add this to the "insanely influential but not very good" thread

indeed - seems pretty clear that the whole thing was done on the fly, with 3 tracks in a row sampling off the same album. idk how it really holds up as an album but I do admit it touches a weird nerve that nobody's really been able to replicate

https://vektroid.bandcamp.com/album/dream-castleShe released this one at almost the same time…
― calstars, Thursday, 9 December 2021 20:07 (two years ago) link
yea once I got into her other stuff (back in 2012) it seemed pretty clear that Floral Shoppe wasn't even one of her five best albums. and she was only like 21 at the time
― frogbs, Thursday, 9 December 2021 20:58 (two years ago) link
She’s an inspiration no doubt

VAPORWAVES NOT DEAD
― unknown or illegal user (doo rag), Monday, 28 March 2022 00:50 (two years ago) link
was vaporwave inspired by mark fisher's notions of hauntology and capitalist realism or did it just grow out of the earlier music fisher was writing about? it seems very much an uncanny revisiting of an earlier moment of capitalism -- a false utopia or missed opportunity

anybody need a vaporwave album cover? just get KPT Bryce going on a 68k Mac in your browser: https://blog.persistent.info/2022/03/blog-post.html

calstars did you find a new home for Chroma? I'm starting to check out other stuff on that label. Well okay, I checked out the one release immediately prior to Chroma and immediately got sucked in ...

Ohh right. Maybe I should start a “vapor adjacent” thread for these kinds of projects that have roots in that scene but are not vaporwave
― calstars, Saturday, 7 May 2022 15:52 (two years ago) link
the title of this thread includes “derivative products” so I think it’s ok
