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

    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).

      home is synthwave, macross is future funk, saint pepsi actually is vaporwave but borders on mallsoft. the genres are kind of insane and hard to nail down anyway but categorizing those artists all as vaporwave is wrong. Macintosh Plus would be the best example you could use to define vaporwave and show how its nothing like the drive soundtrack.

        I was looking into trance music, listened to a "progressive psytrance mix", thought, hm, I wonder if I like psychedelic trance in particular. Looked that up, I did not. Turns out what I like is called progressive trance. I still have no idea what defines any of them.

      I love vaporwave and similar musical subgenres, but mostly just for their dreamy aesthetic.

          K, you watch the film about uk's most notorious criminal and what I can only imagine as The Northman but with more torture porn, mr. Snuff guru.

            I have already watched both Bronson and Valhalla Rising. Valhalla Rising is mainly just Mads beating the shit out of everyone and not talking the whole movie, and Bronson has surprisingly little fighting for being about Britain's "most violent criminal." Neither of them come close to Only God Forgives in terms of violence.

    Doesn't Good Time have a soundtrack sort of like that?

      Good Time soundtrack is honestly way more synthy than Drive. Drive's soundtrack is like this weird pop shit with some girl singing about bullshit, not sure how it became synonymous with synthwave.

      Good Time's soundtrack was done by Daniel Lopatin, the same guy that did Eccojams.

    If you guys want a real experience, consider the following.
    Pretend Drive is the prequel to Payback and Wrath of Man is the sequel to Payback. I don't even think you have to watch them in that order, but they all make sense as a sort of trilogy.

      Could you explain the narrative? I’m curious? Also which version of Payback, theatrical or directors cut?

      That depends entirely on the caliber of the bullet and whether you retrieve it from the body afterwards.

    There are three types of people, ~97% are of the mimic type. It's why most Cinemaphile threads are just supposed people endlessly repeating what somebody else posted. They originate nothing, they espouse Cinemaphile knowledge to participate and feel better about their station as mimic. It's the same reason TikTok became so popular, the mimics could easily copy others and get a jolt of positive feelings related to receiving attention or belonging.

    All successful animals are exceptional at mimicry. Innovation, invention, creativity is very expensive and has a high rate of failure. It makes sense that most people are wired to just copy what works to better propagate the species. It's what keeping up with the Joneses is about.

    I saw Maniac 2012 recently and it was like Drive if it were a slasher. The opening scene with him driving around stalking women was especially similar. But the sudden pan to Elijah Wood's eyes surpassed Drive's opening.
