    This is my favorite subgenre of vaporwave. It's exactly how I picture a futuristic, yet emotionless, robotic mall plaza. It's all controlled by automatic intelligence. And it's strangely, strangely comforting.

      I think it's comforting because it's an environment where everything is designed and controlled, just like real ultra-modern urban areas. All risks are removed on purpose and things are set up for your comfort and safety. You're not vulnerable to scary, chaotic nature, unlike how much of the world's people live today.

    I may be the only vaporwave fan that is actually in old enough to remember living in a distinctly vaporwave reality as a young adult in the 90s. I wore Structure, Gap and Nautica, and smelled of The Gap’s signature “grass scent”. I worked at The Body Shop. Had the first iMac. Later, worked in the corporate world of art consulting just after 9/11. High rises and empty corporate facilities at night were my working day.

I always imagine myself living in some second life type world, being in a massive virtual mall with marble and palm trees, clear water.

    Us 90s kids have grown up with and learned to cope with 8, 32 & 64 bit bottle rockets that have forced us to constantly hit a ceiling of promising, yet failing technology to compensate the subrogation of "the real thing". This uncanny valley of realism has a special nostalgia like no other era, in that our digital disappointment has become nostalgic.

    Great video on the importance and role of Utopian Virtual within the greater vaporwave movement. When I was newly getting into vaporwave music and learning to appreciate the various aspects of its aesthetic appeal, I remember always having this thought that the anonymous nature of its creators was an important part of enjoying the music and kind of 'suspending disbelief'. When I started to learn more about the genre and its creators, and I learned about some of the real people, the faces and names, behind the online monikers, I noticed that my appreciation for the music only improved. Seeing the real people behind the music chnages it, though. Those real people make you see the creation of the music and think of the thought processes that led to and undermine the tracks. They make you remember the components of the music being manipulated and combined have been touched by people who appreciate the past and are fascinated by the future, just like you. When you don't see the artist, only a pseudonym, it is easier to think of the music as otherworldly or untouched by man. While this can be great, it can be just as enriching or more to see the artist behind the music.

    There's a UK artist who goes by Murlo. He has a very unique and distinct sound. He's also an animator and illustrator. I encountered him through the instrumental grime scene that had a revival round 2013 on this VA called BXDLDN of which there were two volumes, allong with many others that were coming up back then. Really good stuff. I personally think that his work is groundbreaking although very much overlooked.

      @@PadChennington Sure man. You'll find that his sound design is really unique. Lots of contrast as the melody are kind of "icey" ( proper eski tings! lol), yet the bass is ususally warm, and I love his drums. He does quite a bit of interesting R&B, UK Funky, Garage, Dancehall and some Grime. He's also got this one track called Icebound that is like a dark and misty dancehall riddim. I would call it UK club music, with a mythological/philosophical or fantasy theme basically. Some of it is also just dreamy compositions, not necessarily dance tracks. He just came out with a graphic novel to accompany his most recent release.
      Edit: I should also add that his work has recently appropriated some happy hardcore and nostalgic hardcore vibes. So it's def heading in a more quintessentially "rave" direction. in my opinion, he's definitely showing his versatility, and that's where I gather his pursuits are authentically artistic in the purist sense of the term. Murlo approaches music as a true craftsman would.

    Yo! I don’t know if you still read comments, but I think a… interesting genre you could take a look at is Extratone. Basically noise music that you can still find the pure base of the music in it.

    Pad, I started making a vaporwave song, and it sounded something like Freed From The World, an album I would not have known about without your channel. I'm thinking of continuing this pattern and making something similar to that album. Do you think that's a good idea? I love you channel by the way, and thanks for getting me into mallsoft and signal wave - some amazing content!

      I think that vaporwave itself is a collection of different sub-genres. In other words, there is no one album out there that can be defined as purely vaporwave, but instead as a vaporwave album placed into one of its many sub-genres.

    • @king0vitrial
      @king0vitrial 5 лет назад +9

      I've been a fan of vaporware since the seapunk days. It's all subgenres, vaporwave is just a basket; like rock music for example, you got hard rock, arena rock, soft rock, but all the subs are almost interchangeable after a little while.
