It's been 2 days since this comment. Can confirm, Vaporwave is still a thing.

its been 2 days since this comment. Can confirm, v a p o r w a v e is still dank

It's been 24 hours since the comment and I just discovered vapor wave ama keep it alive

+IN Tv it's 2 days since 9/11 2016 and vaporwave is still alive

vaporwave is dead since 2014

I think the fundamental tenet of all criticism is that you can improve your opinion by knowing more about it (although of course it isn't mathematics, it's still subjective), and also that good art will only get better by having that knowledge or context. If you don't agree and you like what you like, I really have no problem with that

I think his point is that it could have been better

I FKIN LOVE VAPORWAVE

vaporwave, citypop, synthwave, all are my shit

@@Youkai_graphics funny how floral shoppe really pioneered an entire genre of music born out of internet culture and the collective misery of the generations raised on it, really grateful to be able to watch the genres grow and adapt to the times

Its declined tho sadly

it has fell off its pupularity by alot though and it switched into lofi-hip hop

Rotcrawler me too

Me three

people like saint Pepsi, James Ferraro, and luxury Elite have an weird vibe to it. James Ferraro has the elevator music. Elite has an chil vibe. And Pepsi has a party, hyper jazz feel

ofc my friend

@@flaxringe and blank Banshee has electronic, HOME has various types of styles, and ALISON chill...

Vaporwave will live throughout the ages!!

yes!

it's 2020, is it still stuck in your mind?

Is it, though? Even, nearly a year ago, was it?

@@nilespeshay1734 yeah, it's not mainstream anymore but it has a pretty big community for how niche it is

​@@nilespeshay1734yes, it still is

Vaporwave it's the grandfather of all the "aesthetics" on the internet

it was still popular at the time

Review it, Anthony baby.

aurel What was the point of writing that.

Seduction.

He will never see that comment.

Jim Hepburn Perceived essence, that's the key word here. I bet most people listening to this are too young to remember what living in the 80s really was about. Seems like some younger people seem to have a strange perception of that decade.

There's just so many layers

+The Great Agitator I'm 32 and I grew up with soft 80's adult contemporary hits squawking thru the intercom speakers of malls, cafeterias, and waiting rooms. staring at a wall covered in 8.5x11 clipart advertisements, nothing to do but endure the boredom of this eternal 40-minute existence - only made worse by the soothing and somewhat depressing smooth jazzy sax over a sterile beat. And then I found Nirvana... and now I think I found something special to me in the asesthetic and idea of vaporwave

I didn't know who made those songs, and I don't know who made these songs... hey, I don't actually know who stole them either. but none of that matters. why should it matter?

+Jim Hepburn yep you are completely spot on

+Graham Jefferson you're high

+Graham Jefferson nvm me too

This is the most vaporwavy comment E V E R

+Graham Jefferson I totally agree, honestly. Vaporwave is meant to be enjoyed then forgotten, like background music to your life. There's other vaporwave I like way more than Macintosh Plus though, like Android Apartment, Luxury Elite, and Dante Mars Ajeto!. I know that Flower Shoppe is the 'iconic' vaporwave album, but there's a lot better stuff out there.

+Graham Jefferson No dad, its SUPPOSED to be unoriginal.

100% said what I feel. Its the best of vapour wave because its less plundery ... Maybe its not plunderphonics, its more chopped and screwed

Indeed.

Only someone from Portland.. lol I love it. I'm glad this type of thing came to be.

It also reminds me of something that may be played in the background in an elevator or a waiting room in that dimension.

It's crazy to really delve in and think about the concept and shit of Vaporwave, honestly. Like. It's such LSD subject matter lol. What if all these Vaporwave albums were simply lost albums from a parallel dimension that "Vektroid" got a hold of somehow, and released them all claiming to have made them, but in actuality is simply.. "The Keeper"... lmao im tripping my ass off im gonna go to this guy more often for acid.

Beefbud Lol!! Awesomeeeee!

The future that could have been, aka the 80s

More like Lo-Fi Hip-Hop and other genres have ripped off Vaporwave and god forbid whatever the heck "Slowed + Reverb" is.

@@HMz83 “white people chopped & screwed” lmao

@@averyjenson Yeah, Slowed + Reverb is pretty much just that

@@HMz83 I didn't knew Slowed + Reverb was a thing, and now i want to forget. Disgusting that it's even a thing, it's literally the opposite of nightcore

-someone who doesn't know what the word lofi means

The style of this video was and will always be favorite.

Try Eco virtual atmospheres 1 and 3

look up the samples used on the album as well, some good songs in there

Pages is so good

I've been listening to Vaporwave for more than a year by now and I still love Floral Shoppe. Vek managed to turn the songs into distorted eerie pieces that are still interesting to listen to, and also without turning them into unlistenable garbage (thing that lots of Vaporwave artists never quite achieve)

NO NOW, CLARENCE CLARITY

RIP

Plasticnightmare // Chase thanks for wasting money

I know right? The arguments that I've seen so far are either, "you don't get my special brand of music!" or "what right do reviewers have to review music!"

Macintosh plus is a female

Charlie Leonard You're right!

So admittedly great sound is a 4/10? Glad I stopped this video 25 seconds in.

xxxViceroyxxx you only watched 25 seconds of the video and are completely fixated on the score rather than the content of the review so I'm not really sure what I can say to someone who can't be arsed to hear a dissenting opinion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i agree it puts me back in the 90's back when i was a kid, hanging with friends that are no longer here, back when i had no worries, it really does work up my emotions hanging out at the park with my mom when i was a kid..shit we need to have a 90's party

Sun Dreams スンドリームズ vaporwave and memes go hand in hand

Backhand Things no memes and culture go hand in hand people who are looking for (vaporwave for example) are looking for something specific, people who are looking for memes look for anything of even slight relevance

beth h that might have been the gayest comment ever

am i wrong?

***** What the fuck makes Daft Punks Sampling "right" and Ramona/Macintosh Plus's "wrong?"

***** Not only is it not very engaging, but it's just straight up lazy sounding. I don't care how 'tragically nostalgic' a vaporwave song may sound to you, at its core each song could have very well been made in under a day. There's nothing to it, it feels like it lacks substance and heart. I'm having a really hard time telling apart the trolls from genuine opinions on the subject of vaporwave. When someone takes a sample and manipulates it (time stretched, pitched, filtered, reversed, chopped up, ect.) and then layers on their own melodies and whatnot to the point where it becomes something entirely new, THAT's interesting. That is engaging and not JUST simply because its complex, but because the amount of work put into creating it more often than not means that the artist was more invested in it. It feels like genuine expression and more unique. It's a part of the ARTIST because we can tell he was creating the song to tell a story and convey a feeling. Not that vaporwave doesn't do that of course, but everything about vaporwave seems to be about how 'nostalgic' shit was. That's it. That's basically the extent of every vaporwave's emotional value, whereis any other genre can express a multitude of emotions and story's while also being musically interesting. I'm all for sample-based music, I play around with it a lot myself, but this kind of stuff seems to me like more of just some experimental idea that got way too popular for its own good. It's just saying "Hey remember the 90's and old Windows PC's? That was nice" over and over again with NOTHING unique added by the artist itself. It's entirely about the listener, and part of me does respect that in terms of an artistic statement or whatever, but cultivating and entire genre from it is a little ridiculous and don't try and sit there and tell me that it's a "fined tuned piece of work" like the other guy in the comments was saying, at that point you're basically just lying.

Glider4 spot the idiot

Glider4 nah jk its just b8 right

***** No. Well for one thing, Ramona does more than just slow down samples. Also something like 420 is very much like something Daft punk would do.

Who is blud talking to

​@@sxmbxdy coundlt reply back in the day

@@sxmbxdy RU-vid used to have a thing where your replies didnt go under "replies" but instead became new entire comments with a ping to the person they're talking and that seems to be a relic of that time, with the ping being removed by youtube too.

Why did you take this L and hate on vaporwave Mr Fanthony?

This is the funniest thing I have read allday, I heard this in the funniest voice.

It's funny because it's ironic

Yeah fuck people for using words that are right.

It's not recognized as a serious genre because it's not a serious genre. Almost all of vaporwave songs are just slowed down 80s song.

Reptile estrin There's a lot more that goes into the production of a lot of good vaporwave than just "slowing down 80s music." One of my favorite albums, virtua.zip, is actually 90% self-composed, and a lot of other popular artists usually throw in a lot of self-composition with their samples (along with stretching, ripping, etc. tracks).

Yung lean isn't that bad. at least the music isn't. I don't know about his personality

What does Yung Lean have to do with vaporwave

***** He used to embrace vaporwave as a part of his music, like a hybrid genre. Not so much anymore, though.

your comment stands out so much to me
