What cancelled sitcom best describes your life? I wouldn't quite call it a sitcom, but I have to go with Venture Brothers on Adult Swim, got cancelled way too soon and i love its word building and its multitude of pop culture references, feels like having a great conversation with a friend, who is in sync with your mind.

What does Vaporwave mean to you? Vaporwave makes me really melancholy for a dream I don't quite remember having. It's that sweet feeling of having a fantastic dream you wish was real, and the nostalgic pain of realising it's not actual. When I first discovered vaporwave, I was really excited for something that reaffirms what travelling through life feels like, being disconnected, having anxiety, longing for the past, wondering if there's another version of you in another time, but also feeling hopeful that there are other people online that get the same feelings you do, like when you post a meme that other people relate to and communicating with strangers online through memes. For context, first vaporwave album I heard was Saint Pepsi's empire Building the second time I went to Japan and was smoking cheap cigarettes and exploring the streets at night.

What subgenres are you most into? I like ambient vaporwave like 20814 birth of a new day and vaportrap, witch house and future funk like Sailorwave by Macross plus

How did you find out about this place? Wanted to find a place like an old online forum that talks about this stuff and basically searched for it, cause feel like Facbook has absorbed the internet and killed a lot of stuff like this.

What do you do for fun? I like making music and listening to new music. I collect records and mod headphones/ collect them. I also like walking around at night and watching Frasier, tim n eric, the venture brothers, obviously seinfeld and garth mahrenghi's darkplace.

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life? Punky Brewster

What does Vaporwave mean to you? Vaporwave reminds me of my childhood and hometown. My dad had a friend at work that would make him mixes of techno music from Europe and Japan from 1998-2002 and these CDs/that music feels heavily related to vaporwave to me.

What subgenres are you most into? Utopian? Anything relating to architecture or the built environment

How did you find out about this place? There's a tiktok account that breaks down niche aesthetics and I googled one of them that she mentioned and it brought me here.

What do you do for fun? I like to write Wikipedia pages for buildings or people who don't have them.

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
I don't watch much TV but I've been reaaaallly into FireFly lately and I think I could enjoy it in that universe.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
Frankly, I'm more of a Future Funk kind of guy. I also really like Bluegrass and other folks-y music. I do still like vaporwave, though. It gives me a weirdly ironic anti-consumerist feeling. A twinge of nostalgia, like being in the supermarket with my mom as a kid. Kind of a capture of a time when things were simpler I suppose?

I'll go a little off the rails here since I'm not as into Vaporwave:

I'm into learning new stuff, reading about stuff, trying to brainstorm new solutions, etc. Making myself look like an idiot is my favorite way to learn. My current goal in life is to buy some remote property and get a nice little area set up where I can be more self-sufficient/DIY and mess around with fun experiments. I joined this place because I missed the old internet and this reminded me a lot of it.

Im currently re-addicted to Scrubs again, so im just going to say Scrubs because my brain is blanking out on anything else
What does Vaporwave mean to you?
a LOT. i got into vaporwave when the macintosh plus meme was popular in 2015/2016 and have consistently been a fan since then. I actually have been working on a vaporwave-inspired story since then, but i recently gave up because of several things (events in it ended up being too similar to ENA. kinda ruined that for me because it was a similar concept. there goes almost 6 years of work lol. i feel empty)
What subgenres are you most into?
future funk and mallsoft!!!
How did you find out about this place?

What do you do for fun?
art and story creation that i end up never doing anything with

I don't usually watch sitcoms but I'd say It's Always Sunny
What does Vaporwave mean to you?
For me, Vaporwave is a gateway to a hazy nostalgia of the 90's. It's a coddling artform that allows me to transport myself to familiar, yet novel mindsets of my youth.
What subgenres are you most into?
Vaportrap, mallsoft, future funk, and of course classic. There's so many others I can't really think of which I like the most.
How did you find out about this place?
Google search for a vaporwave fourm so I can desert 4chan and >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk for awhile
What do you do for fun?
I enjoy writing, reading fiction, jogging, yoga, graphic design, videogames, making spotify playlists, and hiking
