/r/Vaporwave
Global capitalism is nearly there. At the end of the world there will only be liquid advertisement and gaseous desire. Sublimated from our bodies, our untethered senses will endlessly ride escalators through pristine artificial environments, more and less than human, drugged-up and drugged down, catalyzed, consuming and consumed by a relentlessly rich economy of sensory information, valued by the pixel. The Virtual Plaza welcomes you, and you will welcome it too.

Has anyone been to a Yoi Toki event?
A Yoi Toki event is apparently going to be in my town this month. It's advertised as a "future funk and vaporwave party" but from what I've seen they don't play vaporwave at all, just future funk lol. I'm more of a vaporwave fan than future funk but I do like some Saint Pepsi/Yung Bae/Macross 82-99/Architecture in Tokyo though. I'd be more enticed on going if Macross 82-99 was playing but 2 lesser known future funk DJs will be performing instead. Has anyone been to a Yoi Toki event before? How was it and would you recommend going to one?
