Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kavinsky (a.k.a. Vincent Pierre Claude Belorgey, born July 31, 1975) is a French house/electronic artist who is known primarily for creating upbeat but also somewhat thematically dark Synth-Pop reminiscent of 1980s sci-fi and action film soundtracks.Belgory recorded his first single, "Testarossa Overdrive", after being inspired by a pair of fellow friends who worked in filmmaking. From there, Belgory was signed to the Record Makers music label and released three EP's from 2006 to 2010. He achieved major mainstream attention when "Nightcall", the lead single off his third LP, was used as the opening theme to the film Drive (2011) starring Ryan Gosling.Belgory's next EP, ProtoVision, was released in December 2012, followed by his first studio album, Outrun, in February 2013. The latter is a Concept Album about the character of Kavinsky, who is a high school student who crashes his Cool Car before mysteriously coming back to life and going to find his high school sweetheart. The subsequent release, Zenith (2022), is a sequel to Outrun.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As a result of his mainstream success, Belgory has raised public interest in other Synthwave artists. His work is also meant as a Genre Throwback to the 1980s film soundtracks of John Carpenter and Tangerine Dream. | |

Cool Shades: One of Kavinsky's defining traits. Used to hide Red Eyes, Take Warning. The shades only come down when Things Get Real. | |

Anachronism Stew: While the story is explictly stated to take place in 1986, the song "Suburbia" has several contemporary pop culture references, including mentions of Gwyneth Paltrow, Facebook and Twitter. The story started in 1986 when Kavinsky died, but goes on to state Kavinsky returned to life in 2006 and is still active into the present day. | |

Cool Car: Kavinsky's Ferrari Testarossa. It's also Vincent's personal ride. | |

Anti-Villain | |
| Kavinsky (Music) / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Although the character's motivations are largely altruistic or heroic in nature (saving the waitress, for example), he's also been shown (in the music video for ProtoVision) to have run down an off-duty police officer just for the act of chasing him (via crushing the officer's body against a fence and watching as he dies). The lyrics to Renegade also touch on the trope, implying Kavinsky is well aware of it and struggles with not sliding into villainy. | |
