slowed down 80's pop

It sounds shallow and meaningless on purpose, as a parody of shallow and meaningless modern pop music.

The whole point is for it to suck, yet people claim it's actually good for some reason.

Why does it seem related to autism.
What does Aesthetic mean.
Why is it related to abandoned malls?

It's a meme.

>Why does it seem related to autism.
Because it was invented in a 4chan thread as a deliberate attempt to create a new genre. It's a "forced meme" that went too far.
>What does Aesthetic mean.
The emotional inflection of the music. Vaporwave is trying to evoke shallow consumerist culture.
>Why is it related to abandoned malls?
Because abandoned malls represent shallow consumerist culture.

All it is, is nostalgia for 80's/90's consumer culture. Stuff like old computers and shopping commercials.

Music that is shallow and meaningless. It's the musical embodiment of everything cheesy about capitalist society. It's popular because of our yearning for a happy go lively life style we had before 9/11.
