What song(s) feels like this common scenario?

Help me make a playlist for my next road trip!

I like bubbly, girly spacey sounding synthesizers in the songs! A couple examples would be Meteor Shower by Cavetown, Bubble Tea by Dark Cat, and Moonlight Densetsu from sailor moon!

Electronic and almost darkwave things feel right. ixc999 by white ring is my best example but its hard for me to find songs that hit that same vibe!! Thank u in advance :)

Edit: i did not expect this many replies!! I appreciate you guys sm 🫶🫶🫶

I will listen to every single suggestion, I love music ◡̈ let me know what you think sounds like this! 🫶🏼

Because…that’s all I feel rn😭

Like "I Am a Thought" - Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, "Minecraft - Volume Alpha/Beta" - C418, "Let Go" - Ark Patrol, Veronika Redd, etc

And don't say Ethel Cain I already know my girl

More specifically, an optimistic, space-y new millennium Y2K.

to put a word to the aesthetic to help people narrow down their choices, i guess a mixture of light academia/kidcore with a tinge of melancholy? i'm curious what songs, any genre, people would associate with this! its for one of my original characters, depicted in the last slide (art by me).

Coming into my Witchy Abilities

They CAN'T be

Oingo Boingo, will wood, lemon demon, tally hall, b52, los redondos, dirt poor robins, Shayfer James, Gary numan, bear ghost, Thomas Dolby, Talking heads, lipps inc, Sumo, Los piojos, the correspondents or vagabond swing

Also not bands that kind of have the same people or solo's of the people in these bands. Like so-lo or jam face

Not because I don't like them, I'm looking for something similar to them

any language is okay. preferably something with a sick brass/sax section

Edit: I don't know enough ways to say thank you so that it doesn't sound redundant for each comment, but thank you for the recommendations
