There’s a difference. Synthwave is cool, dark, moody and propulsive, the kind of track you listen to when you’re driving at night ready to fricking kill someone. Vaporwave is slower, sad, brighter in a lot of ways. It reflects a time long past, one that might not have ever existed, but one that is indescribably nostalgic. It’s what you listen to when you’re driving at night and considering visiting that old mall you used to frequent so often as a kid, fixated on the good times and leaving the bad in a blurry haze.
Listen to HOME, 2814, Macross 82-99, Saint Pepsi. That’s fricking Vaporwave, and as far as I know no one’s utilized that dreamy, sad, ethereal, broken down aesthetic in a motion picture yet (that was intentionally going for Vaporwave anyway).
>a folder full of newbie shit is chan culture
Yes. Having a Cinemaphile folder is cringe. I figured this out in 2010. It's been 8 years since you election tourists got here. Time to figure it out, kiddo.

I'd say nice try, but it isn't. That was so desperate it's sad.
HOME is most definitely Synthwave not Vapor. Although you are basically correct about Vaporwave I would elaborate on how it relates to capitalism. Hauntology is a term coined by Derrida to refer to the feeling former Soviet Bloc countries have towards the lost futures of communism. Mark Fisher recontextualized Hauntology for American capitalism in his book "Ghosts of My Life". he explains how the utopia of products and endless growth and prosperity promised by the 90s which failed to materialize in the 21st Century is a hauntological loss for the American people. Vaporwave is often centered on this loss and evoked a feeling of "what could have/should have been" in the listener. see - Dan Mason music videos of classic commercials chopped and screwed or the subgenre - Mall Soft
Nah to me vaporwave is longing back to that consumerist western era of 80’s/90’s when the west was unthreatened on the top of the global food chain and people truly were so happy that there was nothing to do except just try the next products and services endlessly. Before the non-white immigrant hordes started to push to white countries with the elites playing along and silencing all oppression. Before left wingers went overdrive with their support of mentally ill things. Before online dating had made sexual and romantic behaviour a huge stressful mess. It truly was the best, utopian time for white people before their elites betrayed them in order to create some low iq mutt servant race.
I love both Synthwave and Vaporwave but they sounf exactly the same and you’re just being a pretentious neckbeard. Decent writing ability though, try not being insufferable and putting that talent to a better use and I see bright things for you fren.
because it was just a sad, failed meme of the week
zoomzooms got tired and moved on
they like to "revisit" the past they never knew and zoomzoom around it and they zoomzoom to somewhere else
vaporwave is ironic nonironic 90's
drive is more synthy, 80's style as the original script comes from the late 70's or early 80s but no one did anything with it for decades
???
Drive is based on a book that was written in 2005. It's a weird book too, they call the protagonist "Driver" in the narration like it's his actual name and it's very clunky. "Driver did this, Driver did that." Good example of how some things actually work better as movies than books.

Fricking hell, it’s S Y N T H W A V E.

Turbo Kid
Maniac 2012
This was a good movie but it did not have any synth OR vaporwave.
In fact can anyone tell me what genre this is even supposed to be because this song is weird as frick.
this movie is so average it must sit right at the peak of the curve
Terrifier 2 unironically had a nice synthwave soundtrack.
No reply. What a shocker.

it's a gay fricking aesthetic
You're a gay fricking aesthetic
I hate hoe this movie overshadowed The Driver (1978), that movie is much better than this overrated normie slop
Yeah, it's amazing how much Drive just absolutely rips that movie off and doesn't do it as nuanced.
