//Foreword//
>More than just a 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 what we might call 'anachronistic futurisms;' 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 mainstream and acceptable media. Anachronistic Futurisms are dreams sublimated 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 canons of western thought and artistic enterprise suddenly and altogether vault over the rhetorical barriers that have been set in place by post-modernism, and manned tirelessly by the drones of academia, to re-establish 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.

>Let us continue dreaming.

xurious is good

cringe thread?

could you do this one?

HERE HE IS.
like fucking clockwork, every thread..

...

...

yeah, want any text on it, or got anything in particular in mind?

...

...

...

...

It would be nice to have links to previous archived threads in the OP.

Do you have a link to the last one?

...

le cringe thread XDDD hmmm :) :)

I was thinking about some text but don't have a good idea, maybe
>chaos was the law of nature, order was the dream of man
or
>embrace your culture
I want this image to like show aesthetics of traditional art and architecture that is a part of our culture in opposition to modern art. So brighter colours should also work here. As for the quote if you got any on your mind beside those two you can put it if you think that it will work better

thanks family.

this quote would be excellent with some photo of refugees and their garbage in some european cities

no problem

...

...

Sorry, not my best. I didn't know what to do with it.

jesus christ, you guys really don't know what you're doing, do you?

>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.

So what you're saying is, a fake can become more real than the original?

t. professional artist.

actually, yes.

Then why don't you do something constructive

a. because i don't work for free
b. i don't agree with your political views
c. i don't co-opt tumblr aesthetics and completely miss the point of them while doing it

why are you even here

>a. because i don't work for free
Your nose is showing.
>b. i don't agree with your political views
Why are you on Sup Forums?
>c. i don't co-opt tumblr aesthetics and completely miss the point of them while doing it
what is the point of them then?

Great thread.

Thanks, Kim.

And the transparent version.

You're welcome, western dog.

What did Kim mean by this?

>tumblr aesthetics! I-I'm using it as an insult
>you don't even get them though

Hilarious!

>why are you even here
why not? last i checked it wasn't /wn/ or /fasc/

>Your nose is showing.
shouldn't you be deleting some posts?

>what is the point of them then?
it certainly isn't overzealous colour channel displacement and using no eye for composition.
hey, while you're doing this why don't you throw some more grunge textures over everything.
lol.

hello, rare flag. it is hilarious indeed.

You haven't heard of the nazi furry force from best Korea?

...

Could some user who's good with music skills mix some German classical composers with krautrock and synthwave from the 70s/80s the way vaporwave mixes 90s/80s pop with anime shit and infomercials? Sonically I think this could be an interesting new genre.

still I think it's good thank you

...

>it is hilarious indeed.
Yeah, it literally is

Are you okay little buddy?

...

got any tuts on this?

>all of these
>good design
Are these yours OP?
I mean, shit man, is cool that you're trying to create something new I guess, but educate yourself first, all these designs look really cliche and shallow.

>search for "vaporwave" on google
>use that a only reference
>"Look mom, I created a #wave"
I hope these are a meme that flew over my head, honestly.

I've been doing these for about 3 days, senpai.

Loving the fashwave.

I like the subliminal stuff more than the stuff with blatant nazi symbolism.

...

...

...

...

...

That's great user, keep working.
But I would suggest you to look for more references, you have any "classic" designer of movement that you like? It's always a good idea to look at the masters.

Try to go beyond pretty pictures with "retro" filters. Ironically, that's what killed vaporwave.

...

this morning, i decided that i may actually get to live out my dreams of leading right wing death squads.

lets make it happen, lads.

Just my 2 cents: I think this phrase would be better with an image of a war-torn african village (or something similar) on the top and this image on the bottom.

nothing in particular, what would you recommend?

hey im pretty sure this is called new retro wave

This is sooo good.

>I dont like it therefore its not good

Fucking neck yourself achmed

The use of typography is kinda shy in your work. Look for classic/modern swiss design, I think it might help.

Remember, your are trying to communicate. The message should be loud and clear, then focus on aesthetics.

Dumping muh OC, enjoy

This one in particular is so comfy to me. Just a small village of my own people, by a river, surrounded by greenery. Love it. This art is wonderful
