Saint Pepsi - Hit Vibes

Been listening to a bunch of vaporwave/future funk stuff after discovering the subgenre last Sunday. The entire album that song is from is probably my favorite thing I've listened to so far.

I also found 新しい日の誕生 (Birth of a New Day) by 2814, an album that, simply put, sounds like Blade Runner:

Skylar Spence is great, one of the defining people from the vaporwave genre/subculture. shanoxilt is also into that stuff a lot if I'm remembering right. Might end up seeing Skylar live in a couple months, juries still out on that one.

Birth of a New Day is kind of blowing my mind right now, glad you shared that!

Honestly, I only like vaporwave's ability to address anti-capitalist and nostalgia-conflicted themes. The music itself tends to be underwhelming.

I prefer oceangrunge.

Ah, that's right. Sorry about confusing your interest in the two. I should revisit oceangrunge.
