Just wondering what the general opinion on this oft-maligned, oft-obituaried genre is. Myself, I hate Floral Shoppe but I've found a certain pleasure in some works from this genre, mainly because it reminds me of all the times I sat in hotel lounges or watched hotel TV.

I thought vaporwave was more like corporate training video music aesthetic + fetishized japanese text, never saw a connection with r+7 which seems more in line with early midi type of stuff

Read an interview when it released where Daniel said something about how the modern vintage aesthetic and self-awareness of vaporwave inspired some of the music on the record. Might be wrong though.

Vaporwave is often pretty enjoyable for me. Nothing really else to say. The aesthetic is interesting to look at too.

vaporwave is the act of détournement. i feel its less to be appreciated simply as a genre of music than it is an expression of a situationist philosophy, or culture jamming - its hypercommercial "utopian" music remixed and degraded into these often mind-numbing cynical loops. its great. 11/10 genre.

if I send 69-packs of PBR your way, can u buy me Yung Bae'z (Luhrmann) discography?
Also, I think Warm Surplus do an extraordinary job at combining vaporwave concepts with Death Grips noise and experimentation. With Borve, it's not just a meme or a take on nostalgia: He these public-domain samples to speak on life, the human experience, and how "awesome" gay people are.
