Do people still like Vaporwave? -

I think twitter is the only place I ever see vaporwave related stuff.

 

[Rokko]

Yes/No
Depends on the musical taste of the person that likes it/doesnt like it.

It's a meme but vaporwave is actually kind of nice sometimes. Like, if I had to peg something for "silly music meme" I'd peg nightcore over vaporwave. Nightcore is just bleh.

Vaporwave is just low effort instrumental hip hop with sample curation by tumblr. Fite me IRL.

I kinda like it. Just because the honeymoon phase is over doesn't mean it's bad now.

Did people ever like vaporwave?

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I like it.
But as I've said elsewhere here I know I have bad taste.

 

[CIA Nigger]

Yes and no. On one hand slowed down 80s songs and samples have fallen out of style, being replaced by synthwave and similar sub genres with a clear vaporwave influence. On the other hand the visual part of vaporwave continues to stick around and has morphed with the times while drawing influences from other eras (mainly the 80s). Then again as events such as Radwood have shown there's a growing interest in that aesthetic outside of internet culture as well.

Vaporwave is pretty much like the new slender man

I do personally like vaporwave and futurefunk still, but some of the songs sampled especially the japanese ones sound better as they were originally made. In fact I would say the popular opinion is vaporwave and futurefunk has led to people to discovering Japanese City Pop and that's why Plastic Love exploded on youtube like it did.

I love the idea of vaporware but the community around it is autistic and they all sound like the same two or three songs

Probably because some of them try to copy people like SaintPepsi because people like his samples. The thing that I like and hate most about Vaporwave is the youtube channels that use the artists songs with a gif from an anime from the 80's/90's. Its great because I find new music and anime to watch. The issue is if they don't credit the artist or expect to get money for it and sell merch based on their supposed "brand" for example Artzie and Truelove music do the exact same type of thing only one uses 80's anime and the other uses current anime gifs. I don't understand why they would set up Patreons and the like when the content isn't even theirs. In Artzie's case some of the artists thank them for the exposure, but I don't think its deserving of money. If people want to pay for it so be it. Sorry for my autistic rambling.
Edit: I can't fucking type today sigh.

I enjoy the search terms "vaporwave," "synth wave," and "synth chill" on youtube, but I don't give a fuck about the term or genre outside of what I can listen to for free while I'm working on something.

I do, sometimes.

 

[A shitty ass clover]

There' a lot of artists that do a pretty good job imo (Macross82-99, Yung Bae, Saint Pepsi Not sure if Vanilla is Vaporwave but i guess him as well)

 

[Ilackcreativity]

I think its alright.

This. Honestly OG vaporwave from like 2012 was very much a meme, though still pleasant to listen to. Synthwave, Futurefunk, chillwave, and the original city pop stuff actually hold up on their own and I'm really digging it. It's kinda funny cause when my dad was around my age he got really into smooth jazz. Anyway I'm gonna be seeing Yung Bae live in a couple weeks.

If I need some background music, sure.

 

[Smug Chuckler]

It's great for watching depressing abandoned mall videos.

 

[Slowpoke Sonic]

I probably still listen to it (sometimes)
