djdiggla Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Some 16 yr old kid was talking about this on NPR today. Never heard of the genre. Looked it up on wiki and it's apparently related to Vaporwave. So yeah, like... mystery totally solved now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I heard some once. I wanted to stab all involved. Not sure if it was just what I heard or the whole genre, but it had no beat and long pauses between each line delivered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 That sounds about right from what I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Vaporwave sounds like people playing records from the 80s at the wrong speed. Vaporwave has been described as "a degrading of commercial music" in an attempt to reveal the "false promises" of capitalism. Music writer Adam Harper of Dummy Mag describes Vaporwave as "ironic and satirical or truly accelerationist"; noting that the name "Vaporwave" itself is both a nod to vaporware, and the idea of libidinal energy being subjected to relentless sublimation under capitalism. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danswift Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I heard some once. I wanted to stab all involved.

DJ Rock Well Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 The first step to failure is trying to remix a bonafide genre defining classic. Idiots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think you can blame him when he was obviously commissioned to do the remix for the remix album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danswift Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 They should have done the same thing as the DJ Shadow remix project from a few years ago IMO (the one where anyone could enter ) I thought that was a cool idea and some of those mixes were pretty good especially Awkwards remix of Halfway Home.. And Randomatiks mix of Scatter Brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danswift Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I dont understand the modern world anymore lol in fact i didnt even know what Trap was until a short while ago..( thanks Dirk ! )The girl in the video has actually got a pretty nice voice and would probably sound ok just singing instead but the music just leaves me feeling dissapointment because (to me )it sounds so forced and like its trying too hard to be worthy but ultimately ends up going nowhere in particular - which is a shame as im all for progress in any artform but its more than usually the case with the majority of these sub genres in general that try to diversify from the original sources unfortunatelyIf anyone can convince me otherwise though please feel free to do so..
