Vaporwave is a music genre characterized by its dreamy, nostalgia-tinged soundscapes, often featuring slowed-down samples of 80s and 90s popular culture, jazz, and lounge music. Emerging in the early 2010s, vaporwave drew inspiration from internet culture, futuristic utopianism, and critiques of consumerism. The genre's distinctive sound is marked by lush, reverb-drenched textures, hauntingly distorted vocals, and a blend of electronic and organic instrumentation. Vaporwave's peak popularity coincided with the rise of online music communities and social media, allowing it to spread rapidly and gain a devoted following. As a genre, vaporwave intersects with chillwave, ambient, and hypnagogic pop, but its unique blend of retrofuturism, irony, and sonic experimentation sets it apart. Its cultural significance lies in its commentary on technology-driven nostalgia, capitalism, and the blurring of high and low culture.
