Vapor soul is a genre of electronic music characterized by its dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes, often incorporating elements of R&B, indie rock, and chillout music. Emerging in the mid-2010s, vapor soul evolved from the online music communities of SoundCloud and Bandcamp, where artists experimented with laid-back, nostalgia-tinged productions. Typified by lush synthesizers, minimalist drum patterns, and emotive, often falsetto vocals, vapor soul creations often evoke a sense of melancholic introspection. This genre flourished during a time of heightened social media presence, reflecting the anxieties and desires of the digitally native generation. With its blend of organic and electronic textures, vapor soul draws parallels to genres like downtempo and ambient, yet its distinctive blend of introspection and sonic experimentation sets it apart.
