Is vaporwave dead?
>>64641140
yeah because people take that shit actually seriously
>>64641150
isn't that a good thing?
>>64641140
only to people who care about scene drama and retarded bullshit
vaporwave is as dead as any other genre
there will always be new music
POST SOME GOOD VAPORWAVE YOU RAD CUNTS
>>64641140
Vaporwave has been dead for years. Post-vaporwave is alive and well though.

please
>>64643346
it's virtual music
>>64643346
vaporwave is objectively music
>>64643380
Depends what you define as music. If it's not artistic expression and just thinly veiled irony and satire...
>>64643406
>If it's not artistic expression and just thinly veiled irony and satire...
Not involved in determining what is music.
>>64643406
that depends on the album
shit like mac+ is the latter but there's more to vaporwave than that.
>>64643406
So you're telling me Weird Al Yankovic isn't a musician?
>>64643459
Weird Al isn't purely satire though, it's like a remix of the song and the remix happens to make fun of the song
>>64643514
>remix
The word you are looking for is "cover".
>>64643528
No cover is strictly the same song
>>64643536
You don't know what a remix is.
>>64643514
>Weird Al isn't purely satire though
Neither is vaporwave, if anything, even the most ironic vaporwave albums are far less scathing than Weird Al's covers.
>>64641140
Yes, as well it should be because Blank Banshee was the only artist who actually made worthwhile music in the genre.
It's still a great visual artform, just a shit musical one.
>>64641140
no
>>64643742
vaportrap is wigger shit
only futurefunk is good
>>64643766
future funk is literally the worst offshoot
too much anime
too much shit
>>64643769
it's literally the best
most fun
most anime
most aesthetic
>take old 80's commercial
>slow it down and play shitty slowed down lounge music over it
>rinse and repeat for almost every song and album made
Yeah this genre was bound to die fast.

Have a great weekend. These tits are vaporous i wanna get lost in them. TOP KEK
i for one am proud of the young twinks of our generation taking the initiative to at least try making something that they can call their own, it's the effort and drive that counts
vaporwave was dead the moment of its birth.
never had anything to do with the stuff that influenced it, or the things that were then written about it.
>>64641140
Vaporwave is dead, and synthwave is in!

No you ain't hard, you're just trying to leech money off of /mu/tants who want to feel more edgy and underground than the others.
You have less artistic integrity and guts than an early 2000s radio pop band.
>>64647876
im not him you fag
Im just a young autist whos more edgy and undderground than you
>>64647916
if you wanna be edgy and underground make your fucking own hard vaporwave and sell it on bandcamp without his supervision and without hopping onto his lame scheme.
>>64647746
I'm >>64647729
As if I'd get my lazy ass off the chair to grab my sax and make a tune and transpose from there. Eat it.
Hardvapour is Wolfenstein OSX's pathetic attempt to distance himself from Vaporwave in order to get signed to bigger labels while still pandering to the internet crowd that made him famous.
It's a very transparent, shallow and boring promotional move on his part, posturing as "progressive" and "extreme" artistic move.
AND IT'S JUST SHITTY GABBER WITH FILTERS ON IT.
Only a small handful of tracks produced by all his guests are somewhat cool.
And as for his aesthetic, it's pitifully uninspired. He saw that vaporwave had gook letters, so he put cyrillic letters instead. He saw that vaporwave had pink, so he put turquoise instead. And that's it, apart from that, it's just shitty bedroom gabber with the same edgy song names that don't refer to anything.
There's no nostalgia, no immersion in a specific time period or culture, there's no ruin aesthetic, and there's no pop appeal, there's none of the redeeming factors of vaporwave, only WOSX's giant ego masquerading as artistic integrity and boldness.
And the worst part is that the concept of harsh/angry vaporwave has potential, as an offshoot of industrial music or something, that would draw inspiration from the multiple countercultures of the late 80s/early 90s. He could easily have made something consistent with the weeaboo theme of vaporwave by using ultraviolent anime visuals or someshit.
But he didn't, because if he had done that, he wouldn't have been able to declare "vaporwave is dead" and attract attention from teenage music journalists from the internet.
Don't waste your time listening to "hardvapour". Make your own angry vaporwave.
You may use this as a copypasta and spread it around as a warning against this slimy commercial move.

No it's just at bandcamp obscurity. No value is lost.

If Vaporwave is dead, then music is dead
no, you can still record it to a VHS and then play it back on a VCR with dirty heads to make it better
Vaporwave is just a meme all along
