I bet GeG is a fan, anyone else?

I know it's technically a joke, but I really enjoy it.

This is the first Vaporwave song I ever heard:

I'm currently jamming out to this mix:

I don't know why I like this. It must be tapping into some long forgotten vein of nostalgia.

I fucking love Vaporwave. Eccojams Vol. 1 and Floral Shoppe are masterworks.

I listen to a lot of somewhat similar tunes, mostly by musicians with names that sound like 80s cartoons.

Probably, it hits that sweet spot of deep-rooted sadness and nostalgia for people our age

That's arguably the definitive Vaporwave song.

I prefer the term "horror synth" or "retrowave"

Strat and Burt, you're not talking about Vaporwave. Go home.

I do like the songs Strat posted, what is that?

I'm not sure what the first song is (I haven't played the video), but "Nightcall" is Synthwave/Synthpop.

Not strictly Vaporwave, but part of the movement:

Red Mosquito
