@stereo oooh that's a great one! That is really early.
I'd feel ok calling Whip It a proto-80s form, it has the synths, it has the drums, but it is still its own unique before thing.

@stereo a close follow up would be "Don't you want me" by the Human League in November 1981. Both called "synth pop" on wikipedia. Also found something i never heard of, a second british invasion! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_British_Invasion?wprov=sfla1
