Vaporwave is a great "drone" music too. I love using it for blocking out the world. It can send me to a fictional cyberspace and helps me focus. A lot of my programming is done with Vaporwave in my headphones
It's really a bummer that so much of the web's promise is not only lost, but also tarnished by folks who only know the net to be a walled gardens and silos.. "the Internet wasn't a group of five websites, each consisting of screenshots of text from the other four" as the saying goes. Lost Futures are a heallva drug man. Wish I think is the point of Vaporwave right? The sounds of a nostalgia that never was that expected a future that would never be? Something like that.
Regardless, it is our empty mall. Ours to make.
Ever notice how many bazingas fantasize about Cameron's Avatar in a "kill the furries loot the resources while giving pretentious speeches about humanity fuck yeah" sort of way?
Bro, I grind my teeth into dust thinking about these fuckin' losers.
The "punk" of sci-fi and fantasy is lost and wasted on these ghouls. It's so frustrating that Oligarchs were fuckin' dorks in their youth and it's worst yet all their little sicko-phants are dorks too. Bazinga shit indeed man. I hate it so much.
i was and will continue to be ignorant that vaporwave was ever cringe in the first place
I make vaporwave music sometimes. It's cringe but it's ok to be cringe. Gimme that barberpole phaser and reverb set to 90% wet
everything you like is cringe and everything i like is based simple as
This thread is 50/50 "of course its cringe u fukken loser" and "wtf how or why is it cringe"...
Liking things is good, actually, and the thing has to be really terrible for it to be cringe. It's not cringe unless it's more artistically bereft than Thomas Kinkade paintings or more politically suspect than being into WW1 German airplanes.
