If I like synthwave music, which other genres should I pay attention to?

For reference, I’m not referring to goth rock synthwave but the modern homonymous style like the playlist linked with the post.

what do you like about it?
Darksynth is essentially a subgenre of synthwave, it's generally faster, more bass-heavy, sometimes a little more metal-adjacent.
You can look into Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Glitch Black, Shredder 1984
- I have a few songs I play when I'm rushing l4d2, makes it feel like a movie.
All genres of music have show-stopping tracks in them. Always be open.
Artist called The Rocketman is sick, his Time Travel album is a great mix
berlin school
Try dark wave. Bands like She Past Away, She Wants Revenge, and Joy Division might be to your liking.
- I love it, I posted a playlist in this genre the other day, but I'm specifically talking about the retro-inspired EDM style, not the goth stuff that used to be called synth wave in the 80s (which includes dark wave but also things like Oppenheimer Analysis)
  
  Tracker?
Not another genre, but you should definitely check out Savlonic if you have not already.
Here's the opener from their latest.
vapor wave
Also, Lee Ritenour's Earth Run

spacesynth
Argent metal (essentially the OST of DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal)
