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 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.
