Minimal synth releases were mostly put out from late 1970s to middle '80s, remaining underground, and were obviously never aimed for MTV/VH1 play. The genre is characterized by dark and moody tones. It has a bleak stripped down sound, with instrumentation consisting generally of raw analog synths, a pulsating drum beat, and cold vocals. This same sort of music without the vocals is also referred to as minimal electronic.
Minimal synth records tend to show a DIY quality, some are fairly experimental when compared to other forms of pop music. The overarching genre of most early '80s synthpop is new wave; the same applies for minimal synth. The umbrella genre is New Wave in its minimal form: Minimal Wave. The minimal synth features explained in this description are often favored by fans of darkwave and the avant-pop and electronic music fans.
Many minimal synth records are perceived as cult by music researchers/collectors, as they were released in very limited quantities at the time. They are considered superior and unique in comparison to more commercial synthpop of the '80s era, and minimal synth 7"s can go for several hundred dollars at online auction sites.
More recent examples of the genre are bands such as The Phone and Jonni Mogul, with labels such as Attractive and Anna Logue becoming increasingly sought after by fans.
Stargirl Interlude
The Weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A vision of my nails in the kitchen
Scratchin' counter tops, I was screamin'
My back arched like a cat
My position couldn't stop, you were hittin'
And I shouldn't cry, but I love it, Starboy
And I shouldn't cry, but I love it (but I love it), Starboy
And I shouldn't cry, but I love it, Starboy
And I shouldn't cry, but I love it, Starboy
I just wanna see you shine 'cause I know you are a Stargirl
I just wanna see you shine 'cause I know you are a Stargirl
I just wanna see you shine 'cause I know you are a Stargirl
I just wanna see you shine
The Weeknd's Stargirl Interlude is a song about a woman whose sexual pleasure is so intense that it causes her to have a vision, and it's through this vision that she sees herself in the kitchen, with her nails scratching on the countertops and screaming out in ecstasy. The woman's back is arched like a cat, and she can't stop because of the intense pleasure she's feeling. This vision is a metaphor for the sexual experience she's having with her partner, and her inability to control her emotions or tears during the act. Despite the pain or discomfort she feels, she still loves the experience, acknowledging her love for the Starboy who is satisfying her desires.
The chorus creates a shift in the focus of the song, with the repetition of "I just wanna see you shine 'cause I know you are a Stargirl." This line indicates a shift away from the woman's pleasure to the focus of the song being on the Starboy. The Stargirl refers to the woman, and the chorus seems to emphasize that the Starboy wants nothing more than to see her happy and shining in her own element. It's a beautiful display of affection, showing how one partner's pleasure is intertwined with the happiness of their loved one.
Overall, the song is a beautiful and sensual exploration of sexual pleasure and love, intertwined with a deep affection for one's partner. It highlights the importance of enjoying the small things in life and finding happiness through experiencing pleasure with your partner.
