I'm only 5 years old!! And I listen to vaporwave!!! kids from my generation listen to frozen music and nicki minaj I'm so special cuz my teachers call me autistic!!!!
I can't find anything in this "vaporwave" genre, or any other genre for that matter, that sounds anything like this or as good as th8s. I love this album and all BB albums. Can anyone help me find anything similar ?
what each song makes me imagine 1. insides of a bsod 2. underwater drowning 3. furry men stripping 4. space exploration 5. one leg goes numb 6. all nighter 7. visiting an old shop 8. hella cold freeze from the air 9. destroying a ps4 10. skygazing 11. regret and longing 12. not caring about the consequences of your actions 13. existential crisis 14. finding that one song after years of searching 15. existential crisis again
I’m glad this album is starting to receive more appreciation. In the early 2010s, Vaporwave as a whole become an ironic meme-infested wasteland. A lot of great projects, such as this, were dismissed as tryhard sub-genres with no substance. I hope that people who snubbed it in the past will come around and give it another chance.
I didn't even know of the existence of vapourwave until I think 2015, so it's funny to think that it was already a dismissive meme-infested wasteland years before then.
Okay so tripping to this was a fucking amazing idea. Sat in my bathtub in total darkness playing this with my eyes closed and I was convinced for the entire duration of the album that I was floating through space in a cramped spaceship awaiting rescue by another ship (which turned out to be the lamp-post outside my bathroom window turning on. I thought it was getting closer). I was getting these mad fucking tingles all over my body and the visuals were like these weird tessellating fractals made out of 3 lines sandwiched together, so I thought that I'd been injected with painkilling drugs because of some injury I'd sustained in space and that the space disease or whatever it was was causing me to become delirious and insane. After the album ended and I felt myself return to Earth (though still peaking of course) I went outside and looked at the sky, and the stars were just so fucking bright and intense. I swear to god I could see so many stars, so many more than usual. Along with this I saw this bright orange shooting star, and I just said "See you space cowboy" and broke down into tears. Fucking intense trip, 10/10 would do again. This album is fucking great for tripping to. I'd wholly recommend it.
No way. I've loved Seapunk, Vaporwave, and Chillwave for a while now but this is the first time I thought to trip to it, and it was amazing! Anyway, what does it matter if there are people out there who trip to it? Good for them for having good taste.
Joel Cernas What is reading comprehension I already said I like the music sober, all my post was doing was highlighting that it was also very amazing to trip to.
everyone has their theories, but this album was perfect for the melancholy of 2005-2016. if you were working at those times it really was a minimum wage droning, with a spice of, "i genuinely don't care about anything", attitude. Alot of our parents lost homes in the housing crash and work was scarce. Alot of us just checked out with drugs and working minimum wage in dying box stores nobody could afford. This kind of music really brings home the crushing realities of being a cog in the machine. You can listen to this and get a genuine vibe on culture at the time, just kind of surviving on our parents nostalgia and distorting it to make life bearable. While sitting in your 1987 volvo crying into a taco bell burrito
Yea, dude like I was in high school when this debuted and it was one I listened to till I graduated. I even burnt a CD so I could listen to it in my car.
The reason the internet went on a synthpunk/vaporwave crusade. It would be ridiculous to not see the influence that this and a certain other album had on today's life havers.
This comment is probably gonna get lost in the sea of comments but I think its really interesting how the vaporwave movement was in a way like the counterculturist movement of the 60's, the 60's liked to use repurposed art for posters. Kinda the same thing with vaporwave but with 80's culture.
There´s a song from the Beatles, Revolution #9, from 1968 which consists only in a collage of aleatory sounds, totally nonsense. It was different from what vaporwave does, because the Beatles´ track consists only on sounds, while vaporwave used samples from acutal songs to create new songs. Despite the difference, you´re right, in the 60´s there was a big movement of de-construct art and creation of alternative concepts of art, like vaporwave did in the last decade
My thoughts exactly, time flies doesn't it? I've realized the reason is the monotony of life, we gotta explore and live more so time doesnt fly as fast!
We're in the Golden age right now. Theres Hundreds of Artists who still make vaporwave and have had years to master their craft, you should get back into it, you're missing out.
@@elitezararus286 i agree, the golden is age is sort of now, it's the nostalgia that makes it look like it was a golden age in the past, although tbh, Vaporwave isn't the music style to have an "age" or period, it's not supposed to be that popular in the first place.
Reminds me of my uni days, weed and drinks, not a care in the world but to discover and show the next song to my friends. Wherever you are i wish you all a good and healthy life God bless
Ahh such nostalgia. Who else was a teenage loner fuck years ago that played way too much Hotline Miami and went on hours of synthwave/vaporwave binges?
I bumped this album for a whole summer while working road construction. The late night drives home from a far away jobsite with photosynthesis blasting while i smoked a thick blunt. Good times.
Similar vibe for me. I'd listen to it on my 40 minute walk both to work and home. Despite a break up, it was a highly sociable and care free time. I fit in at work, and despite it having difficult days, I felt in control and in tune with the life I had wound up in. This album encapsulates that time for me.
A guy who ghosted me for a year sent this album to me out of the blue because he thought I'd like it. I'm glad he did. We never spoke again. Hope you're well wherever you are.
This has aged beautifully, I remember only vibing a few tracks when it first came out - just played the whole thing and no idea wtf I was thinking back then. The whole thing slaps
there’s actually a roy’s seafood and grille in new brunswick lol edit: was it seems to have been closed in 2018. now there are boobies on the facebook page
I see themes in Blank Banshee's albums: Blank Banshee 0: More funky, 80s, computer/technology and political, but still human, it sounds fresh and upbeat, most of the tracks. It's all about initiation, confusion, puberty and adolescence. Blank Banshee 1: Tropical sounds, primitive, rush, adrenaline, nature, prehistoric vs modern, more cheerful yet anxious, and ethereal, just as cybernetic and technological as BB 0, going into trap a little more. It's about anxiety. MEGA: Hindu/Arab feeling, mystical, spiritual, more depressive than the previous one and the following one, and it has a more urban hip-hop-ish feel, vaportrap all the way. It's about depression. Metamorphosis: It has this medieval, epic, progressive, industrial, celestial sound, less robotic, more organic yet dramatic. It's about rehab/therapy. GAIA: It sounds more Southeast Asian, due to the strings, more urban sounding than Metamorphosis, and sounds more alien and outer space-ish than the other albums. It's about acceptance of reality and accomplishment of change.
I’m quite surprised this blew up. I remember finding this around 2 or 3 years ago and I went back for nostalgia and seeing new people commenting is quite nice. I hope this album never dies.
This takes me back to the mid 2010s when I discovered Vaporwave and just used to get lost in my thoughts all alone in my room. I still try to do that once in a blue, but life has been so much crazier and I never feel like I get to relax anymore. I just wish I could start over.
This might possibly be the greatest album of the 2010s. It's definitely one of the most influential without a doubt. It's beyond nuts to think this was released in 2012; it still sounds like something lightyears ahead of its time even now.
I put this album on my headphones and fell asleep. I started having crazy dreams while hearing the music. When Photosynthesis came on, I was back in 1970 on a date with a girl in a coffee shop or something. We ordered apple pie and didnt really talk we just ate it and stared into each other while this thing played and now I've attached this song to this dream and it feels extremely nostalgic...
I'm a 90s kid who has a strong nostalgia for Windows 95 and Tomb Raider games (I actually got into 3D by playing with this exact model of Lara in 3DS Max) - it's an understatement to say that this album absolutely gripped me from the very begining, both with the cover art and the intro song. I rarely ever felt like a piece of art was just meant for me like this. Thanks @BLANKBANSHEE
l agree with this opinion. By the way, l've been always wondering, is that model from Tomb Raider 3? It's certainly from the classics but 1 and 2 don't have this good models and 4, 5, 6 have way more detailed models of her.
I love Visualization. I always listen to this album while doing homework, but as soon as that song plays I stop and follow the meditation instructions and it’s so relaxing.
I bought this album back when I was 15-16 years old and I have a very special love for it ! Brings back feelings I used to feel younger and experiences I did ! I come back every year and play this in the dark with my headphones and it's like a natural high for me.
Lyrics: wavestep: it's as simples as pushing squares, lay me down on a bed of glass cut myself as i turn. bathsalts: drop that guys drop that guys... venus death trap: Seance city Seance city.. hyper object: everything seemed funny everything seemed so dull spent your whole life running everything seemed so dull.. you can't recall you can't recall.. photosyntesis: runnin.. runnin.. here we go.. running home.. and when i laugh i'm just a little bored. dreamcast to go for seconds a cold decision a righteous power or only a dud comin to me show me something i don't expect you turn water to wine blood makes the grass grow a little greener tells you more than song and dance the vicious retort out of fear tell me who gonna hold your hand through this.. makes blood makes blood blood makes the grass grow makes the grass grow makes the grass grow no one comes back.. teen pregnancy: i'm just a kid it was just a little mistake purity boys: everytime i get the inspiration to go change things around no one's gone to help me look for places where new things might be found where can i turn when my fair wheater friends cop out what is all about each time things start to happen again i think i got something good goind to myself but what goes wrong sometimes i feel very sad i guess i just wasn't made for this times. visualization follow the steps, this song is not for sing. world vision: heaven..
Burned a mixtape of “the Hits” back in the mid 2010s Private Cellar, Cherry Pepsi, Closer to you, Beach Walk, Enjoy Yourself, Mac Tonight, Sunday School, Macintosh Plus 420, StartUp, etc. even though i can’t always make out the lyrics- i feel them by heart those tracks got me through some pretty lonely late night drives home after getting totally zooted at a friends place or a late night gaming session, got me through High School my first couple jobs and now- It’s 5am and I feel like I’m not the same dumb kid, i mean in some ways i still am a dumb adult but I’ve changed, for the better? Who knows- who cares right?
I personally have never been on bath salts, but I have ready plenty of stories of what people are capable of when under their influence, so my guess is that the track may be an auditory representation of what it could be like to be in such a state of mind(?). Either way, the transition from "BATHSALTS" to "AMMONIA CLOUDS" is slick AF (I wonder if the title is a reference to smelling salts?).
I remember listening to this album almost everyday during one of the darkest periods of my life. This music calmed and soothed my depression and anxiety unlike anything else. It might have to do with the how the album is equal parts unsettling and lucid, much how depression tends to be. Thank you, Blank Banshee.
I remember when the first time I discovered this video, the comment section were filled with people admitting they're listening to this music while high on LSD
im glad i came back to this album after not listening to it for years. lately ive been getting deeper into jazz and pretty recently i found hard bop and post bop to be my favorite kinds of music. ive been longing to compose a post bop suite, and listening to the polytonality (or atonality in my opinion but thats its own debate) that occurs on this album with the use of chords that have no diatonic functional relationships with one another in songs like Ammonia Clouds, where various major7 chords with no relationships with one another are used, is really inspiring because it embodies the "controlled freedom" that's seen in post bop. i feel like this album is a good example of where im at with my ideas and can get deeper melodically. aside from the compositional techniques, the sound effects and general aesthetic that comes with the album are still relevant today in my opinion, almost 6 years later.

A lot of great projects, such as this, were dismissed as tryhard sub-genres with no substance. I hope that people who snubbed it in the past will come around and give it another chance.
i would never call black banshee vaporwave. its more like expermental vapor or vaportrap

Okay so tripping to this was a fucking amazing idea.

I thought it was getting closer). I was getting these mad fucking tingles all over my body and the visuals were like these weird tessellating fractals made out of 3 lines sandwiched together, so I thought that I'd been injected with painkilling drugs because of some injury I'd sustained in space and that the space disease or whatever it was was causing me to become delirious and insane. After the album ended and I felt myself return to Earth (though still peaking of course) I went outside and looked at the sky, and the stars were just so fucking bright and intense.

do people listen to genres like these just to trip to
No way. I've loved Seapunk, Vaporwave, and Chillwave for a while now but this is the first time I thought to trip to it, and it was amazing!

i like vaporwave tho
One of the best albums of the decade
This has aged beautifully, I remember only vibing a few tracks when it first came out - just played the whole thing and no idea wtf I was thinking back then. The whole thing slaps
Blank,listening to this while your father is having a hot hamburger platter here at Roy's Seafood and Grill,God bless and be safe...
there’s actually a roy’s seafood and grille in new brunswick lol
edit: was it seems to have been closed in 2018. now there are boobies on the facebook page
man i been listening to this album for two years and it's still lit
Ikr, I listen to it every day.

I remember listening to this album in 2016
eo
I see themes in Blank Banshee's albums:
Blank Banshee 0: More funky, 80s, computer/technology and political, but still human, it sounds fresh and upbeat, most of the tracks. It's all about initiation, confusion, puberty and adolescence.
Blank Banshee 1: Tropical sounds, primitive, rush, adrenaline, nature, prehistoric vs modern, more cheerful yet anxious, and ethereal, just as cybernetic and technological as BB 0, going into trap a little more. It's about anxiety.
MEGA: Hindu/Arab feeling, mystical, spiritual, more depressive than the previous one and the following one, and it has a more urban hip-hop-ish feel, vaportrap all the way. It's about depression.
Metamorphosis: It has this medieval, epic, progressive, industrial, celestial sound, less robotic, more organic yet dramatic. It's about rehab/therapy.
GAIA: It sounds more Southeast Asian, due to the strings, more urban sounding than Metamorphosis, and sounds more alien and outer space-ish than the other albums. It's about acceptance of reality and accomplishment of change.
it can be true
@@lorenz000crn9 Thanks :)
Thanks Fantano I really didn't need to read that!
@@MBIZZARD2 Hahahaha x) Lol, hey, I appreciate TheNeedleDrop, just sometimes, though. Well, thanks for reading my interpretations, anyway
I’m quite surprised this blew up. I remember finding this around 2 or 3 years ago and I went back for nostalgia and seeing new people commenting is quite nice. I hope this album never dies.
I can always come back and listen to this and it will still be as magical as the first time I listened to it.
Tony Barlow me too man
This takes me back to the mid 2010s when I discovered Vaporwave and just used to get lost in my thoughts all alone in my room. I still try to do that once in a blue, but life has been so much crazier and I never feel like I get to relax anymore. I just wish I could start over.
Same
can relate
relatable
i remember being 13 listening to this album to fall asleep, now I’m 20 and I honestly still do the same thing sometimes, some things never change.
I swear some songs have some special things that makes u high,apart from this world.
I was 20 when this came out, was bumping it at University a LOT!

it's pretty cool seeing a bunch of recent interest in this timeless classic
imagine being this talented. blank banshee is a genius.
Still slaps and makes me feel old, can't believe it's been so long
Same, but for some reason the style is still so underground that it still feels fresh in a certain way.
I agree with you bro, sometimes it makes me nostalgic
This might possibly be the greatest album of the 2010s. It's definitely one of the most influential without a doubt. It's beyond nuts to think this was released in 2012; it still sounds like something lightyears ahead of its time even now.
I put this album on my headphones and fell asleep. I started having crazy dreams while hearing the music. When Photosynthesis came on, I was back in 1970 on a date with a girl in a coffee shop or something. We ordered apple pie and didnt really talk we just ate it and stared into each other while this thing played and now I've attached this song to this dream and it feels extremely nostalgic...
10 years old already . . . . . . . . . ｇ ｏ ｄ ｄ ａ ｍ ｎ
classic
I'm a 90s kid who has a strong nostalgia for Windows 95 and Tomb Raider games (I actually got into 3D by playing with this exact model of Lara in 3DS Max) - it's an understatement to say that this album absolutely gripped me from the very begining, both with the cover art and the intro song. I rarely ever felt like a piece of art was just meant for me like this. Thanks @BLANKBANSHEE
l agree with this opinion. By the way, l've been always wondering, is that model from Tomb Raider 3? It's certainly from the classics but 1 and 2 don't have this good models and 4, 5, 6 have way more detailed models of her.
i miss 2016 so fucking bad

This is the only music I can listen to when I've a depression attack
I feel that.
That doesn't exist.
Back to the hight of Vaporwave... Getting nostalgic about being nostalgic about the 80s/90s
This is literally one of the best electronic albums ever made, and a cultural monument for the 2010s (MY generation).

I love Lucy
I love Visualization. I always listen to this album while doing homework, but as soon as that song plays I stop and follow the meditation instructions and it’s so relaxing.
I bought this album back when I was 15-16 years old and I have a very special love for it ! Brings back feelings I used to feel younger and experiences I did ! I come back every year and play this in the dark with my headphones and it's like a natural high for me.
lol i feel u i bought it way back when he was selling on his site and got it autographed but i lost it lol
same bro!
I had got a digital copy on bandcamp
The transition from start up to wavestep is imaculate
g
people are still actively commenting on the video that came out 5 years ago, Nice.
are yiu suprised?
It keeps people coming back, that's a good album, much needed in today's world of mumble crap
@@oakforestboys Dang. Mumble rap must've gotten really tiring.
Purity Ring + Beach Boys -- what a combo.
I'm now realizing that is where the name comes from!

It’s crazy how i just revisited this album after 3 years of not thinking about it. I love that people are still actively finding it lmao
It's been at least the same time for me, and I just thought about it lol.
Mr Spectacals i don’t know it just came back to my mind, i’m glad it did tho, one of my favourite albums
same here ! I used to listen to this a lot back in 2016.
6:30-7:10 sounds like an acid trip
Logan thats why i love this album
Lyrics:
wavestep: it's as simples as pushing squares, lay me down on a bed of glass cut myself as i turn.
bathsalts:
drop that guys
drop that guys...
venus death trap:
Seance city
Seance city..
hyper object:
everything seemed funny
everything seemed so dull
spent your whole life running
everything seemed so dull..
you can't recall
you can't recall..
photosyntesis:
runnin..
runnin..
here we go..
running home..
and when i laugh i'm just a little bored.
dreamcast
to go for seconds
a cold decision
a righteous power or only a dud
comin to me
show me something
i don't expect you turn water to wine
blood makes the grass grow a little greener
tells you more than song and dance
the vicious retort out of fear
tell me who gonna hold your hand through this..
makes blood
makes blood
blood makes the grass grow
makes the grass grow
makes the grass grow
no one comes back..
teen pregnancy:
i'm just a kid
it was just a little mistake
purity boys:
everytime i get the inspiration to go change things around no one's gone to help me look for places where new things might be found where can i turn when my fair wheater friends cop out
what is all about
each time things start to happen again i think i got something good goind to myself
but what goes wrong
sometimes i feel very sad
i guess i just wasn't made for this times.
visualization
follow the steps, this song is not for sing.
world vision:
heaven..
DREAM CAST: bless clan bless clan bless clan bless (...)
am i wrong?
ACTUALLY IS, blood makes the grass grow a little greener.. makes blood makes blood..
"wheater"
I remember listening to the album around the years 2015-16
some memories remain intact before time

I'm glad to see so many recent comments on this! It means the culture is alive :) 😀
Hell yeah... vaporwave and vaportrap will continue to be popular as long as people have nostalgia for the past.
This sounds just as fresh today as it did back then. The sign of a timeless classic!
u said it bud!
Burned a mixtape of “the Hits” back in the mid 2010s Private Cellar, Cherry Pepsi, Closer to you, Beach Walk, Enjoy Yourself, Mac Tonight, Sunday School, Macintosh Plus 420, StartUp, etc. even though i can’t always make out the lyrics- i feel them by heart those tracks got me through some pretty lonely late night drives home after getting totally zooted at a friends place or a late night gaming session, got me through High School my first couple jobs and now- It’s 5am and I feel like I’m not the same dumb kid, i mean in some ways i still am a dumb adult but I’ve changed, for the better? Who knows- who cares right?
I feel you bro.
This is the vaporwave album I used to listen to a lot. Great to sleep to.
man this album was ahead of its time
i remember hearing this album when it first came out during the vaporwave explosion. easier times lol
2016??
much easier times, times surely missed lol
I have seen a lot of "why does everyone hate bathsalts"
But no "I hate bathsalts"
After a few listens I liked it a lot, but it has different atmosphere that the song before and after it so it felt really out of place.
I hate bath salts
Space Pineapples ok
See mcboberson bob's comment (with 422 likes).
I personally really like it, especially 5:31 onward.
I personally have never been on bath salts, but I have ready plenty of stories of what people are capable of when under their influence, so my guess is that the track may be an auditory representation of what it could be like to be in such a state of mind(?). Either way, the transition from "BATHSALTS" to "AMMONIA CLOUDS" is slick AF (I wonder if the title is a reference to smelling salts?).
Nostalgic. I heard this all night working on photoshop five years ago. It was beautiful and I can't stop listening to BB since then
I remember listening to this album almost everyday during one of the darkest periods of my life. This music calmed and soothed my depression and anxiety unlike anything else. It might have to do with the how the album is equal parts unsettling and lucid, much how depression tends to be. Thank you, Blank Banshee.
man i used to listen to this on the bus in high school, still bumpin today

I dont care why but i love all these people coming back to this amazing piece of art
Hang in there, doomer
this album is somewhere in my top 10 reasons to live
im glad i came back to this album after not listening to it for years. lately ive been getting deeper into jazz and pretty recently i found hard bop and post bop to be my favorite kinds of music. ive been longing to compose a post bop suite, and listening to the polytonality (or atonality in my opinion but thats its own debate) that occurs on this album with the use of chords that have no diatonic functional relationships with one another in songs like Ammonia Clouds, where various major7 chords with no relationships with one another are used, is really inspiring because it embodies the "controlled freedom" that's seen in post bop. i feel like this album is a good example of where im at with my ideas and can get deeper melodically. aside from the compositional techniques, the sound effects and general aesthetic that comes with the album are still relevant today in my opinion, almost 6 years later.
