    Yes, especially his work own the movie 'Drive' was hugely influential on the popularisation of this genre. I think he was featured in the documentary "The Rise of the Synths" also (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_of_the_Synths)

    If you haven't seen there is a really nice documentary called "The Rise of the Synths".

    https://theriseofthesynths.com/ - it's beautifully shot and has John Carpenter as the narrator.
