Do You Simpsonwave?
8 years ago
Hey guys, a journal unrelated to cars for once.
I gotta say guys, I can't stop listening to Simpsonwave or just Vaporwave in general, the stuff really resonates with me. I guess because I'm already a very nostalgic person in general.
For those of you not in the know, Vaporwave is a newish genre of music I believe was entirely birthed on the internet. It's kinda hard to describe but from what I can understand from the official descriptions of it, it's a nostalgia-based type of remix culture mocking corporate America. It's mostly comprised of 80s/90s era corporate music, lounge music, and 80s pop. Usually slowed down and remixed with different beat-type samples.
Partly out of a joke, from how I hear it, Simpsonwave was born. Taking pre-existing vaporwave tracks, people insert usually unrelated clips from the early seasons of the Simpsons into the video. Adding different trippy filters and blue/green screen effects. While starting as a joke I think most people take it as a serious sub-genre now.
It's just.. gah.. so nostalgic and trippy and.. relaxing!
I first found out about it through THIS EXISTS, I'll include the links to those and some of my fav Simpsonwave vids. : 3
