So, help me out here.
Vaporwave, as I understand it, is kids born in the late '90s and up fetishizing the 1980s (or some weird hypercolor version of it) because they're nostalgic for a time they didn't actually experience?

(It should be of note that the 1980s were not all that great)

It's hard to define because it's mostly a joke, but you're kinda right.
It's more a ironic critique of the consumer culture of the 80s and 90s combined with over-the-top nostalgia.

You know watching pictures like these always wakes me into that realization that there has been times when fighting in a battles like these, death was almost certain. Thousands and thousands died in grim and brutal situations. Yet, they still fought because that's how it was. Modern technology really makes battlefields cleaner. It is good to live in the 21st century.

Vaporwave is nostalgia for the 1990 future in contrast with the apocalyptic future visions in the decades that followed. The 80s and 90s (like the 20's and 50's) were optimistic decades, but 9/11 and the eventual 2008 economy saw to that. To the late 90's demographic, it's an optimism they just missed. Life was simple and the future was beautiful, but for most of their aware lives the zietgiest vision hasn't looked that way. Now in the late 2010s optimism seems to be filtering back in, with vaporwave and deco revivalism.

I, for one, welcome our optimistic future overlords. I'll see you faggots on the /k/ planet, celebrating liberty and human ingenuity by firing G11s in volley.

>>33690645
Another bit I forgot to mention: in the 80's and 90's, computers were still magic. The 90's and early 2000's were to computers and the internet as the 20's were to aviation. Wonder over the democratization of computing drove a lot of that optimism, and it's return now is due in no small part to the democratization of production in the form of 3d printing and the "maker age" as Adam Savage describes it, and the proliferation of "future-y" computing like VR, the sort of shit we were promised back in 1990.

/r/ing a old painting i have been trying to find for awhile, I think i originally found it in a weapons book of mine.

Its a army of knights on horseback, looking war tired, and very murderous. I am pretty sure on a beach, you dont see much of the landscape as the focus is on the horses and their riders but it is overcast. at the forefront of the painting is a very rugged looking horse with its head turned to the veiwer, its eyes looking tired and war ridden. I would say they are vikings, but I think i remember reading somwhere it was actually normans or english knights returning from france.

The look of the horse is what stuck by me, if any of you know the painting I am talking about it would be much appreciated if I could see it again.

Hmm i would usually focus on the war horse aspects when I searched. The fact they where actually Normans was kind of a guess but I remember seeing the painting years ago when reading about the 100 years war so it was kind of a shot in the dark.

No really /k/ related in a battle sense, But this painting reminds me of the struggle between good and evil, as it shows Lucifer as a man who seems to be staring into your soul as if saying that he is always inside you and it is your choice weather you awake him or not, he will not judge you but you will judge yourself. take it as you will.

Is interesting to point that the artist, Tom Lea, was really present in the battlefield as war artist for the LIFE magazine. That one painting was inspired in something he have seen in the Battle of Peleliu :

>I fell flat on my face just as I heard the whishhh of a mortar I knew was too close. A red flash stabbed at my eyeballs. About fifteen yards away, on the upper edge of the beach, it smashed down four men from our boat. One figure seemed to fly to pieces. With terrible clarity I saw the head and one leg sail into the air.

>I got up… ran a few steps, and fell into a small hole as another mortar burst threw dirt on me. Lying there in terror looking longingly up the slope for better cover, I saw a wounded man near me, staggering in the direction of the LVTs (Landing Vehicle - Tracked). His face was half bloody pulp and the mangled shreds of what was left of an arm hung down like a stick, as he bent over in his stumbling, shock-crazy walk. The half of his face that was still human had the most terrifying look of abject patience I have ever seen. He fell behind me, in a red puddle on the white sand.

This piece of propaganda is unique and moving because it doesn't attempt to paint the soldier as some kind of romantic hero, in fact he looks pretty miserable. The message here is not "Everything is well and fine", the message is : "I know it's shitty right know, but we will get through it".
