Is vaporwave dead?
one can only hope
>>52243451yo
I hope so. It is very unpleasant to listen to.
>>52243451No. Of course not.How do you explain BatH20XX?
>>52243631>>52243730fuck off back to your "def gribs XD" threads@OP: no, if anything it's more alive now than ever.
New Vaporwave has lost it's original message, but it still plays with the aesthetic.e.g https://giantclaw.bandcamp.com/album/dark-web
I sure hope not.>>52243932Cringe.
>>52243904Bandwagonning. Like 80% of the artists on the roster haven't even released an album.
Vaporwave is alive and well. New albums and EPs are still being released. I'd say the genre is growing, if anything.
I used to love Vektroid but if I saw him today I'd honestly try to kill him just to put him out of his misery. He's like an old sick dog that you can't stand to see hurt any longer.He hates being a man but that's all he's got and he has to keep playing the character to maintain a living. His album, the one chance of him following his dream of being a real musician, was a completely embarrassing disaster. He has a no money, his bitch record label walks all over him and the fact he's a scammer is all but confirmed. He's balding.I think he'd kill himself if not for the Macintosh Plus, but with his reputation I doubt it's even his in the first place. I'd just tell him I'm sorry and put a bullet in the back of his head.
>>52243904It's totally not going to happen.
Nah. Its the future..
hey heymy myyo vapourwave
>>52243933Giant Claw is the most recent "classic" vaporwave I've listened to. Macross put out a new album, which was pretty good. tbh I've just been going back and listening to witch house and sea punk stuff. Shit's all good. Vaporwave is just really saturated right now.
Needs more bubblegum bass. When is Sophie going to drop a full-length?when is Sophie going to hop on this d?
nah its been overtaken by pc music
>>52243451No, it's bigger than ever right now.I think the old made in Audacity shit vaporwave is dying out and being replaced by more talented producers, though.
>>52244487>made in AudacityDo you remember SleepSpell? Holy shit, his music was awful.
>>52244302You gotta hear the new A.G. Cook / OPN collabo
>>52244656This is neat. Short as all fuck though.
Who is your favorite up and coming vaporwave producer?>inb4 we start accusing each other of viraling
>>52244754I like a lot of the new guys doing stuff on Dream Catalogue
>>52244754Waterfront Dining's stuff is pretty good. I mean, he's not an amazing producer or anything, but he chooses the right stuff to sample. Either way, we have to remember it's plunderphonics we're dealing with, here. It's all just chopping and screwing, really.I really like ESPRIT 空想, although he's probably considered one of the more established producers around. He's the polar opposite of Oscob, if that makes any sense. He produces his own shit. There's more to it than just tweaking bits and pieces of a Sade song.
>>52243451Is post punk dead?
>>52244754Void has some potential. I downloaded his (or her?) EP last night. It's good, but its criminally short. It's only like 11 minutes in total.
if you think vaporwave is dead you are out of the loop
>>52245412Nice pun.upboated
>>52243451hell nah, you crazy?
>>52243451It'll die by 2020, by them civilization will crumble. It's a prophecy that vaporware will be the last big cultural fad before everything falls apart.
>>52245952This is true. It's even in the bible. The bible says "As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end."That's why vaporwave samples older music. It's a warning. Vaporwave is trying to tell us something. It's something bigger than us, man.
>>52246059Wait a minute. Hold the fucking phone!Does that mean..It can't be..MACINTOSH PLUS IS THE MESSIAH?!
>>52246059What the fuck lol somebody cap this shit.
>>52246156Capped.What now?
no it isn't, dream catalogue and artziemusic on youtube are always uploading new music. the buzz has just died
>>52246116You've got it all backwards, man. Macintosh Plus is the anti-Christ. Think about it. Ramona is transgender. The messiah wouldn't be transgender. Jesus would be born in the right body. He's god, man. God wouldn't allow himself to be born in the wrong body. I have more evidence to support my theory about vaporwave, though. The bible says that "broad is the road that leads to destruction, and narrow is the road that leads to salvation."Vaporwave is a small scene that often gets dismissed as a meme, while rap is an actual meme and its a fucking epidemic here. Narrow is the road that leads to salvation. We've heard the warning. We're the chosen ones. At least I think that's what it means. Idk I'm pretty high right now.
>>52243451people have totally forgotten what made the original sound and aesthetic so interesting and surreal. listen to vektroid's new album. it's just an ok electronic album. the whole aesthetic and sound has just lost focus.we need OPN to bring it back to the roots. his album "eccojams" is what vaporwave should be, and i also get a similar (albeit stronger) vaporwave vibe from his album "memory vague".
>>52246544same guy here:apologies if i'm wrong. and if i am wrong, could someone link me to a recent vaporwave release that is really good and has the aesthetic and vibe intact?
>>52244265Giant Claw: fck yeah
>not realising vaporwave was dead to begin with, that's the point
>>52243999Checked
>>52246590https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpWfuyEy6nAThis came out two or three days ago.It's also on bandcamp at: http://void-music.bandcamp.com/releases if you want to download it for free.
>>52246315i don't think so, the subreddit has 7000 followers now, it has tripled over the past year
>>52246789This is pretty good for a debut. The first track is pretty generic and overdone, but tracks 3 and 4 were really good. I'm waiting to see what else this person will make.
>>52246789idk man. i guess i might just not like vaporwave that much. to me, OPN was on to something way more interesting with his music that started the whole "vaporwave" thing, but i don't like what it has become. OPN is my favorite artist that's alive right now though.(my favorite dead one is captain beefheart)
>>52243451vaporwave will never die
>>52244754>>52246590no doubts on Gnuswvs
>>52243451neo cali is not vaporwave
