>More than just a mannerist collage of the nostalgic aesthetic belonged to the millennial generation, Fashwave also operates to force classicism free of the post-modernist stranglehold that academic progressives have maintained over it, for a nearly a century. We would be mistaken to claim that the antiquated speculative nature of Fashwave betrays the aesthetic as a thing only predicated on nostalgia. While it might be considered a collage of sorts, stitched together from pieces of 80s and 90s pop-culture; VHS tapes, video game soundtracks, neo-noir landscapes, neon, lasers, synthesizers, streaking brake lights and 8-bit arpeggios—Fashwave only operates modally to subvert the mainstream progressive agenda by way of nostalgic cues to the otherwise uninterested.
>The real strength and fascination of the aesthetic lies in its ability to draw a parallel between anachronistic futurisms; that is to say, what ideals were once held for tomorrow and have since fallen either out of favor, out of fashion, or out of plausibility—and icons of western art now so unpopular in the mainstream circles of acceptable media. Hovercrafts, jetpacks, Bond gadgets, terminator technology, apocalyptic analogues—dreams made into memories.
>By carefully conflating these two ideas we might touch on the birth of a new mannerism: anachronism becomes the mode by which the canon of western thought and artistic enterprise suddenly and altogether vaults over the rhetorical barriers set in place by post-modernism and manned tirelessly by the drones of academia, to re-establishes itself as a countercultural force.
>So it was that Piranesi’s Veduta di Roma series painted an image of Rome so fantastical that Goethe himself—a fan of Piranesi’s work—exclaimed his consuming disappointment upon first visiting the city, for it was less impressive than Piranesi’s drawings had led him to dream.

Hey, thanks user. I wrote the text myself--was thinking about the ways that Fashwave can act to force classicism past the post-modern lockdown that academia perpetrates on the western canon. It struck me as identical in spirit to the way that some futurisms suddenly sublimate from dream to memory. By using anachronism (something out of place in its time) as a deliberate mode, Fashwave can throw classicism back on the table--which can only happen through the lens of counterculture.
Pic related, in the early 20th century, Manhattan had its aerial zoning laws changed so that the higher you built, the farther 'in' you had to step. So all buildings would essentially have to fill out the same stepped volume as they got taller. Hugh Ferris was an architect and draftsman who was appalled at that bullshit, and so he created a bunch of homogeneous buildings that form-fit those zoned volumes, to try and prove how horrible Manhattan would look in the future if the laws were allowed to remain. The laws were quickly reversed, and Ferris's images of a Manhattan that never came to be are all that remains of the plausibility; of the idea. They're a mannerism in that sense.

Not trying to spread, I just dismissed a couple threads during the weekend without actually looking. When I read the google doc last thread, made me sad that I might have missed out.
Also, could you find something besides a google doc to host it on, dumdums that are logged into their normie gmail could get potentially dox'd by clicking on it.

>dox'd for what, art?
Getting Dox'd is the best thing that could possibly happen to any one of us. Suddenly you're a criminal for, what? Art?

This is what we need, an aesthetic. Something that when people see it, screams at them "international fascism is not a ghost from the past, but a burning spirit soaring in the sky".

Such pretentiousness.
Stop justifying nostalgia for your childhoods/idealized pasts. This isn't culture, it's shit. Literal, recycled, shit. Listen to any music made for more than just an individual's expression and move on.
Isaiah Fisher
Does anybody else get that slight warm sense of comfort when you look at or listen to "aesthetic" media?
I've felt very disconnected from the world and the "x-wave" style of music, art, and 1920s fascism has given me a little sense of comfort. Anything beyond that really doesn't give me an emotional boost.

This works well actually even within the spirit of "traditional" fascism, which was always incorporated modern elements/aesthetic.
Like how italian fascism bound together with the country's futurist movement (pic related). and then there's all these songs for example, a lot of them sound jazzy. youtu.be/WaRE36BZuik
This cyberpunk thing is just a style of our time, it's good to embrace it.
