>create an ironic genre that's tries to satirize capitalism and consumerist culture >it backfires and the people it's satirizing unironically embrace it while making capitalism feel dreamlike and ethereal instead of vapid and hollow
Is that what it was supposed to be? I thought it was just supposed to be comfy beats.
Carter Barnes
uhhh it was supposed to be a celebration of that crazy 80-90s capitalism ya derp.... the vape theme is a throwback to that. You have it backwards my man.
Luis Ramirez
I want people to start writing 80s style pop songs again, not just 80s synth fetishizing. It's truly saddening listening to the joy and innocence encapsulated in 80s popular music and to know what came after.
John Jenkins
This. The faggot /r/The_Donald users wont understand.
Vaporwave is literally shit and is all Brooklyn Kikery & teenage pseudo intellectual useful idiots
Benjamin Watson
Agreed.
Nicholas Lee
Also that Tranny uses Helios, aka Lucifer/Apollo as the album cover
Part of that greed theme shit
Trump has Apollo artwork as well in his apartment. its common for satanic kikes
A good, simple 80s love song written and sung by a negro. The decade when a segment of negro culture was still attached to white culture and aspired to white cultural values.
I don't think you get it really. you don't have to be a capitalist to be right wing, nor are capitalism and consumerism synonymous. you can think capitalism is better than socialism but still think that vapid materialism is idiotic. vaporwave is based around consumerism more than anything. either way, it's just slowed down samples, anyone can attach "ironic" value to something they sample from through simple effects, it shouldn't really be intellectualized that much.
Cooper Sanders
So any composition that makes use of sampling as a major theme is ironic?
Fuck nigger, listen to some Steve Reich. You're a clueless motherfucker spouting clueless shit all over the internet without having a fucking clue that he is fucking doing it. Educate yourself.
Kevin Murphy
thats not vaporwave
Samuel Long
>So any composition that makes use of sampling as a major theme is ironic?
no, you have terrible fucking reading comprehension. take your autism glasses off and read the post again because i'm not going to explain something so simple.
i've listened to Steve Reich, as has everyone else who isn't a teenager, you're not special
Isaiah Davis
I don't understand how it's supposed to be satirical. When I listen to vaporwave it makes me think of cool 90s style shopping malls and that makes me think of the good aspects of capitalism and free enterprise.
I mean, was that not the intention? To make you nostalgically think to the economic boom and freedom of the late 80s and early 90s? Because when you think of an early 90s shopping mall, what do you think of? Well for one thing government is hardly part of the picture

That is, without a doubt, chill as fuck.
Levi Bailey
Ah it just reminds me of using computers in school in the early 90s. None of the throwback stuff achieves authenticity, it's more like an impression. A lot of it has "beats" that are far too niggery for my liking.
I like the cold approach of early Kraftwerk still, why bother with anything else?
Mason Parker
Listen to old daft punk and good music to be honest. Vaporwave is okay but it isn't even that good.
Landon Ward
Shopping Malls in the 80s and 90s only existed because the government subsidized any large develop deals with massive tax breaks.
Robert Adams
Vektroid wasn't the only pioneer of vaporwave
Robert Evans
Your shitposting only exists because the (((government))) subsidizes your life with its fascist military complex
Brandon Nelson
Broken Window Fallacy I would be IRL shitposting at an actual Forum if it weren't for government controls and digital balkanization.

Ayden Gray
vaporwave was originally supposed to be like ironic music that was aware of itself trying to be capitalistic and consciously making fun of it at the same time
Bentley Green
What in the name of swinging nigger dicks did I just watch?
Luis Cox
Gen. 1 vaporwave died in early 2013.
All forms of plunderphonics that exist now that still wear the vaporwave tag is something totally different. Still though I'm glad it backfired.
Samuel Green
>guy creates cool new genre of music >based entirely around sampling chill af retro music and adding some background beats to increase nostalgia feeling > gets really popular >"why did you create this new genre of music user?" >(internally) wtf is this reporter bitch on? I created it because it fucking sounded cool and I want to make money and needed something original >uhh like I wanted it to be an rlironic push back against, uh, like capatilsm and consumerism and stuff man. Yeah it's about fighting the power and shit so please support my music"
This is like that one lady that went in and interviewed those two guys that had gone around getting a bunch of licenses and they showed up acting all pretentious and she ate up every bit only to find out later they were just joking about everything.
Tyler Miller
how do i follow?
Easton Peterson
holy shit
Aaron Rivera
Vaporwave is Reddit-tier crap.
Synthwave is the real music of the white man. A lot of ex-heavy metal musicians are currently blazing the trails for this genre actually.
Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Megahead, etc.
Cant get enough of the shit.
Landon Wright
PISS! Piss comin outta my Ass!
Christian Evans
i actually like yung lean :(

>that's what Liberal progressives have done to jazz
Sweet fuck, listen to some modern jazz not enfuckulated by trannies and minorities (more than usual) youtube.com/watch?v=OiZTDl27M4c

What's wrong? 2deep4u?
Liam Green
>not getting baked and listening to simpsonwave
There is literally nothing wrong with finding ironic music unironically good.
Eli Brooks
If you want MAXIMUM late 80's early 90's nostalgic chill you have to listen to
Synthwave is fag-tier edm, listen to fucking darkpsy for real electronica that doesnt have ex glow stick swinging faggots as a theme. Anytime you hear piano stabs in dance music it was made by emo dance hall queers. ffs
Ayden King
>Synthwave >Vaporwave
same faggoty shit
Kevin Williams
Fucking kek
Lucas Ross
>I'm a genre elitist no-fun asshole: the post
For fucks sake I'm a huge Jungle guy and even I think you're insufferable
Stop trying to inject intelectuality into music, tryhard elitist faggots
Just enjoy and shut the fuck up.
Alexander Reed
There is no way Phil Minton is not a kike, and that that entire thing wasn't just another psychotic thing made by the kikes.
Nolan Martin
Can we bring back the 60s and 70s pop too.....its so relentlessly upbeat
Jason Robinson
It gets better:
>Trumpfags and far-righters take over vaporwave aesthetics, start making their own music >leftists get butthurt, they report all of them so Soundcloud bans them >they do ban them, but more and more pop out
The free market of memes is eternal, you can put out as many shitty memes as you want only the strong survive the inexorable march of progress continues
Ayden Stewart
At first I thought it was one of those "Band Name Jams" videos, but then I realized that it isn't.
Joseph Hall
>not listening to italo disco and eurobeat as the only genre of edm
its like you never want to run in the 90s, do you like my car?
Zachary Nguyen
>white cultural values and what exactly were those in the drug-filled, "sounds like love but I just want to Missionary her" 70/80's America?
Easton Mitchell
BEATS you nigger, that's all that matters
Jackson Fisher
You have to admit it was better than "tryna bust a nut in my gurl"
Kevin Johnson
ok this is fucking good holy shit
Easton Thompson
True, I'd praise the former as long as I don't have to admit that latter is currently happening.
Colton Mitchell
Nicely put. Excellent post.
Mason Hughes

Future Funk > Vapormeme
William Harris
>t. クロスMACROSS 82-99 Future funk is just for casuals.
Daniel Jones
I see it as the natural birth of an aesthetic from people who were craving iconoclasm but are only surrounded by cheap consumerism. The genre is ironic, but the irony is that they look for aesthetic in a world that is empty of it. So they created their own. They deified brands and trademarks with a wink.
Austin Murphy
>Macross is the only FutureFunk artist out there
Logan Williams
Future Funk is for morning Vaporwave is for night they are both great
Elijah Green
The only Mexican one.
Xavier Morris
Is he, dare I say, a mexican intellectual?
Austin White

>fuccboi >arguing about which gay electronic music genre is better
You just grew out of watching people are awesome youtube clips
Logan Ross
no, you're car is for fags and I doubt you can name one pice of electronic music that is not fag-tier euro trash garbage
Xavier Miller
Its just comfy 90s nostalgia, capitalism is a big part of that.
