Vaporwave

A musical genre with 80s/90s/early 2000's capitalist pop culture that create the feeling of "Artificial Happiness" that was commonly capitalized in advertisements before 9/11. Now, people watch Vaporwave as a nostalgic remnant of the past that allows you to truly feel the satire of Post Modernistic art and culture whilst also feeling how that Post Modernistic art is just another by product of consumerism and capitalism.

"Do you like Vaporwave?" "No dude - its just 80's songs slowed down and sounds like shit." "You really don't understand Vaporwave, do you?"
