/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.

Help finding pixel art from YouTube
There was a "Vaporwave/Retrowave 24/7" radio station on YouTube whose thumbnail was a pixel art of a room with various retro objects (such as a tape player, computer and roller skates) and some video games. I wanted to find that image, but the radio station no longer exists.

Is there anything more Vaporwave than LITERALLY making a record out of a load of other records..?
Tupperwave’s’ Grocery Store Sunset gets repressed this Friday on possibly the world’s first recycled Vaporwave record.
Literally making a new record out of loads of discarded and unwanted off-cuts of other records.
If that’s not Vaporwave then what is?

Did H.E.R. sample a vaporwave song?
I can’t place it, but I feel like this samples some classic vaporwave song. I’ve never paid too close attention to artist/track names so I couldn’t guess anyway. Any thoughts?

Going to my first Vaporwave Concert,Vaperror, sage hardware & DJ CAMGIRL. What to expect?
As the title states, going to my first vaporwave concert next week seeing Vaperror, sage hardware, DJ CAMGIRL (which i think is just the first two guys together). I am not a big vaporwave head but it is always fun music.
What are vaporwave shows like, what should I expect?
The show is in Osaka Japan, so bonus points for what to expect seeing a show in the Amerika-mura part of Osaka
