Waves Lyrics by Surfing

INCUBO™

2018

So what exactly is vaporwave and aesthetic?
I know, that sounds confusing, but let me explain
A genre that doesn't involve Justin Bieber, thank god
But it is a genre that first evolved and originated from modern-day internet culture sometime during 2-
Emphasis on 80s and 90s music and sounds
Smooth jazz and elevator-type music

Am I right?
As well as various other samples from a variety of songs all having a retro feel
Which are often cut up, slowed down, sped up, and edited in a variety of ways
Essentially creating something brand new in the process

Or in this case, hear an example
Vaporwave and aesthetic
Well, first off, they are two separate things, but they are tied together
I know, that sounds confusing, but let me explain
Let's talk about vaporwave
What is it?
Well, to put it simply, it's a genre of music
A genre that doesn't involve Justin Bieber, thank-
That song is often cited as being one of the first uses of the genre and has inspired countless other pieces of work
The genre has been described as the degrading of commercial music in an attempt to reveal the false promises of capitalism
Damn, that shit's pretty deep
And here I was just thinking it's a music genre
Boy, was I wrong

Since its creation, the genre has spread online and become very popular amongst the listeners who are exposed to its sound
Now earlier in the video if you remember (which I hope you do), 'cause if not, you might have Alzheimer's
I said that vaporwave and aesthetics are different yet tied together, so let me explain that
Generally vaporwave is the genre of music and aesthetics, stylized with the spacing of its letters, is the visuals that often accompany the music
The visuals are clearly influenced by the 80s and 90s and have a retro style that is defined by a handful of common characteristics

Such as Japanese lettering, retro computer and gaming elements, classic statues, soft pastel color schemes, and an apparent low quality
This style of art was soon adopted by vaporwave enthusiasts and became very popular on Tumblr
Eventually both the music and art merged to make one
Together they have created a subculture on the internet that many enjoy being a part of...
