This perfectly describes me lol (I believe it's referring to musical style, not visuals)

Question:
Do you guys actually like the vaporwave "aesthetic"? Personally I like it, but vastly prefer the music. I know that when some people hear "vaporwave" their minds go straight to the visuals. I have many thoughts about this, but they might be more suited to the general aesthetic thread or even Q&A. 🤔

I do like vaporwave as a music genre, it's chilling stuff. In terms of Simpsonwave, will we get a Sneedwave or does this exist?

nvm, i found it

For me, having lived through the era, I'd rather listen to the original music it samples or see the art on it's own than filtered through that approach.

Synthwave, Retrowave, and Dark Synthwave are my go-to jams. Never really was into the Vaporwave stuff; some of it is okay, but I don't go out of my way to listen to it. The visuals seemed very hipstery back in 2015 when it was the "next big meme", but seeing them today they kind of make me eyeroll just a bit. I prefer this over the Vaporwave aesthetic:didJVRrg_400x400.jpg
This is the cover to Lazerhawk's Dreamrider album. If anyone wants to talk more about favorite artists and songs in those genres, hit me up!

Most vaporwave album covers are meh, but some like the one from "Birth of a New Day" are desktop background worthy:

The mix in OP was the thing that originally got me in to vaporwave back in the day. This album contains my favourite song from the mix.

I have been really in to slushwave for a while, a lot of good shits already been posted (like that telepath/nmesh collab) so I'll just dump (imo the) quintessential slushwave experience for posterity even though I'm sure most of you are already familiar with it.

I don't think i have seen this posted ITT:

Creator kinda gives me gross troon vibes based off their spotify picture but this is an enjoyable 20 minutes of vapor.

Online vaporwave radio. I believe it is hosted by illuminatipirate. Kinda flips between subgenres in a way I find annoying but overall worth checking out.
the fact that some of the original links from the start of this thread are unavailable should be pretty indicative of where vaporwave’s at right now:(
Sample based music is always going to have a pretty inconsistent time staying up on jewtube.

As a whole synthwave kind of fucks me off but this is the exception to that rule. "feel the rush tonight" rubs me all the right ways despite sounding like nothing else I really listen to.
edit i forgot how to embed links properly lol

Feel The Rush Tonight is great. You'd probably like other GUNSHIP songs. Since writing that post I went down the Chillwave/Vaporwave rabbit hole. I've sperged about music in this related thread, but realize most of it might not be your cup of tea. Still worth checking out though. GUNSHIP is mentioned once or twice.
