It sounds like the sort of music people do illegal stuff to
This genre really was on to something then.Years ago, I would sometime have to visit my annoying cousins who lived in a really crappy part of Laurel.
Near their house, there was this mall, that was almost completely abandoned. Like, literally, it was open, but totally empty, stores open and everything. I remember it had this weird 80s vibe and everything was neon.
On the top floor of the mall, there was a very large circular food court. The only open restaurant was a Taco Bell. The neon Taco Bell sign was blinding.
In the very middle of this HUGE food court space was a few arcade machines. Not games, but like Chuck E Cheese type stuff. So characters you could ride, crane games, that kind of thing. And when I say huge, I mean gigantic. So imagine a really big imposing open space, with just a couple of arcade games in the very middle.
I was so terrified of that place. It was so eery and depressing and horrible. Like I was in a graveyard.
Every single vaporwave song reminds me of that terrible place.

So, set me straight here, because I really don't understand:
Why would you listen to this stuff, when you can listen to the original music so much of it samples or rips off? I mean, most vaporwave I've heard blatantly steals from 80s J-pop or fusion, or from video game soundtracks. Why not get the actual (or imagined) nostalgia hit from music that's actually from another time and place? Why does it need to be reinterpreted? The fact that so much vaporwave sounds so good just shows how good the original material was, and how much it still stands on its own. Listen to some Toshiki Kadomatsu, or some T-Square, or Casiopeia, or Ryuichi Sakamoto, or YMO.
This is all so weird. It's like a Wings of Honneamise soundtrack cut-up party.

Really feeling this album, so much so that I started checking out shit from the whole label:
This is so fan, including the video.I'm really into tentenko and EspeciaSynthpoppy vaporwave kinda sound. Can I get recommendations to artists like them?
tentenko - Good bye, Good Girl
I'm looking for some more slow-ish, jazz-like Vaporwave similar to bl00dwave's ULTRADREAM album, and Disconscious's Hologram Plaza. Anyone got any recommendations?
Pepsi is not even really vaporwave...I really like the Saint Pepsi sound. I gave Blank Banshee a listen and it's not quite as my style. Do you guys have recommendations closer to Pepsi? I'll keep exploring on my own, too. Thanks.
