Is transforming into a completely sample-free genre the only way vaporwave can stay relevant in 2024?
>>121795151Not necessarily, live vaporwave will play a big part in it though
Why are you so hung up on it being sample-free, I don't see how thats relevant at all on its longevity
>>121795474Id submit to something like this if it was in the US, im not travelling to Belgium
>>121795534I'm not far from Belgium and I've been watching these since they started. Good for them that they're finally having a live one, but I'm not sure if I want to submit anything. Even though I'm a fairly popular vaporwave artist, I'm not sure if I want my "brand" associated with something like that. It'd still be cool to attend though.
>>121795512theres only so many 80s songs you can slow down in audacity before it gets old
>>121795534theyre pre recorded sets, you dont actually have to go in person
>>121795474>Music should be as slushy as possibleWhat the fuck does this mean
>>121795512Just look at George ClantonThe only vaporwave artist to reach real mainstream success
>>121795474>watch a knob twiddler stand behind a little table
>>121795958kek
do you ever see in your dreamsall the castles in the sky
>>121795958Pretty sure most of these vaporwave "concerts" have at least a few sampleless vaporwave acts in order for them to actually be able to play live and not be completely fucking boring and talentless than they already are, so its more like>watch some obese asshole press a note on a keytar for 5 minutes behind a little table
>>121796022idk, ive watched videos of fm skyline live and at least hes actually playing a keyboard
I think using AI to make vaporwave will catch on
>>121795979How does it still manage to hold up after all these years?
>>121796110this is the most vaporwave thing possible when you think about it
>>121796156Soulless, demonic, and created in the laziest way possible? You're right!
>>121796213>da devil in my compoota!
>>121796213somehow they found a way to make it MORE lazy. you don't even have to search up music to steal on youtube anymore, just have a machine spit it out for you and pop that baby right into audacity
>>121796228If you've ever heard AI generated music you'd know what I mean. That's really the only way to describe it.
>>121796213no i mean that using ai to produce vaporwave fits with the themes of vaporwave to a teeits literally "nostalgia for a time that never was" by using music that literally doesnt exist, created by a computer entity which is cyberpunk af
>>121795151Brave of you to make this thread amidst both the Kendrick/Drake beef and Albini's death
>>121796950not to mention sewerslvts retvrn
>>121796950>>121797047Busy week huh
>>121797217Not really, just mass industry shilling
>>121795512because samples... LE BAD... OK?????
>>121797590Samples aren't bad but don't call yourself an "artist" if all you're doing is slowing down other people's music
>>121797617>I am the arbiter of who and who isn't an artist!>*burns mouth on hotpocket*
>>121797669Vaporwave producers are curators at best, let's be real
>>121797692this definitely isnt the case for eccojams, opn used samples as a paintbrush on a canvas instead of just putting literally an entire song on 75% speed like modern vaporwave (barber beats)
>>121795151>stay relevantit hasn't been relevant since 2016
>>121798773This, 2015 is where it really started to decline then by 2017 it was totally dead
>>121795151>make synthwave and 80s style music>post it on my SoundCloud>slow it down to 75% speed, edit slightly>post it on my SoundCloud as a totally different song>artificially double my outputBased or cringe?
>>121799206Based, more artists should make chopped and screwed remixes of their music outside rap

>>121799316I think it leans a little too far synthwave to really work slowed down, but I prefer the second one
>>121799277is track 9 sample-free? it sounds a little "modern"
JADED AS I AM
>>1217993162nd vapor version was pretty neat, smoked a cigarette to itAlso dont use AI art for your music, its tasteless and insulting >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>https://rrrxrrrxrrr.bandcamp.com/https://auragraph.bandcamp.com/Name dropped on adult swim bump^^^^https://geometriclullaby.bandcamp.com/album/in-acres-of-night
>>121800140>Also dont use AI art for your music, its tasteless and insultingThis, just do a shitty photoshop job like everyone else
>>121800140holy 'sthetic
>>121795474Realistically how many people will show up to this
Its interesting that at the time MUZAK was widely avoided, just a terrible corporate- pleasant genre you wouldn't be caught dead listening too. And now people who can't play instruments are slowing it down and liking it. I wouldn't have picked that back then.
>>121801796>And now people who can't play instruments are slowing it down and liking itFurthermore people are actually intentionally replicating bad muzak on purpose with this "sample free" shit
>>12180174910 (including the artists)
>>121796263no it's just uncanny and your brain says demon
yup
>>121801796>can't play instruments I'm pretty sure some Vaporwave artists were in bands before they started making Vaporwave.
>>121810971Such as?
>>121802699kek
>>121811674Blank Banshee is an obvious one but I think that's common knowledge at this point considering half of Blank Banshee is just him sampling his band
>Listen to sample free Vaporwave>Mostly just sounds like new age crap
super high definition rainforest
>>121814503Any specific examples? To me most "sample free vaporwave" just sounds like straight up drone ambient because its piss easy to produce
>>121814806i blame 2814
>>121795151>Is transforming into a completely sample-free genre the only way vaporwave can stay relevant in 2024?We need a movie.Or shit coming from netflix.
>>121796213vaporwave created ai-generated slop before it was cool and even possible.
>>121817309kek
>>121816845There already is one, but it's been in development hell for years now
>>121816845what would a vaporwave tv show be like?
>>121814806desert sands entire discography
>>121814442He was a drummer of all things
>>121814503What even is new age
>>121820554>t. dessert hams shilling himself pathetically yet again
>>121823863nope, just calling him out for making forgettable ambientslop
>>121823863What are your thoughts on this "rapper beef" shit? A few days ago I counted and it took up literally an entire quarter of the board
>>121795947>popular therefore le good
>>121795151Desert Sand Feels Warm At NIght does excellent sample free vapor
>>121826009based
>>121795151Thats fucking retarded
>>121795151All genres have to transform to stay relevant, just look at jazz
>>121828350Why are you telling us what your Dad said about you the day you were born?
>>121795947Readers added context they tought people might want to know: He is nowhere near "Mainstream". You know it. I know it. We all know it. So who are you kidding?
>>121830078jej
>>121830198Ironically he's mostly just known for his vaporwave alias, nobody actually knows who the fuck "George Clanton" is
>>121796110someone just made a thread entirely to shill thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGvDT1e06cAsounds even worse
>>121831197The problem with AI trying to generate vaporwave is that it doesn't know what "vaporwave" is, it's usually trained on more popular genres, so when it tries to generate "vaporwave" it just spits out generic synthwave or lo-fi hiphop, etc.
>>121831469
>>121817922That's really kinda perfect though; its true Vaporware.
>>121831923>Yo, video game dudesis this really how they talked back then
>>121831944Holy shit you're rightMaybe that's the whole point, that the movie itself is vaporware
>>121831952yes, and it was rad
