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.

    Website with visuals to watch when listening to vaporwave

    I've been looking around for a website or channel that displays very vaporwave-y type visuals. I'm pretty sure it was a website though, although maybe I'm just imagining things. I think you could change channels as well, but it was all mostly to accompany vaporwave. I hope my question is clear, everytime I ask in English I don't seem to be able to get my words right.

    Hyperconsumerism requires hyperproduction. How much are you willing to sacrifice to get this production going? This is the new album in the Apocalyptic Vibes series - music manifestation of 2020s, decade of dramatic changes and uncertain future.

    Nmesh is releasing a new album within the next couple months

    Reached out to our old friend Nmesh. He has had a new full length album (like Dream Sequins/Pharma) completed for roughly 6 months. Currently waiting on the vinyls to be completed, but once they are in hand, the album is released!

    Vaporwave is not dead…it has evolved

    I noticed since the pandemic, classic vaporwave - late night lo-fi, I guess - has decidedly taken a backseat in terms of relevance and people just releasing music in that vein (frankly I don’t see much dreampunk anymore either, and I remember when that subgenre absolutely dominated the scene). It’s like the early vaporwave sound has died off, but I don’t think vaporwave itself died.

    In addition to barber beats overtaking classic vaporwave, it seems two basic branches have become the defining sound of vaporwave in the 2020s: liminalcore and frutiger aero (the latter of which owes a lot to utopian virtual).

    It kinda reminds me of how, after the 1970s, the first wave punk sound kinda died off and gave way to either hardcore punk or new wave. Both could legitimately claim the mantle of being the successor to the first wave, but both were vastly different takes on the original.

    Thoughts? I hope I’m not alone in thinking this.

    New vaporwave things I'd like to know your thoughts about it

    Sup fellas I'm a music producer and Ive made an album not so long ago. I've listened to a lot of vaporwave stuff while I was making my music and so I wanted to know from people who like and know the genre what they were thinking about my things so I could learn and improve from your feedbacks. I've written some more things in the description btw. Thanks a lot for your time!

    Vaporwave like Christtt

    I don’t listen to Vaporwave at all outside of his stuff (and maybe like a few OPN songs); anyone got any recommendations for more in that vein?

    Fave X-mas vaporwave mix?

    Can anyone recommend a cozy christmas vaporwave mix (on youtube)? Preferrably classic (but melodic or vocal) vaporwave including vapor versions of xmas songs

    An example track to point at a direction that would also work: velvet by Aexion

    Thanks and happy holidays! 🎄

    Edit: bandcamp or soundcloud works too :)
