Memes aside, is vaporwave worth getting into? If yes, what should I listen to?
>>71058074
Yes.
Start with some Iacon
>>71058074
Nah, 99% of it is talentless and generic. Only people on the fringe of the genre are worthwhile
well theres a bunch of different styles so it's kind of hard to just tell you what to listen to without knowing what youre interested in
do you like 1980s fuji film commercials?
do you like ambient film scores?
do you like the sonic the hedgehog soundtrack?
do you like old madonna?
or you could just start with eccojams

If we're putting memes aside, why are you posting vaporwave?

OP here, actually the only vaporwave album I've listened to was Dark Web by Giant Claw too and I really liked it. Listen to it if you haven't. I'll check this one out
>>71058308
How about you tell me your favorites? I try to listen to different genres as much as I can
>>71058421
I was asking if it's a meme or actually good.
>>71058496
some of it is good, but it's mostly just ambient music anyway, not gonna amaze you with sensational displays of skills.
>>71058074
I really like Luxury Elite and Aloe Island Posse. they're some of the rare futurefunk producers who avoid making their stuff sound too modern, so it's ideal to get those 80s summer vibes going.
>>71058074
Listen to New Age instead.
It's vaporwave without the irony and the memes.
>>71058074
here's a start
>>71058550
not all vaporwave has irony and memes.
>>71058608
Then it's no longer vaporwave.
Vaporwave comes off as extremely tryhard. Especially when I see all that album art.
>>71058625
then a good chunk of vaporwave isn't vaporwave.
>>71058666
You're literally the first person to think that.
Everyone who doesn't like vaporwave thinks that it's actually lazy as fuck. Literally the opposite of tryhard.
>>71058700
A huge chunk of vaporwave is precisely ironic with its criticism of capitalism and memetic with its use of 80s and early 90s stock aesthetics, actually.
>>71058736
Good job on completely failing to contradict what I said, let alone prove it wrong, genius.
>>71058754
Brush-up your reading comprehension buddy.
