Vaporwave died in 2013
>>62492818
I like the two albums he did as Trinity Infinity
https://trinityinfinity.bandcamp.com/
it died somewhere around early 2015
But its been leaking into the mainstream and plebes are barley discovering it, OMYGAW IM TOTTAL LIKE VAPOR WAVE HAHAHAH IM SO HIP AND UNDERGROUND AHHAHA
http://motherboard.vice.com/read/tumblr-and-mtv-killed-vaporwave
Im just waiting for the first mainstream band or any musician to make watered down vaporwave
>>62493737
Implying this would necessarily be a bad thing. I love synthwave and would be more than happy to hear new artists with some new sounds
yeah vaporwave is becoming normiecore. my edm bros just discovered it
don't worry normies have short attention spans come summer they will move on to fishmans long seasons
what's the next /mu/ trend I need to feel cool for a while
>>62493928
nothing, music is dead, vaporwave was the last gasp
>>62493928
PC Music is still ours. reddit doesn't like it yet.
>>62493997
Feels bad man...
I love the direction HKE is going with his music, who's heard this?
What exactly is vapourware? Tried googling it but only computer shit came up.
>>62492218
No.
https://lookingthroughsheets.bandcamp.com/music
http://telepathtelepath.bandcamp.com/
https://coredelay.bandcamp.com/music
At least we still have future funk and nu-disco
>>62494015
>implying reddit didn't like vaporwave from the beginning
>>62494491
But future funk and nu-disco are ass.
>Is Vaporwave Dead?
Its discussion on /mu/ definitely is. Each vaporware thread I've seen in recent memory has been absolute shit.
no
https://lookingthroughsheets.bandcamp.com/album/lackstar-wall-paper-espa-a
old vaporwave deserved to die
the good ones evolved into real artists in real genres
Is there a massive playlist somewhere of varpowave? Something I can download of just the good stuff? Youtube playlist or just a big archive of the best would be great.
>>62495457
There's a link for all the albums in this chart, can someone post that?
>>62495474
If someone had at least most of those or their own folder they could upload them all to mega or something. That allows batch download of all folders as an archive and just individual songs too! I'd be happy to seed a torrent if it hasn't got anything I could get a warning for too.
>>62495511
there actually is a MEGA link for these

I'd consider these essential if you cant find a whole playlist to just download

>pretty varied and has a few great tracks
>>62495474
this is charts either outdated or just shit. half the list is boring ambient shit or just shitty loops.
>>62495655
That looks pretty expensive desu.
>>62495754
>expensive
you aren't actually buying stuff off of bandcamp are you? just rip that shit. especially vaporwave.
>>62495754
why would you buy vaporwave? Rip them with an audio ripping tool. Anyone that charges for vaporwave should be kicked out of the genre.
>>62495784
>not being on what.cd
>>62495809
Any help getting on, I'm elite on AB if that helps.
>>62495809
>joining le sekret klub just because
shits easy to aquire anyway
>>62495863
I think they've recently started recruiting in AB Elite forums.
>>62495754
some of those are free
>>62494232
Thanks for trying to steer people away from the genre so I can keep enjoying it. You're actually doing me a huge favor.
>>62495474
its right at the bottom of the fucking image in neon green letters.
>>62495884
Not been on enough yet, I can't wait that long to join, any other way I can get in without 6months+ on AB?
>>62495979
No other way but the interview or invites
>>62496012
That's a bloody shame.
>>62495655
This on mega or something?
>>62495457
you have to find the good stuff on your own (>implying there's any) you lazy faggot, gtfo if you expect to be spoondfed like you're brain dead.
>>62496033
just rip them with a browser addon like netvideohunter or something
>>62496091
Will do, quality an issue? I'll do a mega when done.
>>62496150
Yes quality is an issue, it's in 128 CBR MP3.
I have most of the good albums on here in FLAC, name some and I'll see if I can upload it.
>>62496150
rips them at the same quality as actually purchasing them I believe.
>>62496150
generally bandcamp plays at 320kb but i've noticed some ripping at like 180kb. not like sound quality matters with vaporwave in anyway. most people make them out of youtube samples and those sound terrible
>>62496171
I'll make this
>>62495655
with mostly mp3 and replace them with flac as I go.
Does mega allow contribtutions and stuff?
>>62496264
Not that I know of. All accounts are personal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXw6TY_6YVA&feature=youtu.be
>>62496279
I'll actually make it first, will post when done.
lookingthroughsheets and I think one or two of those fjords albums have free downloads
2814 is technically vaporwave, just without cheesy Muzak
Vaporwave is an entire genre not based on any actual creativity.
How can it be dead if it was never alive to begin with?
>>62496473
is it actually sample based? i thought it was technically post-vaporwave. just chillass ambient with the vaporwave aesthetic. its good but /mu/ hates it from what i've seen
>>62496482
you haven't listened to much vaporwave if you think it can't be creative
Not to me. Never to me. I'll be /mu/'s resident diehard vaporwave fanatic long after everyone else mistook it for a short term fad.
Shit's genuinely beautiful, you know?
It's the soundscape and aesthetic of what nirvana, or heaven, must feel like.
In your efforts to mock and joke, you created a truly beautiful masterpiece genre.
And I'll love it til the day I die, and enter tge virtual plaza in the sky.

Ripping from bandcamp is taking a while, links to these to would help, rather the second one as I'm moving on to the first.
>>62497067
I've got to go now, all except those two are in this. I will update it when I get back. Some have album art and are flacs, others are not. If you have better versions or can link me to them then contact the adress in the readme.
https://mega.nz/#F!ao1gATAC!lmtC4leVW5eE2kGhsyAGOg
The upload isn't finished yet so give it some time.
>>62492218
Is this vaporwave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6HS0vBr_NQ
I'm not sure exactly what vaporwave is and if it's a specific --wave genre or does it encompass all synth formats?
>>62496516
Here's your reply.
>>62497466
none of my files are uploading...
Any help/alternatives?
Oh fuck, it's totally going mainstream...
>>62497511
any samplebased music made since vaporwave's invention. genre doesn't really matter at that point.
>>62497688
MediaFire maybe
MEGA is notorious for bugs in uploading, it's mostly issues with their servers
Could try Google Drive too
>>62497766
Neither allow folder uploading and mediafire can't handle updating the file well. I'm uploading a zip of what I have right now. The readme still has the email, when I have made it higher quality and included the two missing albums I will update it.
The google drive upload is taking a while, I'll post either when it's done or when I'm back
>>62492218
cant wait to get justin bieber copypaste some lyrics on macintosh plus beats and kill the genre for hipsters forever. the time for fun is over
>>62498032
sounds pgud to me mate. give him a drop on the telly and set this shit up
>>62492218
Being part of Big House's influence(originating in 2013/14) killed it for me. It was a great genre - ruined.
Memes only die when people forget them.
>>62498687
>yfw 100 years from now someone finds a vaporwave mega file on the Islamic Intyrnyt of Chyna and it starts a whole new era of soulless mysyc
>>62497999
progress? i dont want the thread to die before its done
>>62498758
>implying the internet will exist
>implying the last ones won't archive all existing vaporwave on cassette and then bury them in an abandoned mall
>>62498828
>not expecting an techno-islamo-femintransist future where every pyrsyn is tube fed their halal fluids and hooked into a mainframe of memes, fascism and politically correctness

Loser meme faggots love to say vaporwave is dead, meanwhile actually cool people are having a good time with jams that dont sound that way on their own.

>Vaporwave, vaporpunk
This is how I decided to take vaporwave.
>>62492921
idk
you faggots are going to remember this a e s t h e t i c shit the same way people remember the scene/emo shit from the 2000's
Fucking faggots. Floral Shoppe has had over a million views on youtube for like a year now. Vaporwave isn't obscure.
