Yeah anyone who grew up in the late 80's 90's early 00's up to about 2009. Will definitely have heard music like this with the cable menu or whatever. I remember joking with a friend in the really early 00's about this being a genre and it unironicly is. This is such a early sunny morning coffee vibe. It's just long enough to have a shower get coffee and get ready to head out
YES that last sentence especially!!!! i love to listen to this and put some 90s commercials or instellistar recordings on another screen while making coffee on a sunny day!
I’m a 2000 kid and yeah you’re right, I heard a lot of this kinda stuff when I was little. Whether it be on weather channels or background music at an airport or something
Definitely not 2009. This stuff was out of the normal by like 2005. In fact even earlier is where it makes more sense. I think of like the mid 90's or late 90's when this genre was dying out
Visiting my rich aunt and uncle in a big city during the summers of 1992-1998. She would take out to nice restaurants, and take us shopping in the middle of the week at like 10am. The malls were dead, but this music was alive and well. Hearing music like this on its own always reminds me of those giant, polished caverns of commercialism.
I was born in 1989. Some of my earliest memories involve going to the mall with my parents or just watching TV where a lot of the sounds and motifs depicted in this album were not just commonplace, but also considered the slickest thing around. Listening to vaporwave and hearing all these sounds from my childhood in a completely new and exciting context, and also seeing younger people get into it and experience nostalgia for a time before they were even born that I actually experienced is nothing short of wild.
I was born in 1990. Right there with ya. This music brings back such pleasant early memories of going to malls as a kid and surfing the web in its early stage 😌 it's neat that the younger generation gets it.
im 13 yrs old, and i just found this. i love this type of music because, as you said, it gives me big nostalgia of the 2000s even though i havent/barely experienced it :)
I was born in 98', but my city I was born there weren't the malls, but I had fat TV and cassets, and excample for album _secam (a side) by dfyan_ conveys all those feelings of mine from the early 00s, it brings me back to the era of cassette noise, I immediately want to watch films from the 90s that I watched as a child through cassettes.
I was born in 1987, to me this is like the music version of recycled paper towels in a cool and groovy way, just pristine pure the good memories I never had but always wished for ♻ like taking the sunconscious layer from difficult memories and rewriting them to emphasize those deeper positive thoughts instead ♻ ♻. I played in jazz band in high school so I really like the jazzy vibe of utopian virtual. 😎 my parents always played the smooth jazz radio station in the car and even though they were mean, I like how this is kind of an artistic way of getting back at them though these artists distorting samples from those tracks and turning it into something transcendently spiritual and emotional from something empty and banal ♻ ♻ ♻ ♻ ♻
Me and my cousin were little weirdos growing up so we would have the weather channel music on the tv while we putzed around on his computer playing sc2000, simtower, doom, dark forces etc. I love that this is an actual vibe for people because to me this was just life.
I used to listen to this album every morning while I walked to school back in my early sophomore years of high school. I totally forgot about this album for the longest time but it suddenly came back to me just recently. I spent a good while racking my brain, trying to remember the name of this album. as soon as I found this album again and clicked on it, I instantly got taken back to waking up super early for breakfast, the walks to and from school, and those beautiful sunrises
this one always gets to me. the optimism of the 1990s is well captured here, goes very very heavy on the childhood nostalgia vibes too. teleports me to an era I was barely around for. Even then it feels old and ruined, the sound of VHS crackle and looping samples, leaving me feeling like oh yeah, it's just a memory... very much a world that is either long gone or never really even existed. really elegant record, I come back to it a lot.
If anyone is wondering, the track that starts at 16:32 is sampled from MF Doom's- "Rhymes Like Dimes", where that track was originally sampled from Quincy Jones- "One Hundred Ways".
"Start Life" is beautiful and so very close to a blues riff I thought of years ago which I only started playing again the other day, and I just bought and completed 'The Enigma Machine" today for the first time. Thank you so much for making this synchronicity possible 🙌
These days, I've been playing an old school management game called "Capitalism Plus" This music fits just perfectly with the ambient of the game, and the menu theme aswell, Guys, check this game pictures, I'd like to know if I'm the only one to feel like this about this game and this music. Sorry for the broken english, I am French~
Masterpiece album. This is REAL vaporwave right here. Not all that electro-glitch stuff. Just the soothing sounds of the capitalist boom of the 80s and 90s....
@S. Ferres You only think that there is the real taste of precariousness and transience found in life offered by vaporwave because you are, deliberately or not, falling into and fetishizing the sounds produced by this hyperconsumerist capitalism which have been even more distorted to accentuate the intended feeling of hopelessly transporting you out of this painful material existence.
This sounds like the kind of shit I'd hear while waiting to connect to an AOL customer service representative on the phone circa 1996. That's the point, right?
the point is that it is a satire of consumerism and capitalism of the late 70s to the early 2000s with each subgenre focusing on one aspect such as mallsoft fixating on shopping mall culture and aesthetics
John Smith That song samples a Network Music/Killer Tracks production music song called Chardonnay, so that makes sense. I think the context of the song in the album is more 90s Weather Channel than hold music though, since the artist samples 2 of the pieces of production music Trammell Starks composed for The Weather Channel in 1995-96
Born in '86 and it just dawned on me that I've experienced 5 different decades now... I have faint memories of the late 80's "floral shoppe" aesthetics, we had chess board floors, salmon colored interior etc. and experienced all of the 90's (started school in 92) with hip hop, the dawn of personal computers and the internet, was young in the 00's with napster, burning mp3-CD's, playstation and myspace, the 10's with the economic crisis just when I graduated and all the millenials were without jobs and became part of a counter-culture like the youth in the sixites, now the 20's with covid and a kid on the way. I am definately faux utopian in mindset!
This album makes me want to pick up the salmon phone in my penthouse suite and call room service. Or sit down in the fountain at the mall and wait for death
the idea of 2014 seems as far away as the 1990s . San Diego Pacific Beach and downtown near convention center is so vaporwave and still in its glorious 1980s / 90s architecture
06. 過去の宇宙 esc made me giggle😄 with its tasteful glitches in perfect rhythm with the rest of the track, very well done not too crazy just the right amount of zaniness reminds me of one of those tracks from floral shoppe
Who did he sample? No one ever tells who did they sample. Maybe the point is not knowing wher it's from and who did it, but I'm pretty sure all the tracks are sampled from somewhere. I'm not screaming for plagiarism, but I just enjoy the grooves, and would like to listen more.
Not one person sees it as the music in the lobby of Patric Baitmans personal hell as he waots for his numbee to be called that never comes. He sees the door open amd othera go into the u speakable torture univerae bit his number os never called. Millions of ueats go by. Total madness. I love it!
I can’t believe an album cover tricked me into wiping my screen because I thought there was a bit of hair on it. I literally just shaved too so it was all the more believable.
Does anyone happen to have a mirror or download for this album? The Bandcamp and DreamLife page where this was offered are all down, which is a serious shame because these beats are god damn F R E S H
This is mostly correct, except replace 2001 with 1996 and you're there. For me, vaporwave music is stuck in the world pre 9/11. The utopia promise of a better world through technology. I'm glad I knew that time, when the slogan was "What do you want to do today?" instead of "what new horrors await the world today"
a lot of the vaporwave stuff is just re "mixed" and recontextualised r&B and funk/soul music from the 80s. its still cool though. really feeling the art and the sound of vaporwave. even the atmospheric stuff.

@@straytonox1492who hurt you
there's a lot of vaporwave albums that take multiple listens before you really latch on to them -- this one is addicting even from the first listen!
Felt the same.
Real words.
I have to admit. This is rarity in my case. Especially with the loops, pretty cachy.
totally
It definitely has some instant hits.
I want to live in this album
you already live in a new world fam
this album is like being locked in an IBM office building in 1992
lol did that happened to you?
that's a bit far fetched but I feel you
You already here. Everyone does, and the only true escape is death.

oh how I miss the crackle of CRT screens and the compressed audio/visual quality of vhs tapes 🥺❤️💚💙
This music sounds like overhead projectors and VHS tapes of stock footage of the metropolitan hustle and bustle of the 80s
This music sounds exactly like my farts autotuned and slapped over some trap beats. I call it FARTWAV
@@andruis_maximusthat's kind of the noise you get whenever you talk shitmouth
I used to think I was the only kid who used to rock out to the weather channel music back in the 90s
Same. I would seriously walk home from school, pop a bag of popcorn, and turn it on til Dragonball Z came on haha
If anyone is wondering, the track that starts at 16:32 is sampled from MF Doom's- "Rhymes Like Dimes", where that track was originally sampled from Quincy Jones- "One Hundred Ways".
The track actually samples directly from Quincy Jones
A sample of a sample of a sample
how do you know it's sampled from doom instead of the original track?
i want to see some vaporwave rap
That makes a lot of sense, 過去の宇宙 esc.does hear a lot like something made from MF Doom
"Start Life" is beautiful and so very close to a blues riff I thought of years ago which I only started playing again the other day, and I just bought and completed 'The Enigma Machine" today for the first time.
Thank you so much for making this synchronicity possible 🙌
The opener to this album just floods me with nostalgic feelings.
These days, I've been playing an old school management game called "Capitalism Plus"
This music fits just perfectly with the ambient of the game, and the menu theme aswell, Guys, check this game pictures, I'd like to know if I'm the only one to feel like this about this game and this music.

Underrated album
+The Moon Man. Extremely underrated

Lots of CD skips though.
WHO SCRATCHED THE DISKS!?
@@ryancurnow5806 you're thinking too hard about it...
I'm beginning to think vapor wave is just digital smooth jazz from the 80s-90s.
This sounds exactly like the kind of music that plays in the waiting room in the dentist office, or when they put you on hold over the phone
but it's good and not a loop
This sounds like the kind of shit I'd hear while waiting to connect to an AOL customer service representative on the phone circa 1996. That's the point, right?
Yes and no, Vaporwave is hard to describe
The original sample is from the 1990's weather channel.
the point is that it is a satire of consumerism and capitalism of the late 70s to the early 2000s with each subgenre focusing on one aspect such as mallsoft fixating on shopping mall culture and aesthetics
I just call it good music.
the point is enjoy the music and shut the fuck up with your opinions
Just realized the album art is the cover to 'SimEarth'. What a great game that was. What a great time that was...
Somewhere in the deep recesses of space and time, I am in an elevator chilling out to these smooth sounds! Amazing work man!
I've legit heard "start life" while waiting on the phone

For a kid who grew up watching The Weather Network in Canada, this hits all the right buttons.
So glad to finally own this on vinyl, it both looks and sounds great! I have been spinning it all night.
Compiling a Luxury Vapor playlist...excellent addition
is that the 'official' subgenre name? I've been trying to define it for so long
+Alix Meek, I'd put this betwen Utopian Virtual and Mallsoft
yess, utopian virtual. that's why it feels so similar with PrismCorp's Home™

@23:54 Can't get this out of my head/heart. Masterful work.
If I ever own a call center, Start life is going to be the hold music
Given the current state of the world, this album's description now feels especially relevant.
this sounds just like the music my mum listened to a lot when i was like 6 years old.. in 1995
