What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?

Red Green Show. Not a sitcom in the strictest definition, but the best description of my failed DIY attempts so far.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?

Nostalgia. I didn't listen to vaporwave in my childhood, it was an integral part of my entertainment, from sci-fi video games, to sci-fi TV and sci-fi anime.

What subgenres are you most into?

I still don't listen to vaporwave, so I don't really have any ideas about sub-genres. Lately I've been enjoying some jazz, mostly from video game soundtracks.

How did you find out about this place?

The Dead Internet Theory.

What do you do for fun?

For entertainment it's usually an RPG, both virtual and tabletop, and some MTG. My primary hobby has been writing short stories to build my own fictional world, and I'm still terrible at it.

Hello to you all

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
Not a sitcom person but if I had to pick a series I'd say cowboy bebop.
More an aspiration that an actual description though.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
Nothing, funnily enough. Although I do love the overall aesthetic around the genre.

What subgenres are you most into?
Honestly, I'm not knowledgeable enough to pick subgenres.
I mostly go with the flow and don't pay too much attention to what a specific thing is.
Also terms are confusing. I just enjoy the content.

How did you find out about this place?
I'm very into independent web and I landed here after bouncing around a bunch of very odd websites and one of them was pointing to this site. My first though was "well this definitely look like an odd looking website so let me sign up and see what these people are up to"

What do you do for fun?
Walk around forests, write blog posts, code websites, make random internet connections with people around the world

Hi all, I'm new here and thought I would post here to introduce myself.

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
To be honest, I haven't watched a lot of sitcoms that could really represent my life. I am a university student, so I guess Community would be somewhat fitting?

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
It's a genre I haven't looked into in terms of music, but the aesthetic speaks to me. It feels almost like a dream, but also somewhat comfy? A dream-like liminal space with brighter colours. I love the 80s retro theme and it feels almost nostalgic to me, though I definitely did not grow up in the 80s.

What subgenres are you most into?
Dreamcore, Cozy, Comfy, Liminal spaces and so on - these are all aesthetics I'm into

How did you find out about this place?
Found this site whilst browsing /x/, the site was linked there on a post about deep ocean (weird, I know).
I'm a big fan of throwback Internet designs and themes, and love the community feel of a smaller, lesser-known forum.

What do you do for fun?
I'm a fitness fanatic, and also just like drinking and hanging out with my mates.
I really need to get out and do more lol.

Yo yo yo! Can't wait to start hanging out here.

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
I grew up with King of Queens, Seinfeld and The Office. It wasn't until I watched It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Trailer Park Boys that realized what situational comedy meant. I don't think my life specifically aligns with any of those shows but they do give a little insight into my sense of humor and cinematic tastes.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
1/21/2011, the day Portlandia premiered on IFC. Washed Out's "Feel It All Around" slaps me in the face. CHILLWAVE hits my ears for the first time. Up to that point I had been totally lost when it came to music. Vaporwave is one of the many new genres that I'd discover for myself. To me it simply means good music. Music that allows the imagination to expand.

What subgenres are you most into?
Chillwave & lo-fi.

How did you find out about this place?
The FB whistleblower confirmed some of my suspicions about "big tech". The internet is dead, fake and most likely being run by some form of early AI. Found an article that talks about this conspiracy in more depth and I followed it to a post on here called Dead Internet Theory: Most of the Internet is Fake. Now I'm here!

What do you do for fun?
Video games with my brothers who are spread out all over the country. Ski, hike, bike and other outdoor activities. I also am always hunting for new sounds and musicians. When I have the time and the money I plan on using some of my musical talents to take a stab at producing some music of my own. If 1 person gets the enjoyment out of my music that I've gotten from some of the creators in this Vaporwave genre that'll be enough.

The Inbetweeners, it's a British comedy but look it up its great, especially how it portrays British schoolboy culture.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?

Vaporwave represents an era gone by of the old internet that we crave but we never get back so we encapsulate into music or something like that.

What subgenres are you most into?

I really, really like City Pop, I even collect the CDs (never been big on vinyl).

How did you find out about this place?

/x/ board, someone posted a link to here and the rest is history.

What do you do for fun?
I enjoy fitness, reading, gardening, listening to music, gaming, seeing mates, and going to the pub.

Hi, i'm here to talk about vaporwave, improve my english and browse some threads like i did 10-15 years ago.

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?

Not really a sitcom but Sense8 has to be my favorite tv show ever. There's something about it that i can't explain, it just speaks to me on a level that no other series has reached so far.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?

To me it's more than a music genre or aesthetic. It embodies this feeling of nostalgia of a period i've never experienced, through the lens of nowadays problematics. It's about how they perceived the world and the future back then. It used to be cooler and simplier.

What subgenres are you most into?

I really enjoy slushwave and mallsoft, the slower the better. It puts me in this state of meditation i enjoy. Looking at the clouds, taking the time to do nothing. When i have to be active i usually listen to some Citypop, Future funk or Synthwave.

How did you find out about this place?

Someone talked about this place in a Vapor Memory's Youtube comment section.

What do you do for fun?

I watch movies, listen to music, play video games. The usual. My motto is "time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time."

Hello! I'm Neonriser. It all started when I visited JAUP (Another Useless Webpage) and checked its latest additions. After clicking enough links, I ended up here!

To me, Vaporwave is... its own thing. It is a mix of 90s nostalgia with some bright, neon colours.

I enjoy coding, drawing, and playing video games. Right now I am doing an online college course on website design! Rad!

Hi, my name is Laohu and I hate introducing myself. I'm 20, interested in a variety of things and german. My grammar could be a bit messed up from time to time, but active practice is the best way to actually learn imho.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
I appreciate it's existence. In my opinion, it only brought good things to the online world. It is good for relaxation on one hand, and it invites to philosophize on the other.
What subgenres are you most into?
There are none that I particulary dislike, soo..

4chan
What do you do for fun?
Reading, walks in the woods, meditating, vidya, surfing the web, have a drink with frens.. just quite basic stuff I guess.

Well To start off I'm a 28 yo female, married 10 years with 3 kids. I found this forum through learning about the dead internet theory which I found not only interesting and plausible but it also resparked an old idea that has been in the back of my mind for the last 6-7 years or so, which led me to this forum. I plan on posting my thoughts on a few of my own theories later ;) You see I've always been fascinated with the different theories that ive stumbled across in my life, not just for the theories themselves but I also wonder about why the creator of each theory would think the way they do and what kind of events would lead them to these conclusions. I like to think of it almost like researching backwards. I dont always subscribe to the theories I learn about, some are just silly ideas, but always fun to read no matter how crazy or convoluted they get. I find alot of them have small nuances that trigger a response in my mind that really starts me thinking and questioning even the most mundane of topics. I used to talk about these theories with my husband and i really enjoyed the intellectual conversations it got us having. In our teen years we would spend countless nights up discussing what we stumbled upon that day and shared our thoughts on it which would inevitably lead to more questions. We dont really disciss these things like we used to, partially because adult life is busy with alot of tasks that can't be ignored so the time we used to have to really talk together just isnt there anymore. There are other reasons I'll discuss later as well but its basically what led me to this place. I honestly miss these crazy discussions we would have and I feel like I need a place where I can be free to question and theorize the things that grab at my mind sometimes. I love going on deep dives into ideas so if anyone has any really good ones they wanna point me towards please let me know! I also will be adding a few theories that people ive met personally through work and life have come up with and done research on, and ill give my own thoughts on those as well because theres a couple that are really out there lol. sorry for the long intro, but hope to get to know some of you and maybe finally have a place and some people to bounce my ideas off of and see what comes of it.
