Now that the dream mall has closed, what did we think of vaporwave?
>>129778807Os caras me amam, kkk.
One of my favorite genres of music imo but the cutoff for good vaporwave being released has long passed (With a few acceptions)
It will be remembered as a valuable experiment in hauntological pastichemaxxing and its influence on almost everything that came after it is obvious.
>>129778807peaked with eccojams, which was just OPN fucking around without trying to make a genre
It had absolutely nothing of substanceMight as well have been a genre of album covers
>>129778807Great music. Next question.
>>129778807Contrarians call it zoomer music but there was a e s t h e t i c as fuck V A P O R W A V E in the actual 80shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gML0PukI5rI
the "aesthetic" was fucking trash, the music was pretty great. Some of it was repetitive but there were some gems
I love it.It's a shame that it seems like a genre that's run out of ideas, or at least nobody is able to find anything new.
B-tier vapor artists like death's dynamic shroud and luxury elite have better discographies than the vast majority of artistsVektroid's solo work alone is worthy of being put in the same category as the best electronic music ever madeBirth of a New Day, virtua.zip, Underwater Mirage, both of the Televape collabs... There's so much good vaporwave out there that managed to move past the label entirelyAlso Skeleton's entire body of work is /mu/-core since 99.9% chance they came from here.

I'm not telling you what the best record was because this board doesn't deserve it
