    It's really weird, Adam and your tracks made me feel nostalgic for the original version despite the fact that i had only heard it for the first time minutes before. I don't understand why this happened. Justice Cow and Ben, you made an original track that's just like so genuinely good partially because of how cheesy it is? This is really inspirational genuinely. I feel like maybe *I* can make something that's okay, maybe good even. That even if my track isn't very good on its own, I can make it into something great, that I enjoy just by smashing it through some vaporwave design strats.
    Anyway, i'm going to go listen to Count to Me with My Heart before hopping on the next zoom meeting

    Funny thing I've noticed. Vaporwave calls itself this vague satire on the 80s, using 80s-esque visuals to accompany 80s musical tropes (which it does)...but strongly emphasizes 90's consumerism and is in fact more rooted in an early 90s visual and synth aesthetic. It's a very strange, distinctly 2010s influenced rewrite of an earlier era...not only filtered, but completely re-conceived and almost purposefully "misremembered." Agree? Disagree?

    • @BenLevin

    6:19 I love hearing crazy complex chops, transposing and rearranging individual chords and what happens within them etc., but THIS is at the heart of why I love sampling. Sometimes taking context away alone can already recontextualize something to mean something entirely different to me, when you then add/change elements to enhance that new vibe, you've done all it takes to create something new that is enjoyable as something separate from the original, doesn't matter how much effort you put in nor how much credit you feel you can take. This won't always hit the spot for everyone, and some may feel their favorite music has been bastardized unoriginally, but as long as you've created something new to enjoy for some (Even if it's just you), again, I think that's all that matters.
