US Golf 95 is an enigmatic artist immersed in the world of vaporwave, a microgenre that emerged in the early 2010s. Vaporwave is known for its nostalgic focus on the culture of the 80s and 90s, as well as its critique and satirization of corporate capitalism, often through the manipulation of pre-existing media. US Golf 95 specifically channels the aesthetic and technological charm of the 90s, blending muzak, smooth jazz, and elevator music with a twist of electronica to evoke a sense of retro-futurism.

Much like the sampled and repurposed vintage commercials and corporate videos that characterize vaporwave visuals, US Golf 95's sound design is reminiscent of the era's video games and low-fidelity advertisements, especially those related to golf and leisure activities. The project's name itself is a play on the classic EA Sports video game series titled "PGA Tour Golf," with the 95 possibly suggesting a year in the 90s which aligns with peak video gaming nostalgia. Their releases like "Golf ep" and "Swing Tournament" conjure a specific blend of easy-listening tunes with a hint of digitality that transports listeners to an alternate history where modern life is a soothing round of 18 holes. US Golf 95’s discography, including tracks like "Metro City" and "Weather Generic I," provides an auditory collage of a bygone era, reinterpreted through the prism of contemporary electronic music production.
