roller skating eh? nice.
The modern roller skating scene is a fun one to be around. Don't really feel like I would fit in the culture but I went to a rink last year and it was a very fun evening.

Seinfeld? I know it wasn't cancelled but I feel like it works pretty well. Sound and fury, signifying nothing etc. etc.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?

I used to watch a lot of Star Trek TNG (and still do). I guess that show isn't explicitly vapourwave, but not much is. To me vapourwave is just a collection of incoherent meaningless parts which somehow form something meaningful and nostalgic when together.

What subgenres are you most into?

I don't know very much about the subgenres, hopefully I can learn a little more by lurking here.

How did you find out about this place?

I can't remember. The name sounded really familiar, like I'd definitely heard it before, and when I searched it up I found myself here.

What do you do for fun?

I'm trying to learn piano, on a shitty old Yamaha psr-6, which I guess is kind of vapourwave now that I think about it. Apar from that I read quite a bit, and spend a huge amount of time on my computer, mostly browsing the internet.

I don't watch much TV, so I would not know

What does Vaporwave mean to you?

Getting a anemoia dose, and making music out of music.

What subgenres are you most into?

Vaportrap, hardvapour, Y2K, mallsoft, fishvapour.

How did you find out about this place?
I don't remember, I am pretty sure someone told me to come here because this forum is better for me than whatever forum they were running

What do you do for fun?
Make music, play games, tinker with Linux.

Hi everyone, nice to meet you all : )

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
If it counts, Poochinski. It doesn't make an impact in the time that it exists for, but its existence alone is ridiculous enough to influence people far beyond its short life.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
It's the best representation of an abstract time I cannot know. I appreciate that it can stir feelings in me despite it describing an experience I can only perceive as an outsider. Something like that reminds me that no matter how long I live I can't know everything, but I may as well try feeling everything because that's close enough for a human being.

What subgenres are you most into?

I'm not kidding, elevator music is a big one for me. It makes me feel secure and stable; I also like Hypnogogic Drift.

How did you find out about this place?
Youtube! Parallel Pipes made a video that included the Fake Internet Theory and I was incredibly interested in the other esoteric articles on the site. I'm a Philosophy student with a leaning towards theories that tend to go against the grain, so it seemed like the place for me (especially with the depth that's shown in a lot of the posts here).

What do you do for fun?
I mostly read (anything and everything), but I'm also a big film buff. I like playing games like anyone else and while it's not my main interest and I tend to do other things, I love Tetris in particular. I'm looking to get into ambient noise recording and to get better at tabletop games like Mahjong.

Let me know if you like any of things, I'd love to talk to more like-minded people!

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?

Well, I've hardly ever watched sitcoms in my life, so I don't have good answers to the question, Futurama maybe? At least its most surreal and absurd aspects;

What does Vaporwave mean to you?

A kind of window to the past, trying to revive at least the memories of the same, remix of music from the 1980s with commercials, other contents of the time and retro-futurism are as if the subculture was trying to recreate memories of a collective imaginary;

What subgenres are you most into?


Maybe Fusion and City-Pop, Japan from the 1980s to the 2000s really has a different atmosphere, but in general I'm also pretty into anything that has a more experimental edge;

How did you find out about this place?


An acquaintance of mine put a generator of random links on his site, whenever you load the page, a new one appears that takes you somewhere, he found the forum, showed me some topics and since then I found the place interesting;

What do you do for fun?

Some creative hobbies like drawing, audiovisual editing, writing (more for world and concept creation than for literature), I like to explore anything that is strange;


Note: My user name and image may even refer to the infamous Moon Man character, but I make it clear that the similarity is only in appearance, I met the character more through SAINT PEPSI, I only use that name and image because I do not want to give a direct link this profile with my other content.

Meaningless garbage forced on me by other people?
Vaporwave is the embodiment of meaningless garbage forced on you by others? Or it gives you those vibes? Or the opposite vibes?

I just realized it's vaporwave.

I read the word as vaporware, as in garbage software that does nothing. Now I see that it is vapor wave, a genre of music perhaps? Honestly this is the first I've heard of it.

Personally, the following is some of my favorite vaporwave/vaporwave offshoot. Its not exactly traditional vaporwave, but it is recognized as an important piece of the vaporwave genre and community.

The following thread is a really good place to start if you haven't experienced vaporwave before and is actually what got me really into vaporwave and helped me find Blank Banshee.


Edit: corrected Blank Banshee link to full album
