>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.
Just appropriate black twitter culture instead it would be much funnier.

what we are witnessing on a macro scale, playing out in slow motion is: - the slow and painful death of notions such as "the west", "western culture". - a cultural conflict between those that can see it, and those that refuse to, and would rather go down with the boat. - the drive and search for new philosophical meaning in our current foundations, one to build "the future" on. - the synthesis of a new culture, with these ideals at its core. - from this culture, a new civilization shall emerge.
good work anons. keep it up.
God speed

This is cringy af I love the combination of Trump with Retrowave Aesthetics because it's on point with his character and what he represents. But trying to use this for neo-fascist propaganda just doesn't work.
Adam Gutierrez
why? I think its excellent
Brody Thomas
Like this?
Owen Cooper
I know im a massive faggot, bit can someone make a video on how to create this FASHWAVE style?
Photoshop? Layers? Filters? Etc etc. Would love to contribute
Noah Turner
I second this.

Jayden Allen
Exactly.
Jeremiah Baker
Certainly got my attention.
Just another example of why right wins and left looses. Memes. Nice aesthetic pictures. Some effort put into them. The left wing equivalent is painting with menstrual blood and crying like a babby. Same thing with the election platforms (US and ours) Right side - hope, rebuilding, Left side - fearmongering and insulting. It's literally good vs bad as far as PR goes.

Is poppy even alt-right or alt-lite?
Charles Jackson
>This is my first attempt at anything, I have no idea what I'm doing That's pretty solid though. If one of our best fashwave posters can make a video on how to or certain techniques, it would be awesome.
I need to learn to be simplistic when making them.
Levi Scott
Nice meme, saved and checked.
Jaxon Turner
Because it is taking an art-style that essentially glorifies the consumerism of the 80's, and trying to shoe-horn traditionalist evolian ideals in it. "Fashwave" is antithetical, whereas "Trumpwave" feels more evident because Donald Trump really is a hero of Capitalism and a man of the 80's (he reeks of self-confidence and optimism and doesn't care that it is the current year).

No, it's smart. You take modernism and the machine loving nature of fascism and hijacks a popular art style to spread your ideology and normatize it on the eyes of society and normies, because its aesthethically pleasing. Do you even Marinetti bruh? Also, cultural infiltration is one of the lessons we must learn from the left and then perfect it.
Jose Turner
by far the catchiest political aesthetic I've seen. A lot better than African uhuru aesthetic.
John Murphy
jaja same ;
Evan Diaz
She's cute. 6/10 2/10, sorry. Posing as Monroe = Beta Kitten Slave. That needs some Text to it. Maybe "Wrong"? The next level of Fashwave are memes to use in argument, like this "not an argument" one. When people use it in conversation fashwave slowly drips into Sup Forums mainstream.
