Is this vapormeme? What is vapormeme? Also vaporwave general, I guess.

http://bbrainz.bandcamp.com/album/pizza-contigo

>>50968714
if that's vapormeme then all vaporwave is a meme. which a lot of people here think, I guess. good album though. also, can we try not to have this thread turn into self-promotion/viraling/DC hate circle jerk?

oh who I am kidding it will anyways.

>>50969283
/thread

>>50969283
so why dont you add something positive to say

>>50968714
Vapormeme is just another name for broporwave

>>50969283
So would you say all vaporwave is done "right"?

>>50969379
which doesnt differ from regular vaporwave
potato potato potato

AOTY?

AOTY for new vw artists?

here is an example of vapormeme, taken from the /r/vaporwave sub today

everyone on there shat on it

>>50969406
good and bad like any genre

>>50969333
I did. I think it's a good album. I'm also a realist when it comes to these threads.

>>50969516
nice b8

so what do people usually discuss in vaporwave threads?
im talking discussing here, not namedropping and saying this sucks/this is great

>>50969516
this chart is embarrassing

Does any body have a link for

bloodwave - s e a v i b e s ?

>>50969495
Could you give an example of what you consider bad vaporwave? Is it just that it fails to hold your interest?

>>50969576
people post music, everyone shouts "viralling!" then the thread descends into shit until it slowly fades out

also regular mentions of vektroid being a tranny, calling everything made after 2011 "broporwave" and other general unpleasantness

i actually long for the days of timid orpheus, that is how bad vaporwave threads are now

>>50969577
>>50969574
Why it is so bad?, it seems like a nice vaporwave chart.

>>50969576
vaporwave threads suck

>>50969516
Initiation Tape: Isle of Avalon Edition should probably be included

>>50969647
its a bunch of vw gems mixed with shit and a few classics thrown in

>>50969576
I got one. Will our children laugh at us when we play this stuff around them years from now? also, how do you feel the genre will be looked upon when it eventually does die? a blip, a failure, will it have influenced any other genres? pc music seems to based on some vaporwave ideology but I'm not really into the labels releases

>>50969692
What are the shit ones?

>>50969677
As well as about 50 other missing albums. This chart is trash and the most obvious attempt at viralling I have ever seen on this board. The first album listed is by an artist nobody has ever heard of, and then he has another album further down the list. Really pathetic.

>>50969617
did you or your bros make it? no? then it sucks

Captcha: dataque Hence

>>50969714
Then a productive thing to do would be to make a better one

>>50969696
pc music is for homosexuals

>>50969696
dont bring pc music into this shit

>>50969741
there's already some good ones floating around, whoever made that one was simply trying to promote their album

>>50969617
it really comes down to if I like how it sounds or not. the genre has gotten big enough to where people can either make good or bad from the same kind of template. I suppose I'm more into eccojams influenced releases and stuff inspired by/sampling muzak. I'm not into future funk that much but it's whatever.

>>50969714
idknes is fucking goat nigga, they listed him on the original thread where the anon made that image

>>50969779
bruh what template

>>50969779
Do you like internet club?

>>50969768
just saying ideologically. using irony and whatnot.

What are some good 2014 vaporwave albums? I've only listened to a couple this year
>>50969516
Nebula isn't vaporwave and Hal of those album aren't good, what a bad chart

>>50969741
this chart along with the Mega folder containing all the albums is the best chart made to date, even though i disagree with some of the category names. But for a list of general albums to check out, it's the best one to explore.

https://mega.co.nz/#F!iwABUApY!MaExct8QR-gKyg_2zdt1YA

>>50969838
muzak, 80/90s r&b, smooth jazz. you know, the stuff vaporwave bases itself on.

>>50969847
some of his releases are great, others not so much I think

>>50969908
>Macross
>St. Pepsi
>Yung Bae
>Blank Banshee
okay that's full of shit

>>50969862
as said above, Initiation Tape
Atmosphere 2 and 3 by Eco Virtual
Wave1 by Com Truise
Betaplus by Gosuto Mall
Computer Decay by Infinity Frequencies

all come to mind

>>50969516
>>50969647
>>50969714
yeah, some of these are garbage with some obscure ones added to "look fresh and cool." If you're going to make a NEW essential list, then make one out of only 2014 releases, because we already have a massive well constructed list.

>>50969949
>atmosphere 3
>com Truise which isn't even vaporwave
>a album which is probably yours
Leave

>>50969966
Some anon do this plz
only 2014 releases would be gr8

>>50969919
vaporwave hasnt got a base in shit, its such a floating term and the only reasons it sticks around is, in contrast to earlier microgenres, it's fuckeasy to make

Captcha: sale ChingsAd

>>50969938
I don't get why people like you hate Future Funk

>>50970013
because /mu/ told them it's uncool not to like it

i don't like it myself, but i couldn't give a fuck if people do or not

>>50970013
It's not vaporwave, yeah, it takes some influences, but fuck no it's not vapor.

>>50969999
this

>>50970065
there's no way to define vaporwave anyway, so who gives a shit?

>>50970065
what do you say when ppl claim that vaporwave is just plunderphonics

>>50970012
Um... it does have its roots in those types of music but whatever you wish to believe I guess

>>50969999
this

>>50969999
the problem is if someone does this, they will inevitably be doing it to viral their album

their needs to be a group consensus on what to include, but that can't be achieved on 4chan because people will samefag to get their shit albums onto the chart

>>50970103
Vaporwave is Plunderphonics but with an asthetic within

>>50969989
did you prefer atmosphere 1?

>>50970127
we could list albums and vote maybe?

>>50970110
pet kattle block

>>50969714
idknesxwfk went away a long time ago buddy, i think he no longers makes vapor music, last time i saw a post of him it was informing that he got in a label, but that's the last thing he ever said.

>>50970257
too open to vote rigging wherever you do it

Holy shit nigger are you faggots really tho paranoid that you think everyone is viraling their shit? I listen to vaporwave all the time and always look for new shit, you're taking it too far

>>50970257
Best thing to do is to include all the most popular albums of the year, not what a few people consider to be the "best", because that will inevitably end with people samefagging and viralling their own shit onto the list

>>50970138
what is this "asthetic" then?

>>50970332
dude, you only need to take a look at this >>50969516 to disprove your point

I'll list my personal favorite

this

there should be a monthy list of the top vw albums from various tags on bandcamp. and an archive for all the charts. that way it is based off of something tangible

>>50970371
DARK WEB definitely isn't vaporwave

>>50970369
They are just some random albums in there, no big deal.

>>50970332
alright Ill go make it then
people please make suggestions

>>50970421
I listen to vaporwave every day and i've never heard of IDKNESWF once, yet he has two albums on a chart of about twenty albums listed?

vaporwave is racist

>>50970440
prepare for virallers, look out in particular for any bandcamp albums linked with no "supported by" pictures

>>50970371
Good list
>>50970405
It is actually try again

>>50970485
please explain how it is vaporwave?

>>50970471
Can do
i will post this list when im done and people can make objections if they want

>>50970530
how many will be on the chart?

there should be a community chart that only consists of virallers that anyone can add to so it clears up this viralling nonsense. that way people who want to listen to new obscure stuff can and those artists will get recognition, and everyone else can ignore it. there problem solved. your welcome

>>50970442
He's a Chilean vapor artist, pretty much he's underground in the scene, he makes this pretty-accessible music that sounds like very jpop from the 80's.

>>50970548

>>50970658
ur idknes?

>>50970684
nope :^)

>>50970618
Yeah, it's not that great.
But I do agree on Hologram Plaza and Far Side Virtual.

>>50970065
Future Funk is what vaporwave should be

>>50970700
what? you don't have to like kanye to realize that he puts on a good show.

>>50970652
>It was just not very good
This is what you get when you have a direct democracy. m8. This is the most impartial and unbiased chart, but at the sacrifice of having a couple stupid picks on it

My personal recommendations for the 2014 chart thing

Future City Love Stories - 油尖旺 DISTRICT
Pyravid - GooglePlex Bionetwork
VHS Logos - Mantra
Infinity Frequencies - Computer Afterlife
チェスマスター - NIGHT DRIVE
t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 - 現実を超えて

>>50970704
Yeah I'd keep Floral Shoppe, Eccojams, Far Side Virtual, Shader, Hologram Plaza, and Holograms. But I'd swap out everything else if it were me.

>>50970735
will add

Oh, sorry.

>>50970926
It came out this year

It came out in 2011 originally, re-released this year

Here is the new official vaporwave community chart. add whatever album you want to the list so no one can say your viralling. the whole point of the chart is for underground artists exposure. your welcome. if the template needs to be larder just open in photoshop and cut and copy paste a bigger space. go nuts

>>50970984
oh my god that's big

>>50970984
This is a good idea. Now everyone can shut the fuck up about viraling

>>50970984
Nice idea, hopefully it will put an end to the "viralling" call-out bullshit once and for all. That shit is killing this little genre so hard.

I will add to this don't worry, but here it is so far at least

>>50970984
so what's the difference between this and a vaporwave thread? the whole point of an essentials chart is to save the virtual crate digging, but that's all this chart is.

>>50971035
Nice choices so far, but take off Initiation Tape, that's a re-release from 2011

>>50971039
its not an essentials chart. this is for actual vaporwave fans, not vaporplebs

>>50971035
Replace Initiation Tape for Start / Finish, Tape is an 2011 album.

>>50971035
Please take off Atmospheres 3, that album is so fucking bad and lots of people hated it. Atmospheres 2 I can live with being on there, but not 3.

>>50971035
I love this list, but doesn't everyone hate Atmospheres 3?

>>50971104
>>50971095
>>50971090
>>50971069
I will do this

>>50971035
Take off atmospheres 3 and the Vektroid tape

>>50970980
really? I haven't heard anything better than Blank Banshee

>>50971148
I like Blank Banshee a lot too, his production is certainly the best of any vaportrap, but I prefer the darker ambience on Digital Forest. Just a personal preference.

>>50971077
but i'm saying what's the point? it's literally just a vaporwave thread, except even more prone to viraling. it just seems silly to me

>>50971226
Atmospheres 2 is shit, but it didn't receive near as much hate as 3 did

>>50971218
thank you!

>>50971226
I liked it, everyone on here was just mad that he used the overused cicso call music

Still taking recs for this?

>>50971226
>>50971243
>>50971272
What I don't get about Eco Virtual is how fucking lazy those albums are when his Blank Banshee stuff is so intricately produced and original. I find it very strange

>>50971280
absolutely

>>50969420
doesn't really work in text bro
unless of course you go like

>>50971520

>>50970817

>>50971549

>>50971520
Fukken awesome bruh

>>50971375
Yes I like the first one significantly more than 2 or 3

>>50971549
Not really, this is quite a good list. Still needs some work though.

>>50971548
>>50971575
sounds good

>>50971580
>>50971610
people dont understand sarcasm

>>50971520
looks great but change the background to something darker so we can read the text easier

>>50971657
we need the same anon who made the horrible chart so he can make the new one.

>>50971374
you mean very much like trying to differentiate vaporwave from vaporwave?
had not ocurred to me!

>>50971688
lol

>>50971520
I hadn't heard of Gosuto Mall before. Just listening to this album now and it sounds pretty damn good. I saw CVLTRVE is linked in the sidebar, is it a side-project of his?

>>50971688
This one looks good to me, just needs a new background and maybe move the angle of the shadow a bit so it isn't flat.

>>50971840
No, really, he made such a perfec and read-able chart, but the albums in it were horrible.

>>50971520
too bad all these suck. vhs logos is the only one that's passable. we can pretend all we want but late 2011-early 2013 vaporwave will always be the best

>>50971906
Nigger 2014 has been really good for vaporwave you are lame

>>50971906
this is such a silly and tired argument

>>50971846
Yeah, they're pretty talented and able to make a shit ton of music.

>>50971906
oh my god, 2014 has been such a perfect year for vaporwave, vhs is decent, not the best.

>>50971995
what are some notable albums? obsucure or otherwise

>>50972018
check the ongoing chart that is being made, it contains a lot

>>50971962
>>50971970
>>50971995
the only people who think this are people who made albums in 2014

>>50972018
Night Drive, Start / Finish and YAOILIFE, SIMPLE 事態, t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 - 現実を超えて, and a lot of shit more, i'm glad that vaporwave is still going strong after all this.

fuck off out of the thread then

to suggest a genre of music could only produce good music one year and then shit the next is total stupidity

>>50969577
thats because vapourwave is embarassing. alogn with the major of sample driven music.

>>50972101
plz upload .png

>>50972099
you forgot Pyravid - Googleplex Bionetwork, which is the best album released in 2014

why did you listen to him about those.. other than that i like it

>>50972197
i wanted to make the chart even

>>50972110
it's hilarious how nothing gets people more riled up than saying this year sucked for vaporwave. i like vaporwave you dolt. i listen to it all the time, and i've listened to every album in that chart except for 2. its just that none of it is good, including whichever album of those is yours

>>50972184
this, get your shit together anon.
>>50969516
this one has a GOAT design, but a shit chart tho

>>50972226
are you a masochist? you continue to follow a genre you don't like?

>>50972146
>>50972184
Fix these chart guy
>>50972226
If you don't like it you don't have to whine and bitch about it. Just go your own way

>>50972239
Just copy the way the shadowing is done off this chart and make the background more simplistic and blurred so we can read the text and this new chart will look fine

>>50972226
my unpopular opinions are fact

>>50972286

i tried not to give up hope that i'd find something i liked this year but you gotta know when to call it

the pink looks horrible bro, go back with the dark background but blur it so the text is a little bit more readable

so basically virallers trying to call out other people as virallers because they feel like their position is threatened. i wish i had the early 2014 community back. they were so much better

Why don't you just ignore them? It's gotten better recently anyways

is viraler the new meme-rap?

>>50972722
woah, guess I'd better download this guys entire discography, I had no idea they produced this much jesus.

>>50972875
>Look mom! I posted it again!

>>50972918
no seriously, we didnt all agree that the chart was finished yet. someone must have been excited that their album was on their and then in a hurry posted it to reddit so nobody could change it.

>>50972969
Alright you make the new chart then, it's all up to you, noone else.

>>50973049
youre missing the point...

im not saying i want the chart to be for me only. im saying that the other one wasnt finished yet

>>50973090
it is, it is short as it was intended to be made, it dosen't need any change,

>>50973090
What the hell is wrong with the latest chart? it's fine, everyone agreed on what albums should be put on there.

>>50972722
whaaaat, cvltvre did all those albums? Nouveau Life, Lenscorp and Soul Enterprises? There's some on here I haven't even heard either that I'm going to check out. This guy is seroiusly talented

This is like the time when I found out Vektroid was eight or ten of my favorite vaporwave artists

>>50973233
incorporeal visions deluxe is amazing

>>50972722
>internet inspired music
I like this description a lot

>>50973233
oh my god and Incorpororeal Visions Deluxe too, I just noticed

this guys discography alone could make up half of my albums of the year

so i use [spoiler]itunes[/spoiler] and my question is, since there are many split albums, is there a way to have an album show up under both artists? how do you guys sort split albums (like, for example, 猫 シ Corp. & Stereo Component) in your media player?

>>50973403
Napolian's split with computer dreams I left just as
Napolian/Computer Dreams

>>50973430
so you have Napolian, Computer Dreams, and Napolian/Computer Dreams as 3 separate artists?

I think i found a better vaportrap artist than Blank banshee

>>50973403
Album Artist field I think?

Album Artist: "Corp and Stereo Component"

then Artist for each individual track

I'm really unsure though, I don't use iTunes

>>50973468
Yeah, i mean it's messy but it gives credit to the artist i guess. You could just stick it under one of the artists' names

>>50973519
Nah, Banshee is better than Contact Lens

>>50971520
viral shit. just leave already

>>50972377
This is decent guys but could still be refined some more

Buy The Full Digital Album.

>>50973716
suggestions?

>>50973706
how is it viral when everyone in the thread contributed to it dumb fuck?

>>50973722
I listened to it today for the first time and I would agree

>>50973760
it was a whole bunch of viruses, now its a full blown auto-immune disease that will surely kill vaporwave in time

>>50973739
Vaperror - Mana Pool has to go on there, best vaportrap album of the year I think

>>50973819
You're right. You are absolutely correct. Vaporwave is basically already dead.
Oh look! it died. just like that!

>>50973861
No more albums, just keep it how it is
