Any vaporwave literature?

Wouldn't that just be cyberpunk?

I was thinking the the 2814 stuff, which is very much inspired by the Wong Kar Wai type of movies.

No, vaporwave is like recycling/distorting an old text and changing it so that gives off an extra nostalgic/moody feeling of the age it was originally from.

Fuck off, it's cyberpunk.

"The style often involves classical sculpture, web design, surrealism, low-poly computer renderings, glitch art, VHS recordings, cassette tapes, Japanese art and cyberpunk tropes"

Androids dream of electric sheep, neuromancer etc. etc.

When reading Tri-Stan: I Sold Sissee Nar to Ecko in Brief Interviews with Hideous Men by DFW I imagined it as trippy vaporwave.

Harlan Ellisons anthology The Last Dangerous Visions
The third and final Dangerous Visions anthology
Its been waiting for publications since the mid 1970s
Over a hundred stories were submitted for it
It was to be published in three volumes
Quite a few of the older submitting authors have since died

I mean, The Legacy of Totalitarianism in the Tundra, surely?

But it's an interesting idea. If we take the tenants of vaporwave, that is:
- a fetishizing / parody of late 80s and early 90s aesthetics
- a critique of commercialisation
- a the reuse of vintage source materials
- an aura of eerie nostalgia and general ephemerality

Could this be translated to this written word?
The closest I could think is maybe some sort of parody of 80s self-help / new age books. Possibly a Burroughs style 'cut-up' of an existing book into something new. The incorporation of early computer manuals perhaps? A multimedia text that incorporates 80s manga?

I think a vaporwave novel would have to grapple strongly with themes of memory and pop culture. Cyberpunk, but set in the past instead of the future, almost. Something akin to Oneohtrix Point Never's 'Replica' but in written form. Interesting thought experiment....

There's already a serious study on vaporwave: "Babbling Corpse: Vaporwave And The Commodification Of Ghosts" by Grafton Tanner.
