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

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 (one year ago) link
the title of this thread includes “derivative products” so I think it’s ok

been getting into "News at 11" by 猫 シ Corp lately. it's a 9/11 themed album, albeit in the most vaporwavey way possible - most of the samples are from the news broadcasts that aired right before the first plane hit. the McDonalds commercial you hear in it was apparently the one that was cut in to. but you never hear 9/11 referenced, so it's either an alternate universe where 9/11 never happened, or one where it did but you just don't know it yet. it's a pretty cool achievement, there's nothing particularly creepy about any of this but in context it's very unsettling. I mean America as we knew it had just ended
― frogbs, Sunday, 25 September 2022 18:31 (one year ago) link
Corp markets the heck out of that album now and then (picture discs!) and it’s always rubbed me the wrong way that he makes money off such a sad day. In other Vapor news this weekend the nmesh / dream catalogue fight over royalty payments got really hot really fast
― calstars, Sunday, 25 September 2022 19:24 (one year ago) link
Like, I don’t need to relive 9/11 through an elaborate prism of Vapor. Corp is Dutch I think so there’s something to be said for the “outsider” perspective and presentation. But yeah personally not something I would ever put on as entertainment.

Not judging anyone who enjoys it of course. Always happy to have some Vapor discourse on ilx
― calstars, Sunday, 25 September 2022 19:43 (one year ago) link
if it's exploitative it's at least exploitative in a pretty interesting way, given it never really references the thing it's exploiting. I'm not sure if I particularly "enjoy" it but given the events of the last 5-6 years and knowing how it all kinda spurned from what happened there it does really hit a certain spot
dunno anything about the Nmesh/Dream Catalogue thing but Nmesh always seemed like a stand up dude and the guy who runs DC is kind of a dick
