What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?

Honetly not sure, dont really watch or have watch sitcoms so its hard to say. Ives watched friends and i have friends so there is that


What does Vaporwave mean to you?

Vaporwave for me is music to clear my head, it reminds me of stars above, dreaming about traveling thru space, memories to cherish and to always move forward in life. Sounds cheesey i know but those are the things that come in mind.


What subgenres are you most into?

Hmmm i guess its a music question. So right now I have been listeining to lots of the orb (chill/electronica) and random hardcore edm/electronic) but my go to classics would be breakcore, grunge (not just Nirvana!), whatever genre Beach Bunny is in and happy hardcore (cringe, I know)
But for vaporwave, definitely future funk.


How did you find out about this place?

I think it was from /hap/ about dead internet.


What do you do for fun?

Drive around and go on dates :D
Oi oi tell us about the date stories lad. Scored any nice birds as of late?

What does Vaporwave mean to you? - It makes me feel warm and comfy and nostalgic, that deadmall vibe.

How did you find out about this place? - I've seen it around on various links pages but I decided to stop in and see what it's like. I'm usually more of the lurker type.

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
I don't/haven't really watched a lot of sitcoms, especially any that I relate to. I do like some of the funnier mainstream ones like IT Crowd, the Office, and Parks and Rec.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
Good, largely out-of-the-mainstream music/aesthetic. I enjoy the surrealist aspect; I try not to give in too much to the sway of nostalgia, but I have the opinion that certain time periods that vaporwave...enshrines (?) were indeed much better times to be on the web than currently. It was a bit before my time, but things such as current web bloat, globohomo artstyles, and social media updoot mentality inform my opinion here as well as the more unique, varied, personal, and colorful websites that I've seen when searching for old-web type websites.....crap I'm on a tangent. That happens a lot with me.
My favorite type of music has always been classical music; I was unable to find a lot of vaporwave online when I was getting into it about a year or two ago (inexperienced, I guess). Vaporwave and classical music are both relaxing to me; classical music is very beautiful to me & vaporwave has a more "dreamy" appeal.

What subgenres are you most into?
From my little exposure to it (it's hard to find copious amounts of vaporwave on Youtube without knowing where/how to look), I like mallsoft and synth stuff, but also have had good experience with slush wave.

How did you find out about this place?
4chan. I escaped (>inb4 you can never leave) but go back once a month or so, usually to /g/. I was asking a question, and perused around for a couple minutes. Someone suggested this in a thread about old-web type forums, something I like but that is very hard to find. Social media is gar-baggio and 4chan can get a little too.. chaotic, but these types of forums are nice. I'm also trying to dip my toes into IRC, at the moment.

What do you do for fun?
Big movie enjoyer, but try not to watch too much. I have started a homeserver recently and I really like working with Linux, so that usually keeps me more occupied than I have time for.

Some type of indescribable nostalgia where I miss a period of time, or something, that I was never able to truly experience.

I also host a website over at http://www.sitzkrieg.xyz/ (sorry, it is HTTP not HTTPS. I do not have the amount of control I would like to have from the hosting aspect of things. )

Nostalgia. A lot of it is for times I never even experienced, but I don't know another word to describe it.

A guestbook signature! (Thank you to whoever linked back to me :`) I did the same a while back! I'm only just now posting tho)

I watch a lot of anime/read manga/listen to music.(lame lol) but I also like to draw and browse the web! My favorite sites are forums and personal sites or blogs like on neocities.
I don't leave the house a lot but I like to go to thrift stores and buy vhs tapes and bootleg anime. Lately I've been finding a lot of joseph lai stuff and it's hilarious <3

hi everyone! i'm alexandra. nice to meet all of you. :)

what does Vaporwave mean to you? to me, it's an ironic take on consumer capitalism that builds on nostalgia to create something new. i'm a casual fan of vaporwave as an aesthetic and music genre, but i'm moreso living it through creating "web 1.0" websites focusing on personal interests and self-expression, encouraging unplugging from corporate media (including social media), and decentralizing the internet.

how did you find out about this place? the yesterweb ring!

what do you do for fun? code, travel, learn about history, metaphysics and practical ethics, write essays

I consider most types of cartoons to be sitcoms, so probably Chowder.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?

I think that it is a kind of icon how most media and content is in the post-internet world. Referential permutations without shame.

What subgenres are you most into?

All about my cloudrap and pop punk/easycore.

How did you find out about this place?

I unironically can't remember and it was just today lol. I think a thread showed up while I was looking for a CSS guide.

What do you do for fun?

I'm in a kind of migration period from being a stagnant vidyagamer and general consumer. I've been fiddling around with digital art and making video stuff. It's not very good yet but it is fun. Building my own domain has been part of these endeavors.

Cancelled sitcom: I wish I could say the Simpsons

Vaporwave: A fun and experimental genre that reminds me of old PC games (then again I guess that's the point)

Subgenres: I don't really do subgenres. I tend to just go for broad genres like rock and funk (mainly rock)

Found this place: I found out about it through the dead internet theory.

Fun: I mostly just read and string together long and often times contradicting social theories

I don't think it's possible for a sitcom to describe one's life because a show, unlike real life, is inherently designed to be a narrative for the benefit of a viewer. That said, the final season of Samurai Jack (not a sitcom I guess) was an excellent reflection on the loss of purpose that many of us feel once we're beyond the childhood/adolescent years during which we watch the earlier seasons.

What does Vaporwave mean to you? What subgenres are you most into?
Nothing, I've only stumbled across it once or twice on youtube. That wasn't what brought me here and I hope I'm not diluting your forum by being here.

How did you find out about this place?
The dead internet theory thread was posted on hackernews. I've been interested in that for a while and when I was reading the thread I noticed the level of conversation here was a breath of fresh air, so I did some browsing and I'd like to stick around.

What do you do for fun?
I like climbing, mathematics, and I spend a lot of time shitposting but I'm not sure I'd say I enjoy it.

Good morrow to you all fair fellow travelers ! My name is Saint-John Smythe.

To introduce myself, I have chosen to answer only one question, not because I enjoy not complying to the rules but because the answer to this question is the only one which tells something about me.

What does vaporwave mean to you ?

To me, vaporwave is an escape to a reality that will never be real. It is a memory of a time that I have never known. It is a mirage, a vision of the world that is distorted by our dreams and our unconscious. Vaporwave, to summarize, is a universe of fakeness.
However, as fake as this universe may be, it is a true remedy for the decadent souls such as me. And I will never thank enough all the geniuses of the community who have produced the best kind of music and created the best artworks for a decade.

Hello, If you want to discover more vaporwave songs, I highly recommend you to check the YouTube channel Vapor memory which contains thousands of very interesting albums. There are also some good channels that post songs individually like Soundstation or Artzie music.
