How come aesthetic shit and vapourwave seem it would be induced by physcadelic drugs but really is about 80s nostalgia?
And if vaporware is about 80s nostalgia then wouldn't only forty year of fifty olds really undestand what it is.
Im just being dumb

appeals to the youth cuz "omg so retro"
80's were actually less neon hairspray and more breakfast club
it's about irony i guess, feeling nostalgic about a time you wasn't alive or was just a fetus
millennial stupid shit
>appeals to the youth cuz "omg so retro"
Which is funny, because they weren't even sperm in the 80s. They have zero point of reference, other than the internet, and we all know what a reliable source that is.
Hey im at least one of those kids in 2006 who wanted to play as hulk hogan that's the only 80s thing we knew and the music our parents played in the car

Carpenter Brut for the win!
I grew up with smooth jazz and it sorta just transitioned to vaporwave.
It satirizes nostalgia and commercialism, relying heavily upon curated audio and video samples. It can also be funky AF

Got new decorations for my tape setup too and a second shelf I am refinishing for dat sweet aesthetic
I have to thank HLM for this shit
It's not actually about nostalgia.
It's a mockery of the future that was promised in the 80s, with the rapid advancements in the accessibility of computers that occurred that time and the dominance of Japanese technology companies, as well as the postmodern stylistic choices that were popular with new-moneyed young urban professionals of the time.
Like when you hear someone say, "The future isn't what it used to be,"— it's sort of the same sentiment.
It's basically historical romanticism. Romanticized ideas of an era in which the fans weren't alive. Same as people that are really into jazz/swing culture, or vikings the 1950s household lifestyle.

It's a movement that is Boards of Canada but with more 80s and 90s + japanese + purple/green themes

>vaporwave is inspired by the 80s
thats synthwave, faguette.
vaporwave is inspired by disco from the 70s. thats why its also known as "nu-disco". its not surprising older generations don't know what it is, it's an insanely new genre that only gained popularity in the last couple of years. im assuming because MJ is legal in a few states and now smoking has become pop culture.
Shut up dustin
ketamine and disassociatives in general mesh well with the sound of vaporwave
it focuses on consumerist bs, but really its just experimental music nerds having mad CEVs of the store they just brought they cough syrup in

I kind of have some reference. When I was a kid, Finnish TV was a bit behind its time and most American TV shows were from the 80's TV, so despite the fact that I was born in 1992, my childhood had a lot of 80's stuff in it. Knight Rider, MacGyver and The Six Million Dollar Man is even older than that. I guess the old shows were cheaper. So synthwave has a bit of genuine nostalgia for me.

So yeah, everything came to Finland at least ten years after they were shown in the US. Only Late Night with Conan O'Brien had a moderate delay of one week.
