Thre is no problem with that some songs are really cool! It's just that the people who said that about vaporwave are usually people who only listen to youtube recomendations lmao.Yeah, and I say this as someone who likes the math rock lo-fi mixes ahahaha
Same, it's a shame, i really liked the t.a.tu witch house remixes.I fucking love witch house but I can't find any new releases!!! Sad.
They say that with any genre or subculture that falls out of the mainstream limelight. Nothing to worry about.
I think this is a good way to put it. Maybe some memey subgenres are dead, but the ethos and aesthetic as a whole has stood the test of time, and I think it'll continue to do so into the future. It's such a cultural element of the internet at this point.
Vaporwave is very alive, even if it's not as popular as it used to be.
Yeah, and I say this as someone who likes the math rock lo-fi mixes ahahaha
Or seapunk. It's sad to be forgotten. It's the fine line between vaporwave and Hyperpop. It's more spiritual than corporate.
The saying comes from when vaporwave was generally considered a meme even by fans of the genre. as memes do, they die. people thought vaporwave was bound to die or was already dead once the perceived novelty worn off on the people just in it for laughs. Of course, people take this genre seriously and creators put hard work, effort, and passion into their projects, so at most vaporwave may have started as a joke (as we will never really know how serious Vektroid or OPN were about this new genre they were a part of making), but at that point it had really spoken to people. art that speaks to people doesn't die, at least not easily, and even then the idea lives on and other people can still connect with it. with how big of a community we have, vaporwave will never die out. People can think vaporwave is dead all they want, it obviously isn't something worth their time in their minds.
I hope that provided more insight than the usual "Vaporwave has always been dead long live vaporwave hahaha 420" that is often the common reply to this subject any time its brought up.
I do. Signalwave as a concept really intrigues me and I'm always fascinated by its execution. The only other subgenre I can say does this more for me is Segahaze, but at this point, releases are so incredibly rare that it's hard to enjoy as a whole genre.I wish I could like this post 10000 times. Lol do u have a favorite sub genre by the way ?
I loved it breh. Part of what killed it is people couldn't decide on exactly what it was supposed to be and it got to be considered too much of a meme based on A E S ✝ H E ☨ I C Z, if I had to come up with a reason. b-warez!!U like witch house music ? I think I seen pad chennington talk about it .
oceangrunge was another good oneOr seapunk. It's sad to be forgotten. It's the fine line between vaporwave and Hyperpop. It's more spiritual than corporate.
If anything Vaporwave is the zeitgeist of underground internet aesthetics. People don't listen as much anymore, but Vaporwave has permeated through vast swaths of the internet. You can go almost anywhere and see the glitched out, retro-future 80s aesthetics that are our bread and butter(If you look hard enough). I've even seen Vaporwave aesthetics on ads on billboards. Think about it this way. The Velvet Underground and Nico only sold about 100,000 copies upon its initial run (less than an average YouTube video), but it's considered one of the most influential albums in the history of rock music. Only a few people need to actually see us in order to take inspiration from us. Therefore, if we can create good and interesting art, the few people that see us will probably steal from us when creating their works. The point of underground art movements is not to be popular, but to be interesting. Keep an eye open, you may see some works inspired by something made by one of us in the future. Vaporwave is still a popular aesthetic and its themes are still very relevant.
What is "corporate backed bullshit"?I am glad that those who claim vaporwave is dead are kept out of the genre and are free to listen to their generalized corporate backed bullshit.
Do we really want vaporwave to be "alive" in the middling minds of the normie?
Anything I don't like.What is "corporate backed bullshit"?
