  • **Danceable Beats**: Synthpop typically features upbeat and danceable rhythms, influenced by disco and electronic dance music, making it popular in clubs.
  • **Production Techniques**: The production often involves layering multiple synth tracks, drum machines, and effects like reverb and chorus to create a rich soundscape.
