Outrun is a particular style/genre of music. Well, more of a subgenre really. It's a very specific type of electro. It relies very heavily on 80's themes and synthesizers. There's a certain vibe to it. Like you're an undercover cop stressed about a case, driving down the boulevard at night surrounded by neon lights and a blood moon looms overhead. There's something very noir about it, but it's not reserved for private investigators.

If you want to get an idea of the "vibe," there are some things you might want to check out.
