Seinfeld, a bit of a cliche I know, but I've found myself in similar situations.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?

It's a hiding place for my mind, an idilic state of mind and the setting I always dream of.

What subgenres are you most into?

Mallsoft, VHS Pop and lately I'm enjoying utopian virtual and a good dose of signawave.

How did you find out about this place?

A vaporwave compilation called "VHS Beach" randomly popped up in my YouTube recommendations and the description linked me here.

What do you do for fun?

Make music (vaporwave too but mostly other genres) and search for old 80's scans and photographs :)

What are some of the Utopian Virtual albums you've been listening to? I really like the genre but it's hard to find new uv albums. Also you should post some of those scans and photos in the gallery board here if you haven't already, here's the link http://www.agoraroad.com/macforum/index.php?action=gallery

Home™ by PrismCorp Virtual Enterprises and lately this album https://luxurypools.bandcamp.com/releases

And also I'll post some of my favourite scans for your enjoyment :)

It looks more like a cartoon. Or like documentary about second world war, because I am living in Germany ;D.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
Nostalgic way to see the world and first of all to listen the music, to create it. It comes very natural. Just because we want still to stay kids somewhere in the mind.

What subgenres are you most into?
I think future funk.

I received e-mail. I was founded over our bandcamp page (deliniris.bandcamp.com)

Howdy, folks! I'm jankyswans, embarking on a musical journey that begins next week with the launch of my first ep, here:
https://jankyswans.bandcamp.com/

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
Eerie, Indiana

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
Vaporwave is meditation for me. I like to disappear in the music, to travel backwards in time through the events of my life.

What subgenres are you most into?
I like video-gamey, lofi, off-kilter nonsense.

How did you find out about this place?
Who doesn't know about the best vaporwave forum on the Internet?

What do you do for fun?
I place whirly beeps and swirly boops in an order that certain people might find appealing.

OK, let's dive headlong into this mayhem...lots of crap available at https://daccrowell.bandcamp.com/ that explains what's up better than words.

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
David Lynch's "On the Air". Only two episodes, but what an effing trainwreck!

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
Vaporwave is something of a process, by which I can take the past, fold it in on itself, and the "reality" emerges. Basically, I think a lot of the commercial music that hit the radio in the USA in the 1980s was utter trash...but when you start tampering with it, it's fascinating how it's possible to get it to make that statement itself! And by extension, that "soundtrack of your life" from that period can expose A LOT of what was problematic with that period of time once you start cutting it up and screwing with it.

What subgenres are you most into?
Climatewave, vapornoise, signalwave, vaporpsych, ambient vapor, quite a few others. Basically, I like pretty much everything I hear save for "lazywave"; music demands effort in my book.

How did you find out about this place?
Eis-T. It makes for a nice occasional change from the frequent poo-flinging that happens on the >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk sub, as promised.

What do you do for fun?
When possible, miniature golf and drugs. Preferably at the same time. Otherwise, I quite enjoy making music, although that's more "what I do" in general.

EDIT: Also, I've messed with amateur radio since...oh, hell, I don't even know now. Early 1970s, I think. And that kinda dovetails with the music, given that there's a lot of commonality between the electronics used in music and those used in radio communications. But I have to say, there is something amazing about taking 20 watts worth of properly-excited photons, bank-shotting them off the ionosphere somewhere over Venezuela, and talking with someone in central Argentina from my Illinois driveway. Cosmic billiards, baybee!

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
Frasier

What does Vaporwave mean to you?

It really evokes some strange emotions that I really can't describe. It's as close to going back to my youth and recapturing those memories of the 90s as I can get without a time machine.

What subgenres are you most into?

Definitely Mallwave

How did you find out about this place?

I honestly don't know how I found it. I think I saw the url in a signature on some old image board using the Wayback machine.

What do you do for fun?
I restore cars and also try to find places in my town that are still living in the 80s economic boom of Japan (another favorite feeling of mine.) and it turns out there is a lot of them over here in Shikoku.

Sup! I'm Kohl or kliffi and I've posted a few times but I just saw this thread!

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
Flight of the Conchords

"You don't measure up to the expectation
When you're unemployed, there's no vacation
No one cares, no one sympathizes
You just stay home and play synthesizers"

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
Music means everything to me and Vaporwave is the future of music... its like jazz but instead of chord changes its mp3s. I've never been more convinced that a genre has unlimited possibility.

What subgenres are you most into?
Slushwave, signalwave, dreampunk, post-VGM, ambient, classic vapor

How did you find out about this place?
Bandcamp!

What do you do for fun?
Outside music, I love to translate poetry and anything else, mostly from Chinese to English, play Earthbound, eat steak.

+ Hello Everyone, I'm Tenochca and here is my introduction +

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
Sadly I haven't watched enough shows to truly answer that, so, apologies. ;)

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
Trying to describe it is tough, but to me it means a combination between visual and auditory aesthetics that deliver nostalgia.

What subgenres are you most into?
My favorites are Mallsoft, Late nite Lo-Fi and Slushwave, I don't limit myself to only listen to these subgenres though.

How did you find out about this place?
Through Twitter, quite funny.

What do you do for fun?
Usually I play video games and try to make art, as going outside is not a good idea for the time being. I would like to get into making music.

hey everyone, missed this thread earlier :p

debut ep W E E K N I G H T S out tomorrow (7/17/20) on bandcamp and pretty much everywhere else: https://gogi93.bandcamp.com/

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
couldn't really say ... don't watch a lot of television outside of basketball these days. always liked Corner Gas though.

What does vaporwave mean to you?
i think for me it really captures a lot of experiences from my childhood, either ones i personally had or ones i only imagined. going to the mall with my mom, playing old nintendo games in my best friend's basement, hanging around outside. memories the way they're remembered, not necessarily the way they actually were. sometimes it's better that way.

What subgenres are you most into?
honestly, most of them. ambient, chillwave, mallsoft, climatewave, midiwave, classic vapor, vgm, naturewave, utopian virtual, and pretty much anything by windows96 or 猫 シ Corp.; personally i can't say i've connected emotionally in quite the same way with vaportrap or future funk, but i don't mind those either.

How did you find out about this place?
despite it being only a month or so ago i actually can't remember, but probably reddit.

What do you do for fun?
basketball, video games, fossils.

Hello, my name is Janxferz. (Jane-ks-ferz) Now let's get into answering these questions!

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
Seinfeld, because people say I open a door like Kramer

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
To me, Vaporwave is a synonym for nostalgia. Whether it's fake, 80's, 90's, or early 2000's, Vaporwave is a bizarre but quite calming music genre that's all about aesthetic.

What subgenres are you most into?
Future Funk and Chillwave as of right now.

How did you find out about this place?
I was emailed through my Bandcamp page about being invited to the August 2020 Music Artists Thread (Back to School) Edition!

What do you do for fun?
Play video games, work ON a game I'm making, and make music.

Hello, my (artist) name is Mr. Fuji, and I started making electronic music in 2018. I just released an album this year, called Shades. I use Ableton Live 10 and I read one book called Music Theory for Computer Musicians. It was really helpful.

What cancelled sitcom best describes your life?
Probably Workaholics was the closest thing to describing my life a long time ago, but it wasn't even that close. I don't really like sitcoms except for Tim and Eric's Beef Boys.

What does Vaporwave mean to you?
It's a cool, interesting genre. My favorite Vaporwave artists are Blank Banshee and Vaperror.

What subgenres are you most into?
Japanese jazz/lo-fi like Nujabes, Uyama Hiroto, and re:plus. I am also inspired by Shlohmo, Clams Casino, Teebs, and others.

How did you find out about this place?
I got an email about it after I released something on Bandcamp.

What do you do for fun?
Make music and play tennis
