Characterized but not limited to introspective themes love, loneliness, isolation, urbanization, and melancholy, along with futuristic motifs influenced by the cyberpunk genre. Using smooth and dreamy synths, along with foley to create a feeling of escapism for its listener.

Over the years this genre has grown incredibly diverse with a wide array of labels and artists that exploded out of the inception of the genre in 2014. In 2016 the newer generation of Dreampunk artists that had no familiarity with vaporwave came on to the scene. Artists like, Sangam, QMDx, w u s o 命, Kuroi Ame, Kagami Smile, Cryosauna, Ex Aquis, Rashida Prime, Droidroy, Yoshimi, CMD094, and so much more.

Dreampunk is music of the mind, where the main objective is to transport you into another world through suggestive narratives and concepts, with abstract, futuristic-sounding music for a new generation. Dreampunk is dream music for underground people living in this increasingly surreal dream world reality.
