Can you tell me how to make vaporwave songs to go along with my vaporwave art?

Take it seriously. I can't tell you how much it pisses me off to see minimal effort treated as the norm. Vaporwave art can be beautiful, but it can also be terrible. Usually, terrible art is the result of a person who is doing it because they think it's easy. It's not.

I'm sure you can see the difference between this:

And this:

The former represents low-effort shit. The latter, something made by a person with a desire to make pleasing art.

There's a bunch of stuff here:

Sometimes there's good stuff here, but don't expect too much. They have some producers that talk about their process occasionally, too. This is the newest one:

This is a good tutorial for traditional Vaporwave:

Also, FrankJavCee is a bad influence.

You could just go with the typical vaporwave memes, or you could watch 80s and 90s vhs logo screens if you want to get a good feel for the roots of the aesthetic.

It all comes down to never doing any hand drawn work and making a computer make your art, the people behind the original stuff were non-artists trying to be artistic. A poor color is essential aesthetic, pink and purple were really dominant in the 80s and 90s art tends to use all the colors of the rainbow, never grayer ones, except for pure grays. And don't go for a flat graphical look otherwise your art will look too timeless, you want it to look dated, overdo it with primitive effects like gradients, blurs, drop shadows (make them blurry not flat) and glows.
