Feel It All Around got played on TV and TikToks which explains its success. Clanton has yet to make such a song that popular and wide reaching.
>>
>>121650780
How is it vaporwave then? It's just done a 360 back to being chillwave
>>
>>121650911
Because he blended the two together but leaning more towards Chillwave.
>>
>>121650923
Then it isn't vaporwave
>>
https://soundcloud.com/hentaivideos/qpodejsikpnu/s-X3UzzKC3HzQ
>>
>>121650938
It is but leans more towards Chillwave. Kinda like how Dreampunk is Vaporwave but leans more towards Ambient without any samples.
>>

>>
>>121650965
What's an example of some of Clanton's work that fulfills this criteria?
>>
>>121650984
His Esprit stuff obviously, but he has some solo tracks that are like that.
>>
>>121650969
great, more "live vaporwave" but it's in yurop this time
>>
>>121650991
He just took some old demos of his and slowed them down, any music that's slowed down isn't automatically "vaporwave"
>>
>>121651006
They aren't demos if he made them full fledged songs in his solo output, though. He is effectively remixing and sampling himself on Esprit, fulfilling that part of the Vapor criteria. Not everything has to be Eccojams or Far Side Virtual to be Vaporwave.
>>
>>121651023
>He is effectively remixing and sampling himself on Esprit
That doesn't mean it's vaporwave though, otherwise any rapper who makes screwed remixes of their music is "vaporwave"
>>
>>121651034
Sampling isn't what makes it Vaporwave, it's the Chopped and Screwed editing style along with the '80s/90s nostalgia.
>>
>>121651053
How is virtua.zip 80s/90s? It sounds painfully modern and inauthentic
>>
>>121651062
Well, for one example the synthesized faux steel drums in some of the songs are noticeably '80s. The cover art is of Virtua Fighter which came out in '93. It's kinda obvious what he was going for.
>>
>>121651105
It's about as "80s" as synthwave
>>
>>121651114
Yes, that's exactly the idea. It's just '80s revivalism without actually being '80s.
>>
>>121651150
If you're doing sample-free vaporwave the goal should be getting as authentic of a sound as possible, not "putting your own spin on it"
>>
>>121651167
He's doing something new with an established genre that existed because of pre-established music, it's not that unwarranted.
>>
>>121650993
I wonder if I should bother going
>>
>>121651221
At any rate, virtua.zip was one of his best works, and he seems to be veering farther and farther from that style

>>121652290
Most people just assume "80s" sounding music therefore vaporwave, regardless of if it actually is or not. FM Skyline for example is just generic "80s" BGM, that alone doesn't constitute vaporwave.
>>
>>121652328

his music is usually tagged as chillwave anyway

the most tiresome pedantry that seems to never end. the world is telling you that such music fulfills every criteria that people expect from "vaporwave", handily overruling your retarded pronouncements. consider taking the hint. one wonders why you care
>>
>>121654224
chillwave and synthwave and vaporwave are all separate things
fuck off redditor
>>
>>121654206
He comes in every vaporwave thread and calls anyone who posts even mildly popular artists a "shill". He even called Vektroid a shill once, (I'm assuming because he doesn't know that's actually Macintosh Plus). It's clear he knows nothing about the genre and his only purpose is to derail.

Then they're fucking retards who don't know what vaporwave is. If FM Skyline is "vaporwave" then so is literally any 80s/90s music.
>>
>>121654411
a big part of what killed vaporwave is redditors labelling anything "chill" and "vibes" as "vaporwave", this could be literally anything
chillwave? synthwave? ambient? hypnagogic pop? rap? all vaporwave because i said so, according to this dumbass >>121654383

Vaporwave is a highly "experimental" genre which means it's usually comprised of terminally online autists who are too depressed or neurotic (or downright talentless) to actually learn skills (like playing an instrument), so they create genres that are usually reliant on stealing other people's work. (Vaporwave, breakcore, etc.)
>>
>>121654647
There's been actual musicians who have approached the scene, like Runners Club 95 or desert sand. Arguably telepath too, but most of his post-vaporwave work is just him noodling on synthesizers for an hour.
>>
>>121654661
george clanton too if you consider any of his music vaporwave

making something that sounds vaguely reminiscent of some specific vaporwave source material isnt vaporwave
if that's the case then any contemporary smooth jazz is vaporwave too
>>
if you want the "eyeliner" sound but something that's actually vaporwave, listen to elite geographic
they both exclusively use the m1 and make similar "background music" stuff but elite geographic actually chops and screws his own music, which is, you know, an essential part of vaporwave, being fucking slow

You know vaporwave when you hear it. If it's made to sound like it came from the 80s/90s, it's vaporwave. It's both stupid and autistic to say it has to be sampled or it has to be chopped and screwed etc

>>121664126

If you like 80s/90s music or synthesizer music in general I'd recommend Proxima64. Guy has like a dozen synthesizers and countless other gear from the 80s and 90s, creates all his stuff completely DAWless.

Iacon just released an entirely AI-generated vaporwave album, does that count as sample free?

Behold, the future of vaporwave

Welcome to vaporhell

modern day vaporwave is more of a purgatory

Apparently this was sung by a guy?? I 100% thought it was an Asian woman for the longest
>>
>>121695506
you fell for an 80's trap
>>
>>121695523
Androgynous vocals are kino, especially when the singer can do both male and female voices
>>
>>121695793
thats gay
>>
>>121696013
You know what they say: its not gay, its 80s
>>
>>121696101
who says that thoughbeit
>>
>>121696101
Which is what makes me wonder why transgenders cling to vaporwave so much. Why would they be nostalgic for the 80s?

Ah yes, Nicholas Fedorov the pedophile is still shilling his garbage

You are a pedo and a groomer no matter what inaccurate MAP-friendly definition you find. Seriously fuck off and go away you creep
>>
>>121698861
What did this guy actually do?
Why do so many vaporwave artists turn out to be groomers
>>
>>121698872
He’s an unapologetic pedo and groomer and he will come back and post his novel trying to defend his creepy pedo grooming actions, he does it every time. He’s Nicholas Fedorov the pedophile groomer that uses proxima 64 as his pedogroomer bait
>>
>>121699011
>unapologetic
What did he do specifically? Is he one of those "MAP" fags

is he wrong though? ai can be thought of as like a vst or something, just a tool for artists to use to create music. in a way it is all original

They will keep this thread bumped to help promote their garbage. By allowing this thread to keep existing, you help in their goal of making their terrible shilled music seem more legitimate.
Don’t support shills,
don’t give them a space in your thread,
don’t look them up,
don’t click their links,
don’t fall for it
>>
>>121704806
Who's they?
>>
>>121704806
by that logic literally every general on this board is shills
>>
>>121647869
Vaporwave has been dead for over a decade, I'm genuinely surprised anyome on /mu/ mentions it past 2020 much less makes an entire thread for it
>>
>>121705192
better than constant kpop and industry plant threads
i mean literally who gives a shit about rappers "beefing"
youd have to be an utter normalfag to even care
>>
>>121705474
Eh yea that sucks but these vaporwave threads especially the “sample free” ones are almost always some pathetic trust fund shill shilling their garbage disingenuously
>>
>>121705524
who is it this time? i dont think desert sands even posts in these anymore
>>
>>121705524
I recognize your posting style well enough now to the point that now I see you pretty much all over the board. How long have you been posting here anyway? Have your attempts at policing the board ever worked? Any highlights in your career? How many specific shills do you think you've encountered by now, and which were the worst ones so far?
>>
well its been a good thread vaporbros, see you in the next one

Not only that, Vaporwave itself peaked with MEGA.
>>
>>121709108
Damn. Makes sense, I remember the hype around Vaporwave at that time was fever pitch massive. I saw him on the MEGA tour in LA back in 2017. What a time to be alive.
>>
>>121709108
Didn't it come out in 2016? For me that was the year vaporwave truly died, some of the best vaporwave albums ever made dropping back to back then suddenly it was all downhill from there
>>
>>121708887
Same. Such a good album though. MEGA is my desert island disc.
>>
>>121709424
Most of the best vaporwave albums I can think of came out in 2014-2016, I can't think of a single one from 2017

I still find it hilarious that one of the bad reviews for this album called it "second life music"
>>
>>121709987
>second life music
thats literally far side virtual
>>
>>121710699
Second Life is too Y2K to really be "vaporwave", if you want vaporwave: the game check out Worlds.com, Disconscious used to log in there from time to time

Telepath is Finnish, he's basically Japanese anyway
>>
>>121716462
Vaporwave steals music from POC artists (usually Black and Asian) and profits off of it without ever giving credit. I call it "auditory imperialism".

>a thread about actual /mu/sic is being slid by normalfag tier industry plant rapper "beef"
the absolute state of this board
>>
>>121717290
What the actual fuck happened to /mu/? Why does literally anyone care about this shit?
>>
>>121718513
> What the actual fuck happened to /mu/?
Jannies and mods don’t care about anything that isn’t in their kpop groomer threads or their gg/metal schizo playpens
> Why does literally anyone care about this shit?
4chan needs a celebrity/gossip board and needs regular competent moderation on /mu/
>>
>>121718839
>4chan needs a celebrity/gossip board
At the very least they should keep this shit to a single general like the kpop threads do. There's no reason literally every other 3rd or 4th thread needs to be about this "rapper beef" shit
>>
>>121716462
At least desert sand knows some japanese, telepath just uses obvious google translate

DONT LET THE NORMALFAGS TAKE OUR BOARD
VAPORWAVE NEVER DIES

Bump
>>
>>121708854
I disagree. I like Mega but Gaia was superior in almost every way except for the album art maybe.
>>
>>121723111
Nice trips
>>
>>121723144
Nice dubs
>>
>>121723144
>>121723161
What?
>>
>>121723111
I didn’t like it as much when it dropped but I felt like it grew on me a lot. The Chaos Disc videos and the lore surrounding them are some of the best shit ever but Mega had songs like Hungry Ghost which is imo one of their best.

Kek google translated Japanese text and Japanese woman photo from 80s has become a terrible trope in vaporwave all around. Desert sand should be acknowledged for taking a different approach.
>>
>>121723111
Gaia was really boring, I think that's where BB really fell off
>>
>>121718513
Was just about to say… first thing I see this morning. Im like why am I being bombarded with drake vs posts
>>
>>121723332
Oh god for sure and you could tell it was a pandemic album right away. 4D on the only hand is just fantastic.
>>
>>121723444
Based 4D enjoyer trips
>>
>>121723337
Is this an example of actual mass industry shilling in real time? I literally haven't heard anyone in real life talking about this
>>
>>121723337
It’s a hip hop beef thing
>>
>>121723300
He switched to making original artwork for his albums solely because using old Japanese CMs for his covers means they were copyrighted and couldn't appear on streaming services. It's a breath of fresh air compared to the endless sea of shitty photoshops and low quality asian women
>>
>>121723500
Yeah but why isn't there just a single general for it or something? Like half the board are just threads about it and the jannies are doing nothing. Not to mention the topic itself is completely normalfag-tier. It definitely doesn't feel organic
>>
>>121723444
No don’t get me wrong I agree, I mean Gaia would probably be rated last for me in blanks discography but I mean it’s Blank Banshee. It’s still good. It’s just not as good as his others. I really loved music for menus though
>>
>>121723521
31 out of the 162 threads on /mu/ are about this shit, that's essentially a fifth of the entire board
>>
>>121723602
I don’t know if it was intentional but I found it interesting how Gaia was kind of Vapor trap’s last hurrah for him anyway then music for menus was just pure ambient, it felt like to me he was slowing down but then 4D comes out and it’s just wall to wall bangers, easily the fastest stuff he’s ever put out. The man is manic but I love it

no homo but hes hot

>>121723727
Agreed. And for the record Time Thief is the greatest song he will ever compose and seeing it live is was a religious experience.
>>
>>121723769
I wonder why Blank Banshee never played at Elecrtronicon? It would've sold out quick as hell
>>
>>121723748
Yet he wears a mask when he plays lol I never understood this, in a genre where everyone’s a fat nerd the one actual attractive normal guy just wears a mask? Does he have no desire to mog?
>>
>>121723769
Crazy, what show were you at?
>>
>>121723828
He's keeping up the mystery and anonymity of vaporwave while performing live, as it should be
>>
>>121723828
Honestly makes me respect him more. He’s doing the right thing keeping it about the music. His mirror mask is iconic anyway why not wear it. Kanye was even aping it for a minute there a swear
>>
>>121723847
Saw him in Bristol
