What is 2014's epic new electronic genre gonna be?
>>48791196
"trap"
>>48791279
Wait, Trap was 2011 I think.
>>48791196
I think vaporwave didn't quit
>>48791322
It's not dead at all. Faggots don't seem to understand that though
>>48791196
Holy shit don't remind me about witch house
>>48791196
2011 is Seapunk and 2012 is Vaporwave
Palewave
Spookwave
>>48791351
witch house is the most tumblr genre in existence.
>>48791348
faggots don't seem to understand that vaporwave SHOULD be dead though
>>48791196
/mu/wave
>>48791196
dark internet trap like bones
>>48791411
I don't mind all the other stupid fad genres, even vaporwave, but witch house is just absolutely terrible. it leaves a gross taste in my most
>>48791196
memerap
mallsoft bro, next level vaporwave, get on this level while it's cool fgts reminisce about being 9 yrz old
>>48791460
This.
Dreamy instrumentals, Lo-Fi almost darkwave influences, and a shitton of soundcloud producers with names like "YUNG KANJI ??"
Why do you people say vaporwave started in 2013? Ever hear Chuck Person’s Eccojams Vol. 1? The first vaporwave album ever in 2010.
>>48791529
That was proto-vaporwave
>>48791529
lies

Shit's been around since the 90's, obviously, since its just fucking sonic the hedgehog funnelled through a dirty butthole.
Peep the link, fags
>>48791529
Because that's when the trend hit mainstream.
I remember vaporwave being around 2010 as well and being pushed by the same people who were deep into witch house.
I remember all the magazines and the code names as well lol.
>>48791599
Lemme guess, Far Side Virtual is too?
>>48791390
Palewave isn't an electronic genre you fucking faggot cunt
What's the appeal of Vaporwave exactly? Like, I've heard a few tracks of it I like but it's so bizarre that something so niche has gotten this popular.
>>48791716
Are you going to try to tell me it's not?
>>48791750
Well since I have not the slightest fucking clue what proto-vaporwave is, yeah I am.
post-ironic vaporwave
>>48791718
What is it then
>tfw people tell you what the thing you created to troll fa is or isn't
>>48791645
i found a vaporwave album from 1983
>>48791508
Mallsoft was 2013, right?
Vaporwave was 2012, not 2013
2014: Millennial Dream Corp. AKA "Nostalgiawave"
What other microgenres existed after Chillwave? Shitgaze and Tropical Drone (which was basically blogspotcore back in the day) comes to mind, but I'm not sure about it.
>>48791871
>after
Shit, I mean "before", sorry.
>>48791740
I don't get it either I like it though but not enough to call my self a fan.
Would be nice to see it turn into something bigger but so far the whole scene feels tumblrish.
>>48791928
The only one that really got super big was Chillwave but it was probably the most accessible out of all of them.
>>48791831
even further proves my points. Niggas is just too mainstream. I was bumping obscure japanese game OSTs since I was a young lad, now everyones on my dick about vaporwave and how i heralded this shit back in my youth
>>48791871
>Tropical drone
Is this actually a real thing? The only thing I've ever heard that could maybe fit that description is that one Candy Claws album.
>>48791460
Yep, pretty much. Some of it is fun enough to listen to, but i mean people like this are all over soundcloud and bandcamp: https://soundcloud.com/jinzo-the-trap-lord
>>48791801
This.
>>48791196
uk garage
>>48791999
Kind of, along with hypnagogic pop, it was huge back in 2007-2010.
Stuff like this.

Proto-X is basically just stuff that influenced whatever X is, or something that exhibits X's characteristics but came before it. Far Side Virtual and Eccojams are proto-vaporwave in that they were big influences in what would become vaporwave, but they were made before the vaporwave trend.
>>48791473
Listening to Salem for the first time just now, it sounds exactly like trap, vaporwave and spookycore's abortion
>>48791871
link to shitgaze song plz
>>48791999
Sun Araw
>>48792151
If you ask me they aren't just influences, they are full on Vaporwave. I don't see how they aren't.
>>48792226
I agree, just like OPN's albums are obviously vaporwave
>>48792226
They were made one year and two years before vaporwave itself properly existed. You look back on them now and say they're clearly vaporwave albums (and I'm not going to deny that, because they totally are) but they influenced the eventual vaporwave "scene" by pretty much giving a blueprint for its sound.
>>48792209
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj4TCp9BzU4
it's actually lo-fi noise pop.
SPOOKYCORE
>>48791196
bubblegum bass
>>48792265
I don't get it, so what were they doing before vaporwave existed? Just fucking around genrelessly?
>>48792309
holy fuck this is hilarious, thnx m8 didn't know this was a thing
hopefully not nightcore
>>48792335
you think you need a fucking genre to make music? Are you kidding, like actually?
anything "lo-fi" sounding.
>>48792362
how new are you? every single band sounded exactly like that in like 2007/8
>>48792369
Nightcore is old hat as fuck.
[spoiler]I sometimes like a song or two though. Shit's catchy sometimes.[/spoiler]
>>48792335
They were just experimenting with timbres and samples. You do realize that you don't need to decide "I'm going to make music in this genre" when you're writing stuff, right?
>>48792265
vaporwave is in no way relevant or important enough for any of it to be classified as a genre of 'proto-vaporwave', but if that were a thing, I would absolutely say the closest thing is Boards of Canada's early unreleased works, ESPECIALLY OTV2, just listen to 'Nine Rubber Wisdom', 'On a Rolling Sea', 'Iced Cooly Beatnik' and 'Dave (I'm a Real Traditionalist) ' and tell me that isn't so vaporwave it's not true
e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p8rcAPPsvU
>>48791196
Burzumwave

>>48792379
This is like tumblr SJW with their sexuality bullshit.
>YOU DON'T NEED TO LIKE MEN WHLE BEING BISEXUAL
>YOU DON'T NEED GENRE TO MAKE MUSIC
I don't get it.
>>48792468
But how does it not have a genre?
>>48792468
well they are just the first vaporwave albums... not proto vaporwave.
Acidwave
Japan-influenced future funk
>>48792521
I'm not saying it's absolutely not vaporwave, and I guess it's my fault for starting this argument because I totally fucked up in my first post by outright saying they weren't, and I honestly don't know why I did that. I'm a retard apparently.
>>48792559
"fucking around genrelessly" implies the opposite would be to sit down and think "okay time to make a xxx song" and proceed to do so. Which is fucking stupid. How would any new genre of music be created if this were the case?
>>48792362
no prob m8. there were tons of bands with the same aesthetic back in the day. then it just died.
>>48792557
dungeon synth hasnt been big since the 90s...
>>48792557
That's already a thing called dungeon synth
>>48792559
Some people don't set out with the intention of making music in any one specific genre, they just make what they want.
Sometimes what they create doesn't fit into previously defined genres, and thus new things are created to give a name to this new sound.
>>48792624
But what was it then? What was it called?
>>48792265
Vektroid and Internet Club already had released stuff before Far Side Virtual though
>>48791365
I believe this is correct.
>>48791508
Whatever happened to mallsoft anyway? Somehow vaporwave outlived it.
>>48792666
whatever the fuck they or the masses want to call it. When stuff is this difficult to define genres are relatively fluid and almost meaningless, and act more as a direction for people who might be interested in the sound they have. In this case, proto-vaporwave would be accurate, because it pointsthose interested in vaporwave-type music in that direction.
>>48792666
are you retarded? not every piece of music thats made fits in with a defined genre. today it is arecognized aesthetic and sound and fits in to vaporwave, at the time it was just like chopped and screwed pop and computer sounds.
ladhouse
don't really know what it is but i've seen the term being thrown around a lot on /bleep/
alternatively, this
>>48792321
>>48792784
So just house then?
>>48792722
Not sure, I said that as a joke kind of, but honestly mallsoft seems to me to be just short snippets of vaporwave on loop. The idea behind mallsoft is a big joke, but at the same time isn't really.
>>48792631
some Mortiis is aight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wypwd-DxJqk
kvlt af shit tho
>>48792784
>>48792321
You wouldn't happen to have any examples of "bubblegum bass" handy would you? The name alone has peaked my interests.
>>48792722
mallsoft was just a 4chan spinoff of vaporwave. it wasn't destined to last long.
I have many ideas for new genres. Maybe I should just go ahead and make them. Someones gotta do it.
>>48792557
you seriously think Burzum was the first guy to make music like this. lmao. truly clueless people on this site. i actually wouldnt be surprised if something dungeon synth esque does become big in the near future. black metal seems to be really big in post-internet culture, hipster trendy shit so its only natural dungeon synth would be it counterpart. back when chillwave was big, laid back pop rock about beaches and shit was what was big in the indie scene so since black metal is getting big with the p4k crowd dungeon synth might as well.
>>48792890
someone should just make something dungeon synth esque with some ironic internet twist to it and slap a new name on it.
>>48792964
pls no
keep dungeon synth pvre and kvlt
>>48791365
This is right. 2013 and 2014 didn't have anything major. There was some like desertronica but nothing really came from that
Did filchcore ever evolve
>>48791460
>>48791509
>>48792001
It's called "Cloud Rap".
