love it, though I can understand why people dislike it. Have any personal favorite albums?

>>68221934
No, not really. I only really know artists. I've been kind of interesting in making it though but I have no idea where to begin. Any albums you can recommend?

Aslo if you really enjoy the vaporwave sound you should check out DJ Screw's remixes.

having so many people making new music constantly makes hard for one to find proper vaporware artists.

Has anybody heard pic-related? It's really nice.

I like it. But mostly the more angsty vaporwave wether it's about capitalism/consumerism, hyperreality or just feeling alienated. It needs some sort of concept for me, not just jumping on the "neato aesthetics" bandwagon.

Oh I already got answered thanks to https://mega.nz/#F!iwABUApY!MaExct8QR-gKyg_2zdt1YA

it very well could be the next stage of normie pop music, you basically dont need a band or a frontman for this, but if it happened i see vaporwere and all the subgenres being famous in 15 or 20 years from now.

>vaporwave

Oh you mean chopped and screwed? DJ Screw is pretty good.

>>68221934
This right here.

Love Macross 82-99, Saint Pepsi, 2814, and of course Vektroid doesn't disappoint.

One of the most predictable concepts for a genre
>muh postmodern capitalism alienation
Woah, you took an art class, that's cool

Honestly I don't really listen to vaporwave for any particular meaning. I've spent all of my life staring at a screen whether if its from a television or a computer. I was never really a social person and my friend count is at least in the single digits. Whenever I listen to vaporwave it takes me back to whenever I was young watching television late at night and now I listen to it while I surf the net late at night. I've spent most of my life online and Vaporwave just brings all these feeling together musically and visually.

>>68223058
I feel like it will create it's own meaning in the future as nostalgic sensation, thus having no meaning at the moment

>>68222158
macross is not vaporwave friend

>>68223319
Future Funk is Vaporwave, senpai.

>future funk is vaporwave
Shit, I'm retarded. I knew it was something akin to a sub-genre, but I never really made the connection that its a more funky and sample-heavy, version of vaporwave.

>>68222222
What's the meme? I don't get it.

Here's one of my favorite albums.

>>68221764

"i'll try living like this is" the peak of vaporwave IMO

Can someone please explain how vaporwave is a meme? I enjoyed it before I knew it was a meme so I'm a little confused.

>>68221764
I d-

/music plays

>>68230134
I guess the over saturation and the pertinacious side of it gave it its meme status.

>>68230134

>I'm from reddit

don't work like that kiddo

topaz gang is aight

I kinda like how it has influenced pop music

but in terms of the sound itself eh

Single, meme incoming, comfiest genre ever. If life ever gets too difficult or stressful im listening to vaporwave. Its artistically bankrupt a times and genius at other times. Its a mixed bag i love sorting through

>>68223365
Future Funk is French House.

Literally.

>>68221764
A once-good genre that, like every other niche genre, got ruined when the normies caught wind of it.

i remember getting into mallsoft back in the day. haven't really been following the scene for a while. are there any new mallsoft releases or something along those lines? (i mean quality albums)

>>68230242

Over saturation where? I've never heard of vaporwave outside of this board.

I only listen to it for the early 90s nostalgic feeling. Reminds me of my youth.

don't forget the SIMPSONSWAVE fad guys. Yeah, it's just vaporwave, but check out those aesthetics

>>68221764
Synthwave is better
