we grew up

The world wasn't ready

but dolphins are timelessly cute

that dolphin was trying to warn us about 9/11

why nobody listened to him?

It was, for the lack of a better term, a meme to play around with. I don't really think it was meant to be fully realized and fleshed out as a genre. It had its little moment. It was better used as accents, because of how limited it was. Chuck Person's echojams tape was incredible though. Then there was the New York Times piece on Seapunk. Granted they tried to hedge their bets a little bit by being condescending and going "Seapunk has its moment.." and sort of pointing out its foolishness. But why the fuck did they even cover it then?

2011 ended

eccojams are vaporwave though

Kinda splitting hairs

sorry. your comment however was helpful

Deepseapunk when.

Long story short, Seapunk was just something to play around with on social media, same as vaporwave. A few music publications, eager to put this thing in a box and champion a genre for the sake of being the first to jump on a bandwagon and to appear hip for being the first to scoop something new, covered the "genre" in various pieces. But it was a false start. Seapunk never really truly happened. Same as when Dummy Mag did that piece on Vaporwave back in 2012. Attribution, attribution, attribution..

there was some major lazer video that made fun of seapunkers and it immediately died after that

it didn't meme hard enough in the beginning for it to gain momentum to shake off such a diss


WITCHHOUSE
NEVER
DIES

Only difference was that Vaporwave actually is a genre.

Most of these micro genres die after about a year except vaporwave which died and came back when normies discovered it
