I should post in here more often. I've found so much quality shit between soundcloud and bandcamp. I might be back later with a big drop, but first I'll highlight one artists/album that stood out to me recently.

Airy, sensual shit, but haunting at the same time. Lots of smooth 80s/90s R&B vibes...I feel like it could be accurately categorized as vaporwave, but it's a lot more emotionally than what you'd usually expect from the genre.

When did we have a vaporwave thread?
I've been really into this genre recently, and I discovered Yung Bae who's my new favorite artist. Technically he's Future Funk, but a lot of Vaporwave shares similarities to Future Funk that I feel it belongs here. He's part of the Keats Collective, which is the same label that Saint Pepsi and Macross 82-99 (who you should be listening to as well).
Some Tracks.
I Want Your Love ﾉ◕ヮ◕
ﾉ*:･ﾟ
私は愛に ハイです
Distant Love
Selfish High Heels (collab with Macross 82-99)
Cry 2 Me
Hurts So Good
(The last two tracks he did this with Flamingosis, another Keats Collective artist you all should listen to)

He follows her through the synthetic haze of Kowloon. She catches the 20:46 to the island. They sit at opposite ends of the carriage as the train bullets beneath the city. She knows he is there. He does not care anymore.

I can't get enough of this...
this might be what he played last night at spf420 too, he played 2 or 3 unreleased tracks and one of them (the best one) was no samples. Didn't have the vocals though, said they'd be on the final track.

This was my thoughts upon reading this thread.
Seapunk is/was more of an aesthetic. Just tumblr shit. Vaporwave is an actual form of electronic music that's worth checking out if you have a moderately open mind.
we playing vape shit in here, come and share/listen to some gems - https://plug.dj/music-is-fun

Hey, I bought this and its so very good. Thank you a ton!
I've already dug heavy on Saint Pepsi and Macross, what are some other artists that are good? There is a lot to pick from. (Asking anyone)

Sorry for the 2nd post in a row. (Is that a bad thing?)
But I've really been digging on this album lately:

Free download of the album as well!

That one's considered one of the classics, if a bit challenging to listen to. You grabbed a good one!

Oh is it? Great! I'm loving it. Maxi Ferrari sounds like the most 90's sitcom cheesiness that I can imagine. Love it.
I adore Vaporwave art ~
But Faded-VHS' stuff takes the cake for me. It's beautiful.
Oh, yeah. On /r/vaporwave, some guy posted an album filled with late 90s - early 2000s futurism images, which (as one redditor said) is the 'natural evolution of Vaporwave'
This totally makes sense, and if this is going to spawn a subgenre of Vaporwave, then I absolutely approve. I'd definitely be excited for something like that.

everything I've checked from 1080p is great.
This e-label of vapordrone I stumbled across looks intriguing but they're all ~20 minute tracks so I haven't had the chance to try an entire one yet https://vap0r.bandcamp.com/music

I'm always so thrilled when this thread gets bumped, keep giving us more Vapor!
This genre is one of the things I´ve always vaguely fantasized about but never knew people would actually be doing stuff like this, if that makes sense. When I first stumbled upon these tracks it seemed like somebody was reading my mind.
I was born in 1982, so the late 80s and early to mid-90s are still very present in my mind - the early and clumsy Photoshop designs, the (now retro) ideas of the future, weird filters and odd colors... I never really realized what a distinctive aesthetic could be made out of these influences.
I really hope the threads keeps going, I´ll check out each and every link!
By the way, a lot of the Soul Hackers soundtrack has the same surreal feeling about it:

This is fantastic. Thanks for the link!

only just discovered vaporwave but really liking it
i bought the dark web album but actually kind of disappointed by it. like its almost footwork or modern electronica sounding in places and that sort of spoils the retro stylings.
some of the albums in the reddit chart are amazing, and mostly free:
