that's nothing

a kid in my computer class last year changed his desktop to /mu/ memes every so often once he found out i also go on /mu/

the worst one was some aaron selfie. another kid in our class asked who it was and he said "the king of memes"

i was listening to a lecture and this prick leans towards the guy sitting next to me and tells him to log on to reddit. he tells him to log onto /r/redpill. he tells him it is the place where "the memes are real", with no other explanation, laughing to himself, probably thinking "wow he is so confused. my internet friends will think this is hysterical due to the 'inside' nature of this joke. nobody is in on the fun".

there are many other things to dislike about this kid.

Reminder that if you still Floral Shoppe as the signpost of Vaporwave, you're so behind the times you probably still wear Heelies.

It's alright. You can tell who's payed attention to where the genre is heading, and they aren't listening to Mac Plus, Saint Pepsi, and Blank Banshee. Other fans have already moved on to better, more palatable artists in the scene. Sounds pretentious but mac plus isnt very good, go listen to laserdisc visions or fuji grid tv instead those are much better

normies have literally pillaged 4chan "culture". Pepe is one of the normiest memes now, that says a lot.
As for vaporwave. It's because of the whole "a e s t h e t i c" movement in tumblr that owes everything to vaporwave. It's shit.
>>
>>63918649
4chan and parts of tumblr have essentially the same audience. the only difference culturally is the lack of anonymity, therefore a somewhat normie level of political correctness. denying the fact that about 30% of 4chan memes originate on tumblr would be foolish, you fool.
>>
>>63918687
t h i s
only certain boards on 4chan tho
like this one and /fa/, /soc/, /lit/, etc.

/pol/ and /r9k/ are as far away from tumblr as you can get tho (they are both hugbox echo chambers like tumblr but on the exact opposite of the spectrum)

does anyone remember that poor, chubby middle school kid who /mu/ harassed briefly?

i think it started by someone posting his soundcloud and then all of his other accounts were found

he was 100% corrupted by memes and they were mostly from /mu/... lots of fantano references

it was extremely funny until it turned tragic when in typical fashion someone felt the need to link the poor boy to all the threads that were made about him
>>
>>63918687
4chan, Reddit, Tumblr, and "ironic" Facebook are all the same exact people.

Tumblr and FB just have more feminists.
>>

You mean the guy who literally had pics of him in a skincap trying to mimic Cal Chuchesta on Instagram

>>63918687
I'm not shitting on tumblr here. But as soon as it hits tumblr it hits a wider audience, and before you know it - normiegram and Facebook by users who don't know better. I saw the "/bg/ not /gg/ meme on tumblr with over 100k notes. I highly doubt 100k+ people are going to know about /bg/ and /gg/ kek

4chan is nowhere near an obscure website anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if 1/3 of the userbase here were also browsers of tumblr and reddit

Vaporwave never was meant to be contained, but to be expanded upon. If a 'normie' starts listening to vaporwave, we only have another force pushing for progressiveness.

default subreddits and places like /r/hiphopheads are full of pasty white dorks so it'd fit.

>vaporwave is a parody of a consumerist capitalist dystopia
>if it becomes popular, big record companies might want to capitalize on it
>invest millions of dollars into marketing, appealing to this hip new trend
>new "subculture" takes over the entire west
>millions will idolize it as a form of rebellion, yet rigidly conform to various aspects of this "subculture", much like corporate-funded "subcultures" of the past
>high schools will be filled with windows 95 t shirts, pastel pinks, shitty futuristic shades, geocities-style jewelry that lights up with LEDs, children unironically carrying marble busts from class to class
>vaporwave becomes only genre on billboard top 50, played on all the radio stations
>corporations spend more money pumping out vapid A E S T H E T I C shit in order to appeal to the masses and satisfy their shallow desire for a certain image
>fat cats make millions, while the world population wallows in destitution, unaware of their misfortune
>they're too busy indulging in that dank vaporwave culture, admiring their own aesthetics as they begin to starve

don't you see? this is all part of the vaporwave dream. we are approaching utopia.

all this thread has taught me that for some reason people here care still about vaporwave's obscurity (despite its popularity growth like 2 years ago) and memes and are surprised that ironically shitting about memes all the time on 4chan led to others genuinely shitting about memes

this happened in 2009 once before but without the irony, 4chan was pissed and was embarrassed then, and now you "cringe" because the internet repeats the same mistakes

normies take and ruin anything thats cool. thus the cycle continues. except now because of the internet, it happens way faster, so shit has to evolve at a higher rate. its insane i cant even imagine what culture will be like in 5 years. people gonna be wearing iphone hats and drinking lean slurpees riding electric bikes and sandals and shit. i dont even know.
