Anybody with an affinity for VHS tapes, 80s kitsch, in-door shopping malls, early computer graphics, and/or '90s video game soundtracks can find solace in the sounds of Vaporwave (or if your helplessly regressive mindset towards life has kept you socially inadequate after years of insomnia-ridden late nights of web surfing, or if you feel spiritually connected to inanimate objects such as your Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast, or MS-DOS era computer). Yes, it sounds like an absolutely ridiculous concept, and it is which is why it’s created a lot of interesting, creative, and unique music within the past couple of years (see: Mediafired, Luxury Elite, James Ferraro). It is essentially a sample-based genre characterized by heavily synthesized and processed manipulation of corporate mood and background music (infomercials, menu screens, instructional videos, office lobbies, hotel reception areas, shopping malls, etc.). Within the vast cosmos of cyberspace, deep within obscure music databases, forums, and threads, exists a micro-genre called "Vaporwave". Review Summary: Welcome to the virtual plaza
