VAPORWAVE: the music, the aesthetic, and the past that never was

Vaporwave is an obscure microgenre of music that serves as a tribute to 1990s music, technology, trends, and styles. Songs are composed of samples of music from the era, arranged and edited in such a way as to create a surreal, chilled-out ambience.

More than meets the Ear

Vaporwave is all about creating soundscapes that invoke a certain feeling in the listener. These soundscapes are made visual through Vaporwave Aesthetics, which incorporate architecture, advertisements, technology, and web design from the 90s to create a nostalgic mood.
