>dude it's ironic it's SUPPOSED to be shitty it's a commentary on hypercapitalism and e-asia consumerism technopolis circa 1997
Why can't vaporfags just acknowledge it's a meme? It's nothing to be ashamed of.
>>65379985
Because that would mean they're wrong. Nobody wants to be wrong in this world, Anon
>>65379985
no fag, it's just supposed to make you feel nostalgic
Did you see how quickly vaporwave exploded? There is a genuine fascination with the style itself and the emotions underneath.
People who call vaporwave a "meme" arrived after mid 2015 and have no clue what they're talking about.
>>65380072
hehe yeah dude a e s t h e t i c s
the music sucks and takes 5 minutes to make but its ok because the chill vibes man
smoke a bowl to this and go back to those good times in the 94 ford taurus playing game boy and eating mcdonalds fries and making frisbees with aol discs bro its lit af
>>65379985
fucking kill yourself
>>65380117
Why is it always this that opposition boils down to? Incoherent rambling. Tells you enough...
>>65380117
Fuck you. You just don't get it.
Vaporwave isn't some guy slowing down japanese smooth jazz songs that's an outdated joke from 2011. There's legitimately good artists and albums out there that have been coming out and solidified vaporwave as a legitimate genre. If it were just a meme, it would've died 4 years ago along with sportswave, post-nightcore, seapunk, spongewave, and all the other failed attempts at meme microgenres.
>>65380136
sorry nobody will ever buy your shitty bandcamp project called seinfeldboys69 you made in 10 minutes. maybe you should learn to write your own songs and play an instrument if you want to be a musician.
>>65380184
Dropped your fedora.
>>65380184
REKT
>>65379985
Acknowledging it's a meme (which I do) doesn't make me love vaporwave any less.
>>65380184
>t. music expert
>>65380117
>>65380184
well gee, it takes no time to make? haven't EVER heard THAT one before! this guy's onto something! he's illuminating us all!
no faggot, why not bother to look around you
>>65380194
hehe...meme
>>65380241

yeah bro this took so long to make
he put a filter on an old 80s song, sped it up 1.10x and looped it. if you know how to use fl studio anyone can make this song in no time at all.
or the signature song 420 by macintosh plus which is just a slowed down version of its your move by diana ross. download that song, import it into fl, move the movement knob in fl a bit, add some reverb, and you'll get the 420 by macintosh plus. shouldn't take you very long.
>>65380162
This.
>>65380267
Why is difficulty of making a song equated to how good it is?
So Dream Theater are better than AnCo right?
lol
>>65380267
lmao look at this guy. you think everyone doesn't already know it takes no time to make? the reason we like it isnt because of what goes into it, but what it sounds like, which is nostalgia for the 80s-90s. essentially you are bringing nothing new to the discussion.
Hey asshole, guess what?
The music might not be innovative, or original, or even technically skilled/good/hard to make/, but it sounds good and that's all that matters you piece of shit elitist. It's meant to evoke a feeling, something your asperger faggot ass isn't capable of understanding. Tie the noose around your neck, and take your time as it harnesses all the worthless breath left inside your pathetic body. And cut off your ears because they clearly aren't functioning anyway to begin with, might as well cut the dead weight. First step towards your fat neckbeard ass losing weight. Do it, buddy. Just do it.
2016: people on the internet are still losing their minds over other peoples internet opinion.
>>65380374
You have just described 4chan having an argument
>>65380320
wew lad
seinfeldboys69 might sell 2 copies. maybe dreamcatalogue will sign you and then you'll sell 10.
dat projection reeks of major insecurity btw
>>65380389
>projection
>insecurity
why are these words always used by the people they apply to
>>65380383
I don't think thats a 4chan thing, look everywhere else where people are 'discussing' stuff. There is honestly no point in my opinion. People will always believe they are right, everyone else is a pleb/troll/shitlord.
>>65380409
this post is projecting
>>65380424
this is a projector
the next microgenre should be paperwave and it should be themed around newspapers and nostalgia for it.
Chicago Tribune - HEADLINENEWS3/11 is coming soon gents if anyone is actually down with this idea.
>>65380459
Sounds shit
>>65380409
Because everyone is insecure about their opinions who come on boards to argue about them.
So it's almost always true of both sides.
>>65380088
This album is only popular because it was spammed and filled up half the catalog during late 2012 and was used to troll AOTY threads. It's always been a meme. This is an honest fact, and not even a distorted opinion.
>>65380603
Yep, anyone who was in /mu/ in 2012 knows this.
Vaporwave is /mu/ shitposting that went severely out of hand.
>>65380308
Why not listen to the actual thing in the first place?
Japanese city pop >>>> meme shit.
>>65380663
T H I S
you get it dude
if you like the sound of vaporwave so much, why not listen to the music it samples which is better in every way. it'll evoke the same feeling because it's the same fucking song.
>>65380690
>>65380663
Nah I don't want to listen to cheesy aor funk music made for Jap businessmen in 1985. Vaporwave puts a new spin on dated sounds of yesteryear and makes it palatable for the contemporary audience. You might say it sounds the same but the pitch shifting/distortion/effects/looping creates that sort of atmospheric/nostalgic vibe that makes vaporwave what it is.
>>65380732
What's your opinion on electro-swing, sir?
>>65380732
dude
look up tatsuro yamashita
city pop is actually fucking dope and i dont get how you can like vaporwave or future funk and not like it because its pretty much what vaporwave is based off of
>>65380690
it doesn't have filters on top and it's longer.
The filters do add to it, they make it seem more distant and ghostly.
>>65380764
not him but which yamashita album would you recommend?
>>65380764
Yeah but it's not the same thing
I sometimes listen to city pop though.
>>65380846
for you, big wave, or pacific which he did with a couple other dudes
meme or not, it's good
>>65380755
Shit, because the source material is shit. At least city pop has its moments, which are the moments guys like St. Pepsi sample and prioritize over all the filler.
>>65380852
Thanks man
People have actually come into a thread to tell people they shouldn't like Vaporwave.
lol.
what cancer.
Am album can be an ironic appropriation of bad taste, but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed at face value.
You're just a zit, OP.
>>65380900
Anybody who likes vaporwave should get life-threatening cancer.
Yep vaporwave takes no time or effort to make and vaporwave musicians don't have any talent they just slow down old pop music that's all they can do.
>>65380459
>>65380491
it's called lowercase you mongoloids
>>65380954
doesn't seem very utility-maximizing to me
let's make fun of the japanese! let's make fun of black music! we're not supporting a racist narrative haha because of nostalgia!
vaporwave isn't an intellectual genre and it's not even a particularly good aesthetic. someday someone will figure out what to do with music and everyone will forget this abortion

Graphic designer reporting in
Vaporwave is unironically inspiring, I sometimes use vaporwave's visual elements in my designs. Everyone who hypes vaporwave are gonna be pioneers once it hits the mainstream in few years time.
People who denounce the importance of vaporwave are just being conservative or too fedora to enjoy interesting new musical and visual styles.
>>65381442
no it means if you're the scaruffi of postrating you rate posts like he rates art... which is bad.

Whether you like it or not, Vektroid has had a peculiar effect on the way you listen to electronic in 2013. The nom de plume for vaporwave titan New Dreams Ltd. (releasing classics as Macintosh Plus, 情報デスクVIRTUAL, Sacred Tapestry) was seen as one of the key innovators in the first wave of vaporwave. Those records were eqaully criticized and acclaimed for her souless take on muzak, appropriation, and a never ending sonic-vision of the Sharper Image store. Since those daring records, Vektroid has shifted focus towards other projects, and is now planning on working with rapper Siddiq. Siddiq just dropped his debut album PAID2013, which sees plenty of vapor-tinged production and a snippet of a track he's working on with Vektroid. Even though the two only have one track together, Vektroid has hinted that the two are working on a mixtape together. In the meantime, pre-order your very own official Vektroid tank top, which sports a variation of the Macintosh Plus Floral Shoppe cover art.
F the detractors,,,, art is still, and will always be subjective. Therefor those who simply state there hate are inevitably lost as their outlook is closed to one maybe two points of perspective . I for one 55+year old dog find all I am hearing refreshing and inspiring!!!
And WTF!!!! Does it matter if the artist is male/female/transgender or????? Isnt what counts the groove laid down, the beat moves you or the thought provokesquestion??? F'ingnarrow minded losers!!!!

i like nerds to get bullied like they should and laughed at, nerds shouldn't be allowed to go on the internet and be safe from the bullying they deserve because the bullying would help them and make them function normally and instead of embracing their autism and transgender memes. once enough people point and laugh and force them to become self-aware then we can get back to "normal"

I think eccojams is pretty good, somehow the way Lopatin plays with the samples in a repetetive manner avoids getting stale
honestly 2814's s/t has better tracks on it (including one ~20minute dub techno track that's fucking orgasmic,) though neither album is excellent

The amount of skill required to make something should not be considered when judging its artistic merits. Vaporwave can be just as good as music from someone extremely mechanically skilled, like Sufjan Stevens. Additionally, Vaporwave is actually intriguing conceptually.
>>65384209
That's nothing, the nu-male narrating the video was asked why 4chan wasn't even mentioned, and his response was something like
