Actually I remember back when it was trending I used it as a coping method for dealing with retail jobs. I’d watch a lot of vaporwave being played over footage of dead mall tours. Before I became a leftist, vaporwave was my reminder that the consumerism will die eventually.
vaporwave was my reminder that the consumerism will die
yeah that was the original intent behind vaporwave. the juxtaposition of modern consumer kitsch with ruins of greco-roman statues was to suggest that our capitalist society will meet the same fate. it’s funny and sad that vaporwave regressed into vapid nostalgia for the 80s when the point was to be critical of nostalgia
