5x2BZzXSQV

    https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/dana_jean_phoenix/le_mirage/

    2018 album 'PixelDust' is probably overall the better album but it doesn't have a mega-banger like the track 'Le Mirage':

    https://open.spotify.com/album/1vJClfLqAeNTyAHbv5sqWN

    https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/dana-jean-phoenix/pixeldust/

    If you're open to slightly darker/heavier synth stuff, 'Megawave' is the collab album I mentioned above with artist Powernerd, and I think it's pretty groovy:

    https://open.spotify.com/album/3ft0lmyttvgoCrja0jAI0Q

    https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/dana-jean-phoenix-powernerd/megawave/

    Beyond Dana Jean Phoenix, here are some other artists I'd recommend but with less specific recommendations (probably just listen to their popular songs to get a feel):

    NINA - very similar space to Dana Jean Phoenix:

    https://open.spotify.com/artist/31KAV0Dg1UNmnfSmvLT2XG

    https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/nina_f11

    Summerdrive is not this sound exactly, but they're kind of synthwave meets clean pop so you might dig them (The Midnight who I previously recommended also sit in this space, but they're a little jazzier):

    https://open.spotify.com/artist/5RASv130lmR8GyP0EcQLjJ

    And finally Gunship are also not this sound exactly, but rather sort of what you'd get if you mixed that synthwave sound with 80s hard rock, and it's goddamn glorious (I love Gunship):

    https://open.spotify.com/artist/3PALZKWkpwjRvBsRmhlVSS

    https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/gunship

    And if I'm still off the mark, hit me with another example :P

    Mate you're absolutely bang on the mark!!! I've just spent half an hour listening to them. Le Mirage is amazing and modern fairytale is so good I've played it twice already! Gunship is truly glorious I particularly like monster in paradise and can't wait to listen to more. I like Nina and Summer drive too, there's some real wins in their stuff. Honestly thanks so much you've made my day! Really excited 😃

    Hey mate! I'm doing 2 quizzes next week for charity and I'd like to have a music round where I play the first 10 seconds of a song and people guess it. I need to find songs that people might know without being too obvious, and I can only think of a couple. Do you have any ideas?

    I'm about to go on a trip so I only have a brief moment to answer this, I'm sorry, but here are some quick picks without having more context to go on:

    fairly obvious:

    1979 by Smashing Pumpkins

    Ain't It Fun by Paramore

    Raspberry Beret by Prince

    Meant to Live by Switchfoot

    Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

    Thinkin Bout You by Frank Ocean

    Stop by the Spice Girls

    Super Bass by Nicki Minaj

    I Believe In a Thing Called Love by The Darkness

    Here It Goes Again by OK Go

    Electric Feel by MGMT

    less obvious:

    Lost in the Supermarket by The Clash

    All My Life by K-Ci & JoJo

    Ever Fallen in Love by the Buzzcocks

    Maniac by Conan Gray

    Closer by Tegan and Sara

    I Need a Dollar by Aloe Blacc

    Disco Man by Remi Wolf

    Them Changes by Thundercat

    Cocoa Butter Kisses by Chance the Rapper

    Swing Life Away by Rise Against.

    I tried to not give you anything too obscure, but if these are too obvious or if you have a theme or direction to narrow the field I can think on it more and get back to you in a few days, probably.

    edit:

    I didn't think too much about the first 10 seconds part admittedly again due to limited time, so some of these may be better to play 10 seconds a later section of the song if you're open to that.

    Hey Vespair! Quizzes were a really big success, your suggestions went down a treat. Everyone had a blast and we raised over £300 for charity
