The Weeknd, in particular, is notable for bringing synthwave into the mainstream. Whether he was actually influenced by synthwave artists or only by their common New Wave influences is anybody's question.

yea, I've never listened to The Weeknd before this, as it just cropped up on the "Summer Hits of 2021" playlist, and it was the second song, and My God is it a good tune! I don't want to overplay it, though, because then I will get sick of it. I may check out some of The Weeknd's other stuff :)
