Thanksgiving is almost over, and Christmas is coming right afterwards. So, to get ourselves into- well, you know the spirit -- I've decided to organize a Christmas collab for Agora Road! In essence, the collaboration is to be a visual playlist of Christmas-themed vaporwave (or vaporwave-themed Christmas) songs and visuals. Here's how it works:

There are two entry categories: Audio and Visual.
Audio entries are simple: Make a vaporwave mix of any Christmas (or Christmas-ish) song. This can be as complex as a DDS.wmv-style comedown of 5 samples at once, or as simple as a B****r B**ts "slowed and reverbed" edit. The standards and limits are up to you!
Visual entries are also simple: Make a Christmas-related vaporwave aesthetic. There's a bit more flexibility to this one, thanks to the fact that "visual" is a broader term. It could be a static image, a looping animation, or a music video for someone else's audio entry. If the latter is your ambition, keep in mind that you'll probably be waiting for the other person to finish their audio entry before you can get started, so PLEASE don't bite off more than you can chew. It would be disappointing and sad for yourself and everyone else.

Work together!
The best collabs are... well, collaborative. Each visual entry will accompany an audio entry, and vice-versa. Don't just throw an image or song out there without caution; see if you can make it work with something that someone else is making! Don't be afraid to post your WiPs in the thread or share them with someone you'd want to partner with for your entry. If you sincerely doubt your skills, see if you can work with someone on their entry (e.g. drawing a character for someone else's visual entry. Be sure they credit you!).

Newfags need not apply.
Listen, I understand that you guys are enthusiastic about this place, I really do-- I was just like you when I first got here. But something I learned with the Family Photo thread is that people are all too eager to jump in on something to make themselves feel a part of it, but then fail to follow through with posting anything else on the forums. This is a community event, and as such, you need to actually be a part of the community. If your account was created on or after Sep. 22, then FUCK OFF, WE'RE FULL wait around for the next event and LURK MOAR enjoy the forums in the meantime.

Entries are due by Dec. 23rd, whereupon I'll edit everything into one video and hopefully get it out on the 24th or 25th. If I somehow can't get it done by that point, then we'll rebrand it as a New Year's special and upload it on the 31st (or 1 Jan, if you live in a lucky timezone).

And finally, here's a table for who's doing what with whom. I'll be updating it as progress is made:

I'll pay 100 Agoracoins to whoever adds me to a visual entry, mostly because I suck at editing. Promise.

Hey sign me up! I'm in the game jam right now but the day I go to make music for it I think I could cook up a little something and I love it when we make something as a group! so sign me up for audio at the moment and if no one signs up for me visually then I can do that as well :3 Whatever to help get this out the door!~

Fun idea, put me down for audio! Same as deadchief, if we are lacking visuals I could whip something up for that too.
I can contribute visuals for whatever it is you're making (probably either a still image or a very basic animation), although if you're planning on doing them yourself I would be willing do do it for someone else too.

Yeah go for it, I think I'm gonna make an alvin and the chipmunks agora remix so make whatever you think would go well with that. I haven't recorded it yet but I can share the lyrics with you if you think it'll help (they are very retarded)

Sorry for it being so late but here is my audio submission for the album!

SONG IS HERE <-------

You should be able to download the file from soundcloud or listen to it there for visual inspiration!
Cant wait to see what you come up with Alix!

As for the song itself, I tried to make a little vaporwave remix of last christmas by Wham!. Can't wait to hear and see what everyone has got!

I'm still planning on contributing, it just might be a bit closer to the deadline (like the 20th or 21st).

Made a few changes to the song, to the point where I'd consider it complete. I've separated it into two segments to allow for a dramatic pause:


Love these! Great job both of you!

OfficialTM Lyrics
[A] gora, 'gora time is here
Time for posts and time for cheer
We've been lurking, we've been chill
Fuck off newfag, fuck off shill

Want a thread about the trans
[Alvin:] Me, I want agora chan
[Chipmunks:]
We can hardly stand the bait
Please 'gora don't be late

I'm working on an intentionally terrible and shitposty video for this, but I didn't have a lot of time today to work on it. @GENOSAD what's the deadline for submissions tomorrow?

This is insane. When agora dies this will the credits track. Genuine cultural artifact. We were here.
