Ishkurs Guide to Electronic Music

[Mblake81]

Going through a phase exploring this stuff. The nostalgia trips are real for me, find myself fascinated by the creativity.

“Vaporwave is inseparable from the internet,”

Vaporwave is an internet-based microgenre that is characterized by distinct low-fidelity, or lo-fi, beats skillfully paired with heavy sampling of existing media to produce music that sounds refurbished, post-modernized, retro and futuristic – all at the same time.

“The whole appeal of vaporwave is its use of remaining unknown, that in a world where nothing is private, it is refreshing to find something that feels like it was found in the dumpster of a thrift shop where it does not matter who it came from or who made it only that it takes you elsewhere, somewhere distant from reality,”

Vaporwave has an extremely distinguishable aesthetic characterized by its use of vintage computer imagery and its satirical appropriation of old media and the romanticizing of ’80s and ’90s consumerist culture.

Vaporwave also is a music and art genre that gained traction in 2010. Vaporwave artists steal, download, rip and record digital relics of the 1980s and 1990s, which include everything from Kmart Muzak to shampoo commercial footage. The resulting art pieces function both as an homage to and a critique of the late 20th-century capitalism that helped spawn them.

“In a sense, when we mine this old material for content, we're reading love letters to ourselves from the past,”

Edit Note: Vaporwave as well as other forms of synthwave depend on the artwork to help the listener understand the experience. Without the artwork it all sounds like electronic beats.

These links are going straight to one of my discords hehe !

I had a friend give me the best terminator fan fiction idea ever, and he's who's gonna get these haha. Let me share it, cus its awesome!

So he thinks that because Kyle Reese and Sarra Conner, banged and had a kid, the real John Conner, was never born.

Not the john conner that saved humanity. That one was born out of her banging some dude at a night club she never saw again.

Instead, she gave birth to a totally a new boy, made by a different dad: Kyle Reese and they named/thought he was the "John Conner" and told him he would do all this great stuff.

In T2 we see, that he is not the guy that we were told would lead us to salvation. Instead he's a borderline criminal.

In t3 he becomes a homeless guy. He talks about how he never wanted to be a hero, never believed he even was one.

He never fit the bill, he hated it, he never wanted to be a hero, this is NOT the guy that would have become the hero, he's the guy that was FORCED to be the hero.

Yeah, so I think that's a cool idea.

The real john conner, was never born, and the fake john conner, hap hazzerdlyh did (thanks to a lot of help from other termiantors) what the first, real john conner did on his own.

That Gunship album is probably one of my favorite albums of all time. Not a big synth wave fan in general but man something about those songs is special.
