bad genre with a few gems

nothing will bring it back as a genre, but the whole 'aesthetic' thing had an unintended impact on the atmosphere of a lot of the internet. It was mediocre most of the time. idk if what I'm saying makes sense.

The aesthetic was influential, people like Yung Lean and Mac Demarco helped bring it to the mainstream internet along with sites like Tumblr. The genre itself was always mostly a niche give or take a few tracks. Most of the people who say they like vaporwave are more into the fashion, memes, philosophy or art than music. It's had more of an impact as a cultural movement than musically.

No vapor.

Only ecco.

tumblr embraced vaporwave from the beginning. Death Grips too.

i just realized vaporwave is literally 6 years old
fuckin mental
its waaaaay overstayed its welcome

yeah I don't like how a lot of normies started associating shit like yung lean and mac with vaporwave. i remember there was some clip of that h3h3 youtube show for 12 year olds that said mac demarco was vaporwave.

jesus fuck

im pretty sure 420 by mac plus has like 20 million views now

The Sad Boyz (and cloud rap in general) association makes complete sense.

Sadly h3h3 is head and shoulders above the other stuff that orbits him. iDubbbz and Filthy Frank are trash.
