As the title says, I was wondering if lemmings would know what this kind of music is called / genre’d? They differ from their performers normal style considerably, but I like the smooth and and vaguely positive melancholic feel of these songs. I think both of these songs share kind of the same sound.
I’ve been a metal head since my early tweens, for way too many years, so I’m kind of wading to uncharted waters for me.
Any ideas?

You may have already checked these, but it might also help people narrow things down by finding related genres
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactivity_(song)
Genre: synth-pop electronic
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvatore_Ganacci
Genres: EDM, moombahton, trap, dancehall
I also didn’t know what moombahton was, if anyone else is curious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moombahton
Hey thanks! Synthpop might be the closest genre - I started checking youtube with keywords you provided, and adding french to it; eg. “french synthpop , french synthwave”. Those started giving results that I percieve to be similar to the two examples.
Maybe its a sound in franchophone world or the language itself that creates the mood. Thank you!
Wow that’s cool
FWIW the Radioactivity article is about the Kraftwerk original while OP linked a Fatboy Slim remix / cover. Kinda reminds me of early Ladytron actually
I have no idea but I’ve saved this thread and hope to find out!
Thanks for sharing!
