Gamewave is primarily classified as an electronic music genre that was born in the early 90s with the idea of creating a musical style influenced by video game music.

Welle:Erdball, a new-wave band from Germany, are considered pioneers of the genre. Aside from Welle:Erdball, the genre was mostly dormant until 1998 and the appearance of Japanese group Metronome, their debut release (circa 2000) titled Yapuu ga Shoukansareta Machi. During the same year, Swedish group Machinae Supremacy were founded. Machinae Supremacy did not draw influences from Metronome and played in a considerably different vein, but both bands paralleled each other by combining chiptune music with the rock and orchestra genres.
