Vaporwave is really powerful in what it brings to me, I've recently got a bunch of bandcamp albums on my phone and just taking walks. It just makes me remember past events of my life, depending on the music.
Anything by II nothing II makes me remember living in my home town in Indiana where it was always gloomy and rainy. But I remember it positively through that lens, so in a way, I've found it to be a coping mechanism of the past. I can't talk too much about my personal life (bc I find it sorta obnoxious) but certain vaporwave makes me confront my past, I think about childhood, struggles, getting lost in the forest one time. It does all these things because pure music doesn't necessarily make me think of specific memories. It's the distorted crunchy sampling that replicates feelings of past events to me.
