Chillwave for Aesthetic Vlogs and Lifestyle Edits
Chillwave on Audiosocket is a royalty-free collection of dreamy, synth-led indie electronic and 80s-tinged rock, mostly sung, cleared for aesthetic vlogs and lifestyle brand video. Electronic textures and percussion lead, with electric guitars, keyboards and handclaps giving Blackbird Blackbird's Aura and Lovespeake's Fall In Love their hazy glide. It fits travel and city vlogs, product features, shopping edits and study videos that want a warmer, more vocal feel than lofi beats.

About this Playlist
Chillwave is a hazy strand of indie electronic music that filters 80s synth-pop and new wave through soft, reverb-heavy vocals and relaxed grooves. In this collection that shows up as new wave and 80s-flavoured rock, indie and post rock, and indie electronic tracks, with reference tags pointing to Washed Out, M83, Neon Indian and Phoenix. It is warmer and more song-based than lofi hip hop and less retro-synth-driven than synthwave.
Mostly sung. Only a small share of this collection is instrumental, notably Mystery Chill by Underpoet and So Close by Low and Be Cold, while the majority carry vocals, from Aura and Blurring Lines by Blackbird Blackbird to Fall In Love by Lovespeake and Reflectionz ft. Ellie Hartye by Shuhandz. If your video has a voiceover, lead with the instrumental cuts or duck the vocal tracks in the mix; for aesthetic montages with no speech, the sung tracks are the point.
Synthwave is retro, synth-first and largely instrumental; this collection is guitar-and-vocal indie with a synth glow. Electric guitars are among the lead instruments here, the sub-genres are indie rock, post rock and new wave rock rather than retro electronica, and most tracks are sung. You still get electronic textures and handclaps, but the feel is a dreamy indie band rather than a neon-grid soundtrack. Choose it when you want warmth and a human voice in an aesthetic edit.
Travel and city vlogs, product features, shopping hauls, study sessions and romantic or night-life montages, which are the themes tagged across nearly every track. The mood mix is chill and happy with a confident, slightly sexy swagger, so it flatters lifestyle brand edits without going sleepy. Tracks run around three and a half minutes on average, so one song can score a full vlog segment and still be trimmed for reels.
It depends on who the video is for. Individual covers a personal channel, while the Small Business and Large Business tiers cover commercial and client work, including brand videos, product features and ads. Every track is cleared for commercial use under whichever tier you buy, the license is perpetual for that finished video, and a subscription, monthly or annual, lets you license without limit during the term.
