"The Chauffer" : youtu.be/ks-eDT2gAFE

There was a lot of crossover with post-punk/pop/synthpop/"new wave" (insert Paul Reubens sperging out on Chong under the influence of cocaine here), etc. Anything with a sax.

Oops. Crossover between all that stuff... and R&B slow jams. I think Black Mirror did an episode about this particular "scene" with a biracial lesbian couple?
