It might be a meme, but I like it
Luis King
I have a couple of friends who said Frank Ocean was shit because he's gay.
The only album that they regularly listen to is Floral Shoppe.
Should I tell them?
Leo Ramirez
it's pretty fucking cool when it genuinely feels like it was made in the early 90s.
Parker Powell
you are lying
Samuel Wilson
dead serious, user
Nicholas Allen
>the only album they listen to regularly is floral shoppe
>homophobes
Jesus Christ why are these people your friends
But yeah, definitely tell them so you can rip them new ones for being hypocrites
Jose Gray
I can't wait to see how it evolves. Right now is seems rather limited.

meme-licious

To me it seems to have a LOT of untapped potential.
I mean the basic concept is "find 80s/90s things, add reverb and edit them".
There are SHITLOADS of things you could do beyond just making hypnagogic whatever.
Oh yeah by the way IF YOUR FUTUREFUNK SOUNDS LIKE FRENCH HOUSE YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
Michael Fisher
I don't like people who say they listen to vaporwave when they just listen to the 420 song from Macintosh Plus, but I'm not a fan of other vaporwave.
Jack Rogers
Love it. Some of the songs do weird drug like things to my brain.
Sebastian James
Dude that shit ain't vaporwave
it's indieshit/shoegaze with a pink album cover
Kayden Cooper
What genre? new age? smooth jazz? 80s japanese music? boogie?
Josiah Martin
Macintosh Plus at least has the merit of making music that preserves the atmosphere of the songs he samples.
UNLIKE BLANK BANSHIT AND ALL THE VAPORTRAP GARBAGE.
Xavier Hernandez
Like many other genres it's full of garbage made by followers of the trend, so yeah you end up listening to 3 or 4 vaporwave albums.
Mason Butler
>shit, nobody likes my horrible impression of early Radiohead!
>I know, I'll whip up an album cover that looks like that of a vaporwave album and put chinese letters in the title
>that way all the hipsters will get tricked into liking my shitty hipster music
Blake Long
One was good
Blake Hughes
Jace Richardson
meh
Jason Ramirez
Vaporwave is a curating process. You need good samples and make some serious digging.
Cameron Ward
true.
It's at its best when it celebrates obscure material that would otherwise have been forgotten.
Cooper Morales
Without naming them
Robert Wilson
One thing that bothers me is the fact that so many vaporwave producers use those super-crisp, dry FLstudio drum loops that sound too modern.
Anyone got some vaporwave with gated drums or something?
gated drums are proper as fuck.
Carson Stewart
Future Funk a best. youtube.com

James Thompson
squandered potential.
Xavier Cox
Yeah tell them Frank Ocean is shit because hes shit, not because hes gay
Oliver Edwards

Wyatt Parker
>he
You know Macintosh Plus is a woman, right? She's some millennial girl who's younger than me.
Easton Bailey

It doesn't take long before you're just listening to shit and complaining that it's not as good as it used to be, though.
Brody Watson
tell them macintosh plus is a tranny
Nathan Williams
>girl
Mason Walker
Simpsonwave is Godtier.
Christian Cooper
