That's a mound

She's wearing a dress, how can you even see her mound?

>ywn listen to OPN with swgf

>opn
eh
don't think she'd like it too much

Explain your reasoning

Why does a popful girl in a leotard convey the essence of futurefunk so well?

>plop
what did he mean by this

just the hypothetical sound of an image being posted
what did you think it meant?

Seapunk > all the rest

that’s the order of those girls sexiness

Future Funk is closely associated with "fun" and "peppy" anime-imagery of the late 80s and early 90s, such as that contained in Dirty Pair and Ranma 1/2. Characters in such shows were often sexy young women in weird/Charlie's Angels/Ghost Hunters-tier jobs, and in addition to their day(night) jobs, they also have private lives where they shower and bounce around and go to the gym and so on (fan service). This imagery both apes and goes well with western imagery of the 1980s, which features chicks in legwarmers (Flashdance, except when the double is a young boy, look it up), workout videos, Richard Simmons, etc. Workout chicks in legwarmers is a global 1980s kitcsh trope that most first-worlders instantly understand, and once about one generation has elapsed, it's nostalgia time, as those who grew up with whatever the imagery was 20-30 years ago, become adults and mine their own retro (Lucas, Carpenter, Spielberg and the people who made Happy Days are good examples of old boomers/just-a-bit-older than boomers maybe who mined 40s/50s culture for 1970s entertainment).

See around 7:30 of the popular mashup video (which I unironically think is a wonderful mix and I happily promote) for an AV example of this postmodern trope. It's true that Artzie Music has been going very hard at this meme-confluence, but I enjoy the videos made so it's all good.

Further, the specific drawing style of FF and SW is clearly aping early 1990-ish Masamune Shirow. Shirow illustrates well-defined chicks up to fun punk-stuff. A vignette in the original Appleseed manga perfectly captures what I had been talking about above: Deunan has had a busy day being an ESWAT fascist thug for the new State so to relax she goes to a spa with a new friend, they get nekkid for some fan service, and chat politics. The personal lives of sexy young women in high-tech society alongside their high-powered jobs. All just variations on Blade Runner.

seapunk is not a music genre, it's an aborted attempt at a fashion trend

ocean grunge is the musical endeavor that's associated with it, but since it has no definitive musical characteristics outside of maybe reverb, it's not a musical genre either

So in your opinion synthwave-tan is hotter than futurefunk-tan?

Explain.

similar bodies but SW wins based on face, red hair, and bike + gun combo

I see, that makes a lot of sense.

Great read. I'm a bit older so I remember Ranma, Project A-ko, Tenchi Muyo and this is just right up my alley in aesthetics, but the music is not too interesting sadly. At least internet culture seems to be veering into just listening to the unchopped records, which I much prefer.

That sounds more like a synthwave thing.

I really don't think the squad goal mix is a good example of future funk. It's got some good tunes but some of it is kind of overblown. Then again it's been a while since I've listened to it.
>Flashdance, except when the double is a young boy, look it up
well I'm glad I never actually bothered watching or fapping to it then

I'll stick with Killer Workout

Why is this image posted so much?

for fappening and discussion purposes

it's cute, god dude think

>god dude think
wat

Happy that some people liked the post and didn't just call an aspie although that was a bit of a long way to go. Gonna push my luck and blogpost just a bit about exactly why I like the sound, have another fun one:

youtube.com/watch?v=eRewGUmmBQA

Future funk is actually PERSONAL for me, in a way. I'm that balding old fuck with piles of ranma VHS in the closet who always also liked electronic music. I listened to badly-dubbed Daft Punk casettes (I had hooked my new DVD player and D.A.F.T. DVD up to my tape deck, taking dubs of the remix clips for the car tape deck), tooling around town. At the very same time, I had these old Intron Depot books (Shirow cheesecake/porno art books) that I'd masturbate to furiously. The same spectacular mental activities happening around the same time.

Then, one day, on Toonami, a series of music videos were aired: The first four segments of what would be released as Interstella 5555. Imagine my pleasure. Some years later youtube starts get going, among other things.

I /get/ future funk, as a cheesy confluence of two things which are pleasant to certain people, however spergy they may be. Not that it's that hard to get, for people who want to enjoy it. Somewhere, thirty years ago either in the past or in the future, there is a /fucking perfect/ nightclub which manages one excellent set, at least once a month-sometimes enjoyed by our above anime-bimbos, among other scrubs. That's what Future Funk is. Yellow Magic Orchestra on Soul Train, sped up a bit.

itt: autists

>massive bass and lowpass fade
If I wanted this early 2000s club-going douchebro stuff I'd listen to daft punk.

That's exactly what I call bad futurefunk.

Nice to see the vaporwave community finally evolving to deviantart levels of retardation.

>finally evolving
>finally
so you're the retard here

t. furry breakbeat producer

Sounds to me like you only get French House. Which is very unsurprising for someone who think Artzie Music's mixes are good.

Regular old Jpop is much better, honestly. But to each its own, some Vaporwave can be fun, at least the first wave which I feel was trying to go beyond pastiche.

youtube.com/watch?v=uTuMK-ZMPVY

S'not about going beyond pastiche, it's more about tastefully selecting samples, being a bit witty about it, having a strong theme, and coming up with ways to make it sound fresh and entertaining without fucking up the nostalgia aspect.

Doing it well, really.

>it's more about tastefully selecting samples, being a bit witty about it, having a strong theme, and coming up with ways to make it sound fresh and entertaining without fucking up the nostalgia aspect.
But you can just listen to the original music for that, but like I said I'm not gonna shit on anyone, I just don't get it.

More Jpop youtube.com/watch?v=hhetXL7KmZA

The original music doesn't have the extra edge of looping/distortion.

Like I always say, listening to city pop is like listening to pristine recordings of a Wagner opera, listening to vaporwave/futurefunk(that doesn't suck) is like listening to some gritty martial industrial tape collage thing. different feel.

I actually sometimes get more of a nostalgic vibe from vaporwave/futurefunk because it's made to sound like a warped and worn-out tape recording. It sounds ancient and stuff.

Your rhetoric undermines itself. I said, "I like/(understand) X because Y and Z are similar things from my youth and so it's fun to take X, Y and Z together, in a progression, the better to appreciate X." In reply, you said, "No, you really only like Y, so you don't really "like" X (like/understand function the same way here), but you really do like X after all". You defeat yourself with your own final clause. You don't know how to argue.

youtube.com/watch?v=kvDMlk3kSYg

You like futurefunk that sounds almost exactly like French House.

And you said that you like it because you like Daft Punk.

SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU ONLY GET FRENCH HOUSE

And tranny stuff, which explains why you shitpost about Deunan's hips on /m/.

You're what's wrong with the futurefunk scene.

>I actually sometimes get more of a nostalgic vibe from vaporwave/futurefunk because it's made to sound like a warped and worn-out tape recording. It sounds ancient and stuff.
I can see that for the best FF, but a lot of it has so much reverb it sounds so synthetic. Old Jpop has warmth and always felt analog.

I am going to make love to Ukyo and raise a family of three kids with her and no other male hussies will stop me!

Ukyo's fluffiness is mine tho!

Not if I pat her head first!

I'm pretty big on reverb. I kinda like the synthetic aspect, gives the impression that it's coming from a computer ten miles deep in a cave in the post-apocalyptic future or something. Or a psychedelic atmosphere cause you're on drugs in cyberspace and stuff. That's why I compared it to martial industrial, which uses reverb to give the idea that the music is being broadcast over shitty speakers in a stadium or throughout a city during a bomb raid. There's a big element of contextualization in vaporwave/futurefunk that's not inherent to actual Jpop. Unless you actually listen to it on a shitty cassette player inside of a cave.

I don't post on /m/ so not that dude, and "defending the scene" is always ridiculous no matter what you're doing. The rest of this is nonsense.

(I feel YOUNG again, being in a stupid pissing match which I've promoted..!)

>I don't post on /m/ so not that dude
sure, mister skeleton structure

Okay saint pepsi is a little better, that's more like it.

Here's what I consider to be some of the best futurefunk even if it's very close to vaporwave depending on the tracks
youtube.com/watch?v=OJdQbGvlqK8

It’s hooked up to one of those vibrators that goes with the music while simultaneously synced to wireless headphones

that explains the puffiness of the vulver
