* UnbuiltTrope: Outrun is widely considered one of, if not the first proper synthwave LP, and for as many tropes it codified, it can also appear very deconstructive in its approach to synthwave, simply because its hallmarks weren't quite as well established.
** Many standard pop music tropes (like AWildRapperAppears below) would be unheard of in most "mainstream" synthwave track.
** A vocoder is used on Nightcall, despite the instrument not being widespread in the genre.
** The character of Kavinsky is based on the artist himself, when most synthwave artists are anonymous.
** The whole plot of the album seems like a deconstruction of the synthwave ideal. Whereas most synthwave artists blatantly fetishize the 80s, its ideal of coolness and its sportscars, Outrun shows that Kavinsky is actually a terrifying zombie freak, and his cursed Testarossa is the source of all his troubles. Ironically enough, the "cars and babes" subset of synthwave is named Outrun, [[MisaimedFandom partially because of this album.]]

Given [[TearsOfBlood the side effects we see]], doing this apparently puts a lot of strain on Kavinsky, however.
