Yes, yes, it's ANOTHER thread about hauntological shit. But isn't vaporwave, by the process of aestheticization inherent in it, ultimately a celebration of all the soulless corporate trash it purports to poke fun at? I realize I'm generalizing somewhat and not all vaporwave necessarily has anything, positive or negative, to do with capitalism. But if you listen to something like Ferraro's Far Side Virtual, or Luxury Elite's TV Party, doesn't it conjure an image that seems genuinely desirable, even if it's empty? Even at its most uncanny (like a lot of the "broken transmission" subgenre) doesn't it aestheticize its subject matter and thus make it more bearable if not outright enjoyable? Isn't that why the aesthetic has taken off to begin with?

Is there any way to really pull off this "ironic" approach to music without ultimately producing either a celebration of what you're trying to attack or something that nobody actually wants to listen to? If we wanted to turn this method against capitalism could we instead create nostalgia not for the ultracapitalist 80s but for times of greater cooperation and a genuinely functioning society? Would there even be any point to doing so?

yes, for it to be a satire it would have to be intentionally bad but that would defeat the purpose of creating music in the first place, but vaporwave obfuscates itself in irony which can incidentally be appreciated unironically by the uninitiated which opens itself to corruption and infiltration.

perhaps one could see in it a critique of superficiality and soullessness, just because a person is attractive doesnt make them a good person, if you know what i mean, perhaps that makes vaporwave reactionary since that would be kind of idealistic analysis

like lobby music for instance is what it makes me think of, other people might say elevator music but I've never been in an elevator with music, even in the 90s.

What do jazzbros think of the sudden rise in popularity of this album between zoomers and the like? is there more substance to it besides the Cool Japan effect?

is it a good entry point for the genre? personally i really like this track, very hypnotic
the fact that he only learnt piano 3 years prior to this while holding this tempo is also remarkable, the rest of the album keeps a fine palette

i dont know theory, but an element of jazz is improvisation so there is no 'wrong' as such it just comes down to whether you resonate with it.

This vaguely reminds me of the first track I found on newgrounds some years ago. The latter two are ambient and drone from freemusicarchive.

The story gets old after you first realize it and it just depressed me out

I just prefer relatable songs
When I was a kid I was really into taking vengeance on humanity and killing everybody but lately I've grown out of that mood.

I have only heard one of their songs but I would hire Black Sabbath and make them perform and record Iron Man without the vocals if I was billionaire
That's the kinda fun rich people shit I wanna do.

Rocket engines burning fuel so fast
Up into the night sky they blast
Through the universe the engines whine
Could it be the end of man and time?
Back on earth the flame of life burns low
Everywhere is misery and woe
Pollution kills the air, the land and sea
Man prepares to meet his destiny, yeah

Rocket engines burning fuel so fast
Up into the black sky so vast
Burning metal through the atmosphere
Earth remains in worry, hate and fear
With the hateful battles raging on
Rockets flying to the glowing sun
