Guys music theory isn’t the study of music genres, it’s how music is made and composed. Although you could talk about the Music Theory of vapor wave, what that means is basically you’re talking about the chord progression or what key a song could be in, Music Theory has nothing to do with Music History. Two separate things.

I know it’s not exactly your style, but I would appreciate a deeper dive into outrun and synthwave. While I don’t think it’s as diverse as vapor wave, I do think there are interesting facets to it, such as darksynth or chillwave.

@midgetman4206

2 жыл бұрын

I call the main, parent, genre "retrowave" because sythwave kinda has its own sound like darksynth. And while you may be right about the scale compared to each other, vaporwave does have a bunch of weird stuff like pretty much slamming a keyboard and calling it done. (which is as vaporwave as it gets, but that just means its a joke in the literal sense. It's beginnings were rebellious in the form of abstract, which doesn't really say much. But it did gain more, stable and enjoyable genres like future funk or whatever sonyboogie belongs too. I guess Lo-Fi too, but I don't care for that one, the other 2 mentioned are the only ones I respect but that's just me)

Listening to Vaporware unironically is by far one of the best decisions I've ever done especially for a music head such as myself. 💕

Personally, I don't consider lofi hip hop as a subgenre of vaporwave. Although it takes a lot of its aesthetics from vaporwave, it's more heavily based on jazz and hip hop, as heard by the acoustic instruments, hip-hop samples, and jazz-like chords they're composed of. The ideology of lofi hip hop also fits better with the chill, existential, and nihilistic thought processes of other city/alt lofi movements. I find it really interesting how people have classified each of these subgenres.

@PINKAS1

Vaporwave and all it's sub genres are the key to happiness and immortality.

I’m a 11 year long Vapor Junkie and the fact that the old old OLD school original Vaporwave style in on its way back is amazing to me

It seems like lately there's been a few more subgenres, like Barber Beats. Apparently, they're a distilled form of Vaporwave that takes a "less is more" approach. Some gatekeeping folks say it's not "real Vaporwave" because it takes samples of other Vaporwave songs and remixes them... even tho that's what Vaporwave does with other songs and audio sources. In a way, Barber Beats are some sort of "meta vaporwave" which is honestly pretty brilliant, more self-contained in the whole genre itself, more self-sustained, and it shows that Vaporwave itself is nostalgic enough to be used as source for more Vaporwave. It's beautiful, in a way!

Nostalgia is one hell of a drug.

One thing that I find so outa this world involving Vaporwave is the use of psychedelic mushrooms. My friend introduced me to both just this last year in 2022. I have been going thru depression and experienced great loss from 2021 and 2022 so my first time going on a trip he introduced Vaporwave to me. I just cant get enough of OPN and Blank Banshee and everything else. I also get sucked into the comments reading continuously into the historical comments made many years ago lol

"To see THIS sexy boy again!" *shows still capture of title character from Walt Disney's "Robin Hood"* Jeez, never expected to hear a statement I'd usually hear from a furry in a video about Vapourwave. XD

Even besides the music, to me vaporwave is a certain vibe... it's like those moments from my childhood, like we were on a trip to my grandparents, driving late at night with the radio on, some 80s music quiet on the background as my parents are talking, me on the backseat half asleep, staring at the passing streetlights through the window after having ate a bag of candy.
