yes it does still work, but I also have to wait 60 seconds to test if the reply works

I edited the Dada Manifesto (1918) by Tristan Tzara to be easier to consume for modern day retards

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.

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.

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.

> overly muscled Moe

...never thought about it that way but you have a point.

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.

it's going to be over 40C here at the height of Summer...

>>0x000001

guys, it's +23°C for me today. rest in peace

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

> also, calling this genre "zoomerwave/zilleniwave" unless it might be anything-but what you, than me, would have in mind under that (term) :

> enjoy (or cringe, idk anyway)

sorry for killing this, its your turn to post some tunes you made/sampled! (maybe)

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.
