Justin Stokes launches his new project with a track inspired by new wave classics and modern identity
Modern Ideas make their debut with “This Is How It Hurts,” a single that channels the spirit of classic new wave while framing it through a distinctly modern perspective. Created by Melbourne-based multi-instrumentalist Justin Stokes, the project embraces the synthetic elegance of the 1980s as a vehicle for exploring themes of reinvention, identity, and the evolving relationship between technology and human emotion.
Driven by shimmering synths, melancholic melodies, and influences ranging from New Order to Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys, the track blurs the line between digital detachment and emotional intimacy. With “This Is How It Hurts,” Modern Ideas introduce a sound that feels both familiar and forward-looking, positioning the project as a compelling new voice within contemporary synth-pop and darkwave circles.
