Chillwave is just a name for a trend. According to this list, it encompasses a lot of practice some of it productive and some of it repugnant/abysmal. A lot of it does not require much effort and it sounds that way and the amateur hour aspect of it is annoying. But there is some good stuff. I dunno it's easy/fun to make fun of it for obvious reasons but only a few posters seem to have been constantly/cynically going at it. In short, "take it or leave it" (like all music).

Nite Jewel? Is that even chillwave? More sort of Arthur Russell inspired bedroom disco IMO. Didn't even realize that was a choice.
