1. I'm not sure, I don't really watch sitcoms lol

2. Vaporwave is like my mind on the regular, a jumble of shower thoughts and fever dreams I somehow remember but can't comprehend

3. I really like mall soft, utopian virtual, and citypop

4. I was on >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk looking for Vaporwave related stuff and people were talking about this place

5. kickboxing, art, listen to music, and if I don't have too much anxiety I skateboard (rarely tho lol)

Hi everyone.

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
I liked arrested development but I wouldn't say it describes my life, haven't seen too many sitcoms

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
I don't really enjoy the state of the internet these days. I like the stuff that harkens back to what seems like a better time.

What Subgenres are you most into?
To be quite honest I found this forum recently but don't listen to any of the music. I'll have to look into it.

How did you find out about this place?
I found this forum while looking for stuff about dead internet theory. Discussion seemed to be real people and of decent quality, and I'll take anything over >2022 4chan

What do you do for fun?
Lifting and video games for the most part. I play lacrosse, but there isn't much to do in the off season.

Just about anything that hits the spot and tends to have ambient elements, even if small

Known about it for a while, must have seen an ad for it somewhere first

Music, try to enjoy the outdoors, try to live well every day

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
I never watched a sitcom, so...

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
It brings me memories of things that never happened and makes me yearn for a places I have never been. It's a hazy feeling but also a warm one, I guess it means the loss of what could have been? I don't know.

What subgenres are you most into?
Subgenres of what? If it is music, then I deeply enjoy synthwave, but I can listen to almost anything.
Otherwise, I like sci-fi, high and low fantasy, cyberpunk...

How did you find out about this place?
I was trying to escape the dead internet, really.

What do you do for fun?
Life hasn't been exactly fun to me for a long long time.

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
The only sitcom I ever really watched was Community and that is probably anything but a good description of someone's life. But hey if it describes your life I'd be very interested to hear some stories.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
It makes me feel like I tap into memories that I just barely missed because I was born just a few years too late. Somehow it brings me back to a time that I never truly experienced yet am also somewhat glad that I did not experience due to the fact that my life would be wildly different and I like how my life turned out. It also reminds me of a friend of mine who has a really cool vaporwave feel to his computer.

What subgenres are you most into?
I don't fully understand the question but I guess sci-fi and horror podcasts.

How did you find out about this place?
Like most newcomers it seems I found it through Dead Internet Theory. I checked out some of the other threads and was frankly relieved to find a place that could actually hold thoughtful discussion from a variety of differing viewpoints. It's been something that I've been yearning for for a while.

What do you do for fun?
I play on a minecraft server with some of my friends, I'm currently helping a friend create a videogame idea that he's had since he was in grade school, and I generally just hang out with my IRL friends. I like more extreme fun (like roller coasters, jet skiing, indoor skydiving etc.) but that tends to be fairly expensive so I can't do those often.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?

Vaporwave takes artless mass-produced commercial music and transmogrifies it into a sort of folk music of the internet. Since it often goes beyond just sampling, its lack of usefulness to the broader music business is built in.

What subgenres are you most into?

Mallsoft, Futureunk

Always find these types of questions hard, can't really relate to any particular one. Some of my favourites are the old Simpsons, Futurama, the Office, I guess

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
I view it as a superset of art: containing the "art" style and the music genre, tend to lean in the direction of music though

What subgenres are you most into?
Probably hardvapor? Not too bothered about specific terminology, I pretty much just like metal and vaporwave, so the combination of the two is based

How did you find out about this place?
Some anon namedropped the site and it looked comfy enough to me

What do you do for fun?
At the moment my time is spread between reading, listening to music, cooking, and (badly) coding

What's up? I saw a video on Youtube about the dead internet theory and it basically tied in many things I've been realizing over the years. I have a BSc in Cybersecurity and work in the field and as a lead network administrator and cyber threat hunter.

Thus, as you can imagine, I'm all about decentralizing the internet and this is a good platform to join. I like the community. I definitely listen to vaporwave at times when I'm coding or whatever.

Anyway, YUH. I would love helping anyone disappear from the mainstream internet, to stop their devices from sending data to microsoft, apple, and/or google all day. I'm not unethical. No, I'm not a hacker for hire, and no, I would never mess with this website or any website I like. I see hacking as an aggression, thus, should be controlled and ethical.

Thanks !

Ello! I just like the aesthetic of this place so I thought I would sit down and take it in. Vaporwave means 80s synths to me, which is stellar. Nothing bangs like a juno. I read some of and liked the discussions here. I am also from a discussion of dead internet theory, surprise surprise, from an article that was published in the atlantic some million months ago, but I have now thought about a few too many times, and am now scratching the itch to stay on this site. This is also in part to the fact that I open >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk more times than I would like most days because I don't have any other places to put my muscle memory, and thus I'm trying to find some forms to reroute that habit into. Literally forgot I signed up until tonight, though I signed up last friday. Didn't see the mod message until today. Anyway, professional lurker, I considered not even making an account, but idk thought I would get out a bit. After lots of consideration, I'm pretty sure dead internet theory is mostly an emergent property of being disillusioned to how brainless the posts people make are, but not that they're bots. Ok anyway love you bye.

*I should mention more times than I'd like is like 1 or 2 for like 10 minutes
