i unironically like vaporwave

why no example

thanks for your input op

great thread

fine, i'm just getting into it but these seem to be the two tracks literally everyone knows


really though the best way to experience vaporwave is playlists or whole albums, it's part of the ~aesthetic~ and sound quality and the way the songs flow into each other, and you should really listen to it at night or high. like you wouldn't put vaporwave on a "greatest hits" playlist just like you wouldn't put eurodance or whatever

someone impartially explain what vaporwave is to me because i dont get it

and i mean impartially like stgggs

it's a meme

trance-y muzak-based electronica which plays on feelings of nostalgia, nirvana and recovering long-lost but fondly remembered sensations

"Vaporwave is a music genre and art movement that emerged in the early 2010s among Internet communities. It is characterized by a nostalgic or surrealist fascination with retro cultural aesthetics (typically that of the late 1980s and early 1990s), entertainment technology, consumer culture and advertising, and styles of corporate and popular music such as lounge, smooth jazz and elevator music. Musical sampling is prevalent within the genre, with samples often pitched, layered or altered in classic chopped and screwed style."

its good but theres a lot of shitty artists who just copypaste shit into audacity or the overused joke sub-genre vapormeme

there are pretty good artists in the more mainstream portion of vaporwave like saint pepsi:



artzie music is good except most of their stuff is japanese-centric retro animeish vaporwave, which i like some of but is mostly not as good as the americanized stuff.

is the saint pepsi stuff the "mainstream" vaporwave? i thought most vaporwave was more laidback and he was an outlier

saint pepsi is popular as fuck for vaporwaves dude, his shit is climbing millions on youtube and he has a wiki article.

yeah i know he's popular but i thought his style was an outlier

no because 1: many, if not most, rap songs discuss a variety of other subjects and 2: obviously, not all hiphop/rap songs have a generic drum beat

even if you say its a dumbed down/nutshell version, the nutshackshell should still be true to its actual subject.

dude dont get your pannies in a twist he's saying in a dumbed down way, not that its literally that

its just that 'in a dumbed down way' means to explain something simply but still have it reflect most of whats true.
