03.12.18 | this album is great so far, been a while since I heard some lofi hiphop that didn't sound like it was trying to copy bsd.u haha |

03.12.18 | dude some of giraffage's stuff definitely has a vaporwave vibe to it, have you even heard Undress U or Thinking About You? |
tunatown
03.12.18 | I guess we can agree to disagree about giraffage but there's no need to make assumptions about what I listen to man, you're not correct there. A lot of vaporwave sounds the same to me, but Floral Shoppe by Macintosh Plus is a pretty dope album. If a lot of people are spending their time making a certain kind of music, then I doubt it's just a meme to them |

03.12.18 | I feel like that's more just cause it's still new. Like a lot of rock from the 50s also sounds the same to me, and I think that's because they were developing a new sound and were so excited about this new sound that most artists playing rock at the time weren't super interested in pushing its boundaries, they were just interested in playing it. |

03.12.18 | It's not even a decade old, by the standards of music genres I think it's still pretty new. I agree that it doesn't look like music that is strictly labelled as vaporwave is going anywhere fast, but that doesn't mean the genre hasn't made an impact in other types of music (Cocaine Jesus makes electronic music that's both trap and vaporwave influenced, some lofi hiphop is vaporwave influenced, you might not agree but I think giraffage is too, etc). |

03.12.18 | idk maybe for some artists but I don't feel that way at all about Floral Shoppe. Haven't explored the genre that much but I'm sure there's other stuff there that I'd find interesting, even if I'd have to sift through a lot of crap to find it. Also if the artists got the ideas from vaporwave and not from chopped n screwed, then chopped n screwed might be distantly related but it's not as relevant to talk about. If vaporwave is just a meme to you, that's chill, but I don't feel the same way and there are a lot of other people who enjoy it for its musical content instead of just its aesthetic/place in culture. |

03.12.18 | this is a good list let's be friends |

03.12.18 | also vaporwave is good and owes a ton of what it does to chopped and screwed. needs definitely has vaporwave influence. people just get mad cause they think all vaporwave = memes and lazy kids trying to get famous from sampling and not crediting. so seeing something they like as vaporwave pisses them off to no end because it's like you're saying it's shallow, even though you're not. of course there's a lot of garbage in the genre but it spawned on the internet what do you expect lol |
