Just give me the gist.
distorted 80's music for cucks

It's timestretched funk wiith reverb. It appeals to underage anime fans who love "memes" but I don't know why.

There's vaporwave consisted of original compositions only.

Slowed down 80s music, mostly disco/boogie/synthfunk. The mission is to recreate the sensation of living in the 90s, during the early age of internet and the booming economy.

from what i hear its meant to parody such eras, with a the nostalgia being ironic/sarcastic
Vaporwave is basically slowed down samples of other songs set with certian sounds to create a 'wave like feeling' when listening to it. For a time, it had to do something with anti-capitalism, but idk what that was about. The problems with the category is that its widly considered a sub-genere of plunderphonics, and many people have tried to jump on the bandwagon by pumping out shitty quality vaporwave. Its also jot really a well defined category.
This video explains it pretty well: https://youtu.be/PdpP0mXOlWM
Speaking of vaporwave, ive been looking for the name of an album by this guy Steven Devillers. I heard a few songs from it randomly, like "you and i", and i really want to listen to the whole album. If someone knows where i can download it that would be cool. I think he goes by the alternative name "Powell", if that helps.

the anti-capitalism part was basically invented by vektroid so other people couldn't make money from doing what she did.

I'd be into them, any recommendations?

I saw you post your bandcamp album in a thread the other day. I liked it a bit but the meme cover ruined it for me. Make less memey music and it could probably be decent

This is actually a pretty good side view of vaporwave, and the plunderphonics point is good
