Samples to Songwriting: How Vaporwave Found Its Voice
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Join me for a musical voyage unlike any other! What is the future of Vaporwave? We all know and love Vaporwave for its samples. But now artists are transforming the genre with compositions and lyrics of their own-and that's a good thing.
What do you think of singing and songwriting in Vaporwave? Where do you think this genre is going.

In my opinion, Vaporwave transformed from a genre into a super-genre where every type, from classic to Future Funk and VHS Pop, to the new Barber Beats genre are covered under the umbrella of Vaporwave. Good to see that it's still going.
This was such a great video thanks so much for including my music and videos means alot can't wait to dance with you again in the future! Love these videos can't wait for the next drop! 😎👍✨
We luv u Frank
Hey man, thanks as always! You did get quite the starring role in this video 😉 You deserve. Plenty more where that came from, I promise!
Now all we need to do is wait 20 years and remix this video into a song and itll be a whole new vaporwave inception genre spinoff 😂
The reveal of the person behind the channel I’ve been listening to for years. 🤯
Oh, that's not me... That's just my human trainer. Yeah. Let's go with that. 🙃😉
Right??
Vaporwave is NOT dead!!!
This was super informative for me. I actually discovered vaporwave in 2020 shortly after the pandemic began and knew nothing about it, I just liked how it sounded. I loved how it was stimulating and relaxing at the same time; it was the perfect background music for drawing and doing homework. Honestly I didn't even realize a lot of it was made from samples at first 😅 It's been so cool discovering more of it and its subgenres through your channel, and now learning more about its history and where it's headed. Thanks!
Thanks a million, mate. It seems the pandemic was a gateway for a lot of new fans, a bright spot in a pretty gnarly moment in history. Funny enough, I first listened to vaporwave in 2016 while doing art-small world! Thanks for watching! 🩵
Awesome video! I never knew that the Darien Shields Music video at the end even existed. Also, I recognize you from Flamingo Fest! Keep the videos coming ! Top notch
Love it! Just the kind of stuff I was hoping to get on this channel.
I love vaperwave
I really love how qt aroubd 7:20 you really put into words quite well, this vague feeling iv always had about the music and how it made me feel wile iv been listening since 2017-2018.
Thanks for makeing another stellar video!!
Thanks for the breakdown, Long Live Vaporwave :D
Absolutely loved this video.
Just wanted to say, there's been original composition Vaporwave from the early days (and even proto-vapor). Fatima Al Qadiri's "genre specific xperience" and James Ferraro's "Farside Virtual". Later people like Vektroid, Golden Living Room, Skeleton Lipstick,and a few others did original compositions too. There was an ironic-hipster joke that it's "slowed down 80s tunes" around 2014 onwards, but I think that joke got taken hyper literally, and for some people it's meant that Vaporwave is a synonym for slowed & reverbed (and memes). To my eyes and ears, it's always been way broader than that.
It's an interesting rabbit hole.
For me it's an online appropriation art movement, that has some eerie parallels to The Situationist, Ad Busters/ Culture Jamming, some Feminist /LGBT punk, and even to Andy Warhol, Richard Prince, Jeff Knoons (not a fan of Koons but the similarities are undeniable) visual arts people.
But it's references are much more modern and unlike what came before, the online component makes it different, and it seems a lot more audiovisual than most music genres.
Major musical influences I pick up on are Wendy Carlos, John Oswald, Negativland, DJ Screw, Boards of Canada, and Burial (more for the UK crowd).
Really glad a channel like this exists, and happy travels! 😁
Thank you for reminding me of James Ferraro-I totally forgot about Farside Virtual. (D'oh!) I'll have to make up for it in a follow-up video in the future. He was a big influence in the "virtual utopian" branch of Vaporwave. I never heard of Fatima Al Qadiri, so I'll have to check that out for sure. It seems the origins of vapor stretch back pretty far!
Good catch on the Andy EWarhol, post-modern roots, vaporwave feels like the sonic/musical equivalent, or at least it was in the beginning. Also, yeah, not a huge Jeff Koons fan over here, either 😄
Happy travels to you, fellow voyager!
Love these video essays. Hope all is well with you, SSAD!
Thanks so much! Plenty more where that came from. I'm well-work in the real world ate up a lot of my time 😅
Vapor has came a long way and will continue to grow and inspire other artists, i love it!!!
AMAZING WORK SSD !! THANKS 4 THIS !!
i always wanted to see a video about this niche topic that it's vaporwave with vocals, vapor pop ??
or how we used to call back in the day
V A P O R W A V E 2
it was an interesting journey for sure, again thank you so much for making me part of the video 🤗
THE BEST OF LUCK with ur new channel and content
Hey, thank you for commenting, man, I LOVE your discography! "Driver Down" was a killer EP. Let me know if you ever want to be featured here, you're always welcome!
Hell yes! So glad to see someone talking about what's evolved in the genre but still connecting it to the past- HUGE PROPS!!
It's all connected 🌊🌊🌊🌊💯🫡
It really is a great thing to see in real time. I make vapor edits but I will always be a fan first. Many have inspired me to make edits and get my vision out there, and I hope to do the same and inspire someone else just as I was. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🫡💯Keep doing your thing, soul 🙏
Flamingofest was a whole vibe. Waves all around!!! 🌊🌊🌊🌊
I had been curious about vaporwave's history for a while. I got as far as reading a Wikipedia article to get some info, but your video essay really helped make sense of its development and the people behind it. 😊
Yeah, the Wikipedia article is OK, but the info is best straight from the source. Thanks a million for stopping in, there will be more to come soon!
Great :) informed and intelligent exploration of this beloved micro genre; and it's nice to hear a reasoned take on vaporwave's evolution (and no dude shouting in caps that x isn't vaporwave because y and z). Love it.
👍🇦🇷
This was great
Our wound of nostalgia forever becoming the elixir for tomorrow’s kids
I was neglectful by not mentioning the impact you and your albums had on this change in the genre... MEA CULPA! Bow down to the 😎🐶🕶 (For real, thank you for dropping in!)
@@VoyageWithSoulSearchAndDestroy nah you did gr8, keep up what you do here you really have a knack for it 🐾
OMG YESSSSSS
Your compilation inspired this album, mate. You rock!
@VoyageWithSoulSearchAndDestroy that's what it's all about. Inspiring others to inspire others 🌊🌊🌊🌊
I love your channels and this is an excellent video. I agree with your points about vocal tracks but I think we should separate vocal vaporwave from non-vocal because I personally will always prefer vaporwave with no vocals or very little vocals that are distorted. It’s just personal taste. I prefer the mysterious sound. ❤
Amazing as always ❤🔥
👏🤘
Hey, this is c r y s t a l 日本. I'm actually trying to change up my sound, so maybe my next album will be all originals. I can't sing with shit, though, so I'll have to hire someone for that.
Tourist
Everything about this is wrong and against the original ideal of vaporwave
God I miss GTA Vice City, spent so many nights playing that.
@Solodolo84 @DubProphet Just making sure yall see this….
🌊🌊🌊🌊💯
You know wvsqd holding it down 🫡💯
