refer to the transitional or transformative spaces that exist between distinct phases, states, or conditions. The term "liminal" comes from the Latin word "limen," meaning "threshold." Liminal spaces can be both physical and metaphorical, and they are often associated with ambiguity, disorientation, and a sense of being in-between.
Even mundane activities, like commuting or waiting in line, can create liminal experiences, prompting moments of reflection or disengagement from routine.
as an aesthetic genre, emerged alongside its musical counterpart in the early 2010s. It is characterized by a distinctive visual style that often incorporates elements of early internet culture, 1980s and 1990s nostalgia, glitch art, and surrealism.

slaps! you made?
A lot of the images posted above are post-vaporwave, which is a genre defined by the influence of vaporwave long after it has been and gone. You'll find the Helios head and major 80s icons mixed with liminal spaces and neon pink. It is big in AI generated content and Instagram filler, which is like the fleamarket of the internet. If this sounds like a value judgement it's because it is.
Vaporwave was initially a spur of plunderphonics, a sort of shitpost subgenre of sample music. The genre of Vaporwave diversified into further subgenres like signalwave. Early vaporwave is best defined by Macintosh Cafe - Floral Shoppe and Eccojams Vol 1. This was experimental music with heavy reliance on familiar materials warped and distorted. The familiar was the canvas upon which the distortion became the feature.
Most notably, vaporwave is anti-commercial and stirs up questions of ownership and commercial failure, which is not something that can be done when making commercial-friendly music (i.e. using "original" samples to avoid takedown requests). By making remixes of commercial music it is making a clear statement of intent - this music is not for sale.
This movement into commercialising a hobby saw the rise of the Slushwave genre, spearheaded by "Desert sand feels warm at night". He conducts slushwave parties, which have a wide selection of sample-based artists. The Slushwave parties are good fun, but the artists are rarely vaporwave or vaporwave adjacent, with the majority using their own original samples, or masking as related in order to sell to a new audience.
This says something wider on the topic of the art as a whole. Initially vaporwave asked "what can music and ownership be?". Post-vaporwave says "these are the icons of vaporwave, you must use them as symbols - but you must only reference them by their shadows in order to keep the lawyers placated".
Vaporwave was pottery. Post-vaporwave is the endless recreation of legally distinct Ming Vases.

I agree with your sentiment abour vaporwave as a music genre. It's incredibly disappointing to see not just how vaporwave is used as a vehicle for people trying to push commercial music and commercial record labels in this day and age, but also how people who were on the cutting edge of the genre in the early twenty tens shed all their scruples and race to show their faces as fast they can to capitalize on it.
As a visual aesthetic I tend to be more forgiving. The worst crime that visual artists commit when doing vaporwave is copying people before them, or often times, not being aware of the genre as a sonic movement at all. There is arguably a problem with people not knowing the difference between synthwave aesthetic and vaporwave aesthetic, but overall I'm not as strict in my critiques of the visual aesthetics.
Despite sharing the same name, they don't always have that much in common (the visual and sonic). A lot of times the visual representations had more to do with the early 2010s than with vaporwave in particular, which just happened to blossom at the same time as those visual aesthetics.
Because it's an imageboard, I thought it would be cool to gather a collection of art to put into the thread and show off the image displaying functionality of the site. But I agree completely that vaporwave is more important as music genre than a visual art genre, as iconic as the aesthetic is at this point. It is sad that the majority of people will never know or care about that.
are you ready for this summer?
are you sensitive to the heat?
what's your temperature limit?
any tips for staying alive this summer?
optional bonus: from what climate area are you from?
___
i'm not ready and will not be ready... ever. i'm verrryy sensitive to the heat, and i'm dying if outside is hotter than +20°C. i'm originally from beyond polar circle, and now i live in central europe.... EU guys yall insane how do you handle this nightmare every year?
i have one tip: live in the freezer.
While I cannot disclose my exact location due to security critical opsec reasons, it is the asscrack of the world where winter lasts 2 months and the rest of the year is fuck you in the ass humidity and summer.
I absolutely dread it. I love going outside and taking long walks, and you just can't this time of year.
The best defense I have against it:
> take multiple showers per day
> portable ac unit that hooks to window for room you sleep in
>>0x000001
guys, it's +23°C for me today. rest in peace
it's going to be over 40C here at the height of Summer...
Invest in talc. It massively reduces stickiness and chaffing in the groin and arm pits.
Stay hydrated.
Make ghetto air con - put bottles of water in the freezer and bring them out to melt in the room you want to chill. Put them behind a fan for best results.
Close the curtains of the windows facing the sun.
At night open your doors and windows to cause a breeze to pass through the house.
Use thin sheets to wick away sweat.
Buy some fans to move air around your house.
Don't cook - eat more salads and sandwiches so you aren't running a box of fire in your house.
Turn off lights and get low energy lightbulbs - they put out less heat.
Keep windows closed if it's hotter outside
Grow trees and plants in your garden - they reflect heat and also absorb it. They also release water which draws the heat away.
I dread summer and it gets worse every year. Fuck climate change.
Exhaustion and frustration replace his usual determination, each jump and death blending into a blur of punishing obstacles. Every trap and invisible block now haunts him, his mind stuck in an endless loop of brutal challenges.
Mario prays for death to take him.
Post video game stuff here (if you want).

Shadowheart was clearly meant to be the obvious love interest, with Astarion being the twink heart throb for fujoshi to latch onto. They were both irritating, with Shadowheart being whiney and Astarion being rapey.
The saving grace of BG3 is Shovel the Quasit. She understood what it was to be a murder hobo.
You could tell there were some characters who were built to have depth and nuance, and there were ones which were built to be obvious and relatable (but always actually squeaky-clean) for the Tumblr crowd.
We were talking about web comics with themes of depression on the other thread. I did like that one, and while I can relate with the anxiety-induced isolation of the character, I can't relate with the cuteness of it all. There is nothing cute about my life.
I wanted to share enough of this comic to show you what I mean.
I tried to capture the vibe with a few shots. But you should definitely be looking at all the panels in order on the actual page.
There's 14 chapters: https://tapas.io/series/Moes-Finale/info
holy shit this comic is good
It looks like the comic cuts off before the sex fantasy begins. Everything in this comic points towards an erotic comic - the overly muscled Moe, the dark male hands, the tentacles in a shadowy bedroom pulling the character back into the bed. You can't escape the kind of artist you have trained to be.
only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE

I've been diving back into old emo/screamo after not listening to a lot of it for over ten years. I'm keeping a record of things I've been listening to in this thread so that maybe I won't forget all the obscure records this time around.

This album is one of the greatest screamo albums of all time despite being from the era of hardcore that ultimately killed hardcore imo.
Screamo revival was cool for the earliest years of the 2010s but the longer it went on, the more insufferable the cancel culture within it became.

It was definitely social suicide to be a playboy dude in a band in a small local scene by 2015. It was only a matter of time before one of those girls decided to axe you.
I'm not denying that it happens. It happens all the time but it goes both ways.
During that time period, there was no question: If a woman decides to say you're a creep, the whole community would outcast you.
>>0x000006
this is so beautiful. You have to stick with it but the climax at the end is just perfect.
Video is my favorite music video in all screamo.
Not that it was ever a genre big on MV but yeah.
The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel. Beneath it, we carve out our neon dreams and dystopian fantasies. This is the Cyberpunk Thread, a digital alleyway where art bleeds into reality, and reality is as mutable as the code that binds us.

Welcome to the future, chummer.
ITT post screen caps of social media tier stupidity.
Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon. It's all the same shit if you ask me.
>>0x000001
Flux, this was a good thread idea. The main problem is that almost no one uses Mastodon anymore. But lucky for us, all the social media platforms are just as stupid as each other, so we can farm any of them potentially.
I'm hijacking the OP of this thread because that's something I have the power to do. But it's only because I think this thread has potential.
This one isn't Mastodon but it's still p gd funny
See how 0x000004 is now at the top but you can still tell the original OP was 0x000001?
That is a feature.
