I always hear this type of melody that sort of follows a pre-determined scale in 80’s songs. I can’t attribute it to any specific genre because I hear it across different genres. I’m curious if there is any single genre that spearheaded this kind of melodic scale found in the specific portion of these songs I’ve linked here:
