i always thought the aquatic ambience song was creepy when i was little.

and vaporwave still seems to be alive and kicking, i’m always discovering new vaporwave artists every week. it seems to be trend that the vaporwave artists keep themselves as faceless as possible, so maybe its all the same person. Chuck Person?

I love this genre. A friend told me about it years ago and it didn’t make sense, but now there’s a large catalogue it’s easier to process. It makes me laugh. A few healthy more commercial releases I think helped me go back and discover the sound. I love the Business Casual label. And yeah you could add Wave Race 64 to that list. You can totally hear the influence a lot in some releases :) in many ways it’s nostalgic for kids that grew up in the 80’s, but I also think there’s a yearning for young kids that didn’t grow up in that time but wish they did.

Never really thought of aquatic ambience as vaporwave. love that whole dk soundtrack though. pretty crazy that all of that apparently was made with hex code, no midi, no samples (or very limited samples at least)

that being said vaporwave has always been something that i thought id love, because im way into the eccojams/sunsetcorp/games side of lopatins’ work, but everything ive heard on the internet has been pretty underwhelming.

I do love a lot of the stuff that people posted above me though

Wow thanks for the great recommendations, Lucas! That track by ＤＯＮＴ/ BＥ/ 正方形 you posted is amazing. Vaporwave at its finest! I love 80’s synthfunk and boogie — those rich, beautiful chords and snappy moog basses. So tracks like that I really love.

So bizarre- i spent the whole weekend alone, listening to ECCOと悪寒ダイビング on repeat on the beach, and in my van with my bose portable speaker. At one point, a extra serious frisbee match took place, between a man in his late fifties, and a nude woman. His actions were swift, but everything was still in slow motion. It even had the perfect amount of low brow, as most attempts at making between the leg retrievals, were failed with grace. I wandered from beach to beach, did some minor fiberglass work on my 7’6″ , drank some beer and ate chips with hand chiseled garlic slices from a chisel i procured from K-mart, with Little Ceasers internal- still boasting its early 90’s branding. K-mart was late 90’s. For some reason,- whatever universal processes, are effecting the enjoyment of this soft, windblown, high rise one piece bikini, with an endless horizon of neon windsurfers in the distance, seems to have arrived or left at the perfect time.

This post reeks of “we liked it before it was cool” in them most condescending and pretentious way.

Amused – Coolman1, who cares? Why is it a bad thing for people to get excited about something?
