what the fuck is up with this shit? vaporware is literally meme music with trippy/digital aesthetics. the only reason fags brigade the internet with this "muh anticapitalist vaporware" shit is because it made its way over to tumblr
go away
come back when you turn 18
Because some tumblr bimbo happened to come across vaporwave last week and apply their own indoctrination as an interpretation internet culture does not mean it should be taken seriously.
Vaporwave is kinda like throwback of psychedelic music from the 70s and 80s. The meme surrounding the music is that the music is pleasing in sound or "aesthetic"
Can someone explain the difference between vaporwave and retrowave?

Thats what it is though, but the funny thing is that its being slowly used by the alt-right.
Am I supposed to pretend like I'm "in on the joke"?
Because when I listen to vaporwave, I just think to myself "this sounds kinda nice"
I don't sit and think "hahahaha yeahhhhh fuck capitalism XDDDD"
Mallsoft is even better.
It just reminds me of random forgotten parts of my childhood that are permanently locked away, and brings them back through an appropriate rose-tinted filter of VHS and Cassette Tape distortion.
Remember the food court pizza place that was right near the arcade? You could hear the faint sound of the games echoing out into the larger space.
Remember when you walked by the GNC or CVS, and you caught a whiff of that smell like vitamin pills and medicine?
Remember the bleachy scent of the overly-chlorinated fountain that you would throw pennies into?
>>80517177
Have a (you) for those memories.
vaporwave and the whole "capitalism" thing is just conjecture brought up by some fedora-tipping autists. yes, it does spoof the campy vibe of commercialism in the 80s but its not an entirely pro or anti capitalist thing.
>>80515147
Why does everything good on this planet have to be ruined by normies.
>>80517177

Vaporwave is obviously making fun of the 80s and 90s plastic look that was engineered by marketing departments of those times, but it's also tapping in the nostalgia factor because those type of cheesy commercials don't really exist nowadays. Calling it "hurr durr anti capitalism smash the patriarchy" music is what edgelords call it because they have no sense of humor.
This is the feel or "aesthetic" vaporwave is trying to imitate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaRkacQ-YMg
Stuff that was common back then, but nowadays cheesy but awesome.
TL;DR:
Normies gonna normie, they just don't get it.

>>80517395
>>80517588
I actually prefer the cheesy marketing of the 80's, just because it was at least sincere with itself and what it was doing.
>I am selling you a product. Please buy this product.
It's much better than the modern hipster bullshit of people trying to wrap their product in 7 layers of self-referential irony.
>>80517061
and to add to that, I get annoyed at this trashy exploitation of patriotism by small town businesses more than nostalgia. When a company covers every inch of their business with american flags. I call it "wal-mart patriotism." Its like they just trick people into buying their shit by exploiting slacktivism, like its the same logic as "ONLY FAGS DONT BUY THIS!" and then the average retard says "h-hey Im notta fag! GIVE ME 5!" And its not just limited to expliting patriotism; Recently businesses have been promoting LGBT shit, and Starbucks and other liberal places usually have a "for every dollar we get, we give 10 cents to third world niggers!" policies.
Im no where near a communism, but I do think capitalism can get out of hand.

Vividly. And the cinnamon smell of the food court.

It's scent marketing.

This is exactly what vaporwave was meant to be, but it was diluted when it became a meme. Now there's kids who like it because "meme xd", not because they experienced this.

vaporwave is trash, it started out as a simple enough idea but turned to garbage faster than any other genre.
It's been hijacked by literally every faggot because somewhere along the line people thought "if i just play a song slow it's vaporwave". Then they got the great idea of taking a theme and just adding "-wave" to it like it makes it a whole different sub-genre.
What a joke.

It's a great music genre that was overtaken by fedora tipping liberals for a hot minute. What's funny is that the alt-right has since taken over it, improved significantly upon it, and now it's extremely pro-capitalist.

One of the main reasons why I don't shop at such establishments. Call me cold hearted but I believe that it would benefit if lesser people were left to die off instead of being supported and allowed to thrive, being a burden on the rest of us.
>>80517177
Remember trying out the PS2, Gamecube, and original Xbox demos in the mall Gamestop? And how everyone would try to hog it to themselves until their mom came around and took them away as she went to another store?
A part of me despises malls because of the materialistic culture and urban sprawl it symbolizes, happy that they're starting to disappear. Another part of me has the memories of the fun times at the mall, hanging out with friends, having my first date there, etc. It's bittersweet to see the mall disappearing from the American landscape.

This is silly, Vaporwave is 4chan cynicism applied to an artist aesthetics.
It's both a rebellion against a modern capitalist world where everything is mass-produced, made by committy, over hyped, under-cooked, in your face garbage and a celebration of the fact we have evolved so far as a species that we can have all that garbage while our fathers had to worry about polio.
It's Nero laughting while Rome is burning, no interesting in putting out the fire, just enjoy the warmth while it lasts.

i mostly speed it up 1,5x - 2x tho
Everyone reads into vaporwave what they want to see.
You could interpret it as anti-capitalist, or just as well you could interpret it as accelerationist, embracing 80s capitalist gloss, when everything was supposed to be shiny, comfy, designed to make you feel cultured and elite.
It's a throwback to the optimistic days before the pessimism of the millenium, with all it's race-baiting and gender-bending crap made everything ugly.
I suggest Telepath, CVLTVRE, General Translator, Vaperror and then if you consider vaporwave as overlapping with synthwave, Carpenter Brut and Perturbator

What's your favorite godzilla movie? vs. King Kong is good, but Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla is my favorite showa era movie because it has a nice 1970s spy movie trippiness and a good fight scene.
From Heisei era, Godzilla vs. Biollante is my favorite.
I'm pretty sure vaporwave just appeals to the nostalgia in young minds where during their youth they saw a much better world and reality then the one they were given and a lot of these songs are odes to that.
Consider this music relaxation of the superego.

>>80522097
Nice, all I listened to was Kavinsky but this is pretty cool
The YouTube video the poster's thesis is drawn from is fucking stupid. Vaporwave is a merchandising scheme for 20-somethings without regular work - $12 tapes and $60 shirts.
It's not a response to the "false promises of capitalism." It's a way for young white guys to make money when all the jobs have been shipped off to the Land of Designated Shitting Streets.
>>80517061
Well, it makes sense. Despite being completely meme tier, the only thing that enabled this genre to stand is nostalgia. And if you can feel nostalgic, you are pretty close to being a nationalist, you are only a few realizations away.
Proton: Look up the definition of nostalgia if this doesn't make sense to you
Vaporwave is Art
It's as much Art as Poo Poo Pee Pee is Art
That isn't to promote or devalue either of them as Art
Art is Art, if you could pin it down to a singular definitive definition or reason it would cease to be Art
There is however some inherent irony or mischief in that Vaporwave oftentimes uses really in-genuine, non-artistic music tracks as its basis to create genuine art out of
Or
It just is funny and occasionally sounds or looks good

Not really. Contrary to the Floral Shoppe meme, the Vaporwave of today is more like adding diverse samples of nostalgia over a beat, with maybe some original chords added too, not just one 80's song chopped and skewed. Some Vaporwave elitists (yes, they exist) may say "well that's not real Vaporwave" and they'd be right.

I disagree. I think it's a deconstruction of music marketing strategies, but to commies, everything that involves commerce is "capitalism," and they lack the self awareness required to tell the difference.
