i love this stuff. it's like the Drive/Bladerunner music. i find most of it from https://www.youtube.com/user/NewRetroWave an intro:
Carpenter Brut's live album rules. Even burnttatertot agrees. Maybe people who like Daft Punk would like this? I'm not really sure
vaporwave makes me think of adults wearing screen-printed power rangers t-shirts that have been washed 20 times. i don't like that type of cynicism and irony in the music i listen to. i tried to think of a nice way to say that but
Half of the people in this genre seem to pick their names from a Decepticon name generator. The other half reference some thing that makes me think about driving fast on some freeway on the east coast with cocaine in the trunk in the 80s
And they all think Jan Hammer was ahead of his time. Nice revisit to Japanese video game soundtracks, terrible thread idea though.
Was going to make a similar post. I’m going to step the douchiness up a level, when I listen to this while riding my electric motorcycle.
Some rapper used that Kavinsky song in a sample but I can't for the life of me remember who. Edit: it was fucking Gambino, should have remembered that one
There's a million artists and I keep forgetting who I like, I mostly have to remember the youtube picture used in a mix or the album cover. Spotify will get stuck on the same few so I have to go digging around Youtube then Bandcamp. This pace is more my style, not sure if any of y'all like it. Also anything by Dance with the Dead is A+.
On one hand, I can see how hipster irony is off-putting, especially if it's your childhood that's being toyed with. On the other hand, when the target is a decade earmarked by plasticity, I think the cynicism is ripe. As enjoyable as the nostalgia of the 80s is, the music was still much fakery -- as pretty much anything played on the radio featured copper hi-hats synthesized into 0s and 1s. We can only hope that today's aptly-named vaporwave births tomorrow's lo fi Nirvana.
I heard that Magic Sword song in a burger place I was in today and it was cool The NewRetroWave bandcamp page has these compilations that are free to download or listen to on the page well i guess they embed, so that's cool
SO THIS IS OK BUT ? YOU HAVE BEEN SPEWING YOUR PRIVACY , YOUR AMERICAN PRIVACY IN A BALLOT BOX FOR OVER TWO YEARS . THIS MAKES THIS A KIND OF SILLY ISSUE . really ? and you just ran that mouth as much as you could .
this is a really cool sound and I've given this album a couple of listens, but it stays being something I get pretty bored of after a few songs
Do yourself a favor and get on these fools. Not exactly in the genre but they’re like a new school interpretation of the new school synthwave swing: In fact do yourself a favor and buy that whole album. It’s banger after banger for dirt cheap.
Been digging on these guys a lot, a little more on the chill side. Honestly their album cover exemplifies everything I feel about this genre.
My brother in law is apparently going to be in the new Gunship video coming out soon. He’s the shark in the video.
I had never really heard of air but this song randomly popped on my suggested videos back in the spring and I really dug it.
