Detailed Description

Vaporwave is a genre of electronic music that emerged in the early 2010s. It is characterized by a nostalgic aesthetic that draws on 1980s and 1990s popular culture, particularly video games, anime, and pop music. The genre is often associated with an ironic or critical view of consumer culture. Common themes include escapism, consumerism, and the commodification of culture. Vaporwave is named after the vaporwave art movement, which is characterized by its use of glitchy, distorted images and text. The music is often based on samples of 1980s and 1990s pop music, particularly from Japan and the United States. Notable vaporwave artists include James Ferraro, Daniel Lopatin, and Vektroid. Ferraro’s album Far Side Virtual (2011) is often cited as the genre’s defining work. Vaporwave has been described as “a cynical vision of a lost future”, “a safe haven for the weird and wonderful”, and “a critical commentary on consumer culture”.
