    The real way to enjoy vapor wave music
    Take a shower, start with hot water, move into cold water, then back to hot water. Put on some comfy clothes after.
    Get some green tea. Preferably Arizona brand, but any kind will work. It’s gotta be cold tho, and make sure it has honey in it. Mix it into it, obviously. Cold Filtered, or mineral water works too.
    Be tired, like PRETTY tiered.
    Lay down on any of these;
    •Yoga mat on a hardwood floor
    •Couch
    •Bed
    •Reclining gaming chair
    Light a candle, scented, obviously.
    If you have it, put a humidifier next to you. Steam makes you feel really fucking good.
    If you have them, turn your LED lights to either dark blue, cyan, pink, or purple.
    Then, lay down, play the music, sip your vibe juice, and just vibe out.

    God. This entire list is everything I could have asked for on the summer where I learned more about music than I did for years in class. All to experience a genre about broken nostalgia and piecing it back together to create art. Something tells me this is special~
    It's been such a good ride for however brief I have known you, Pad. You're a Scholar of the Softcore Sound. The Vizier of Vaporwave. You really do just appreciate this genre for the olden noises it brings to a more modern sound, or for folks that just want their past to come back.
    Favorite albums...god i don't know where to start. QuadratoX's 1995 is pretty damn high for its concept and execution...Then there's stuff by Polygon Dream with Zeldawave...Maybe more classic stuff like Dragonball Wave to really hit the 90's nostalgia button. Screw it, I'll make a list regardless. Too many damn good albums to say.
    By the way, I DO have a Crystal Pepsi right in my hands and next to my tapes. Things you find in convenience stores.

    • @heylookitsrandy
      @heylookitsrandy Před 5 lety

      Pad Chennington Well, thats the hard part, lol 😂. There are many favorites in the genre that I generally love, no matter how big or small the artist is.
      Anyways, as much as I want to say Saint Pepsi's "Hit Vibes" being my all-time fav. (Especially since, it really reminds me of the times where my mother used to be around. Also that, when I was younger, for the most part I somewhat did grew up listening to funk music from the 70s, and pop classics from the 80s with my mother.) But everyone, even outside of the community knows that album is an underground classic.
      However, a very personal album of mine--which is an all-time favorite and underrated classic to genre. It would be death's dynamic shroud's "DERELICTメガタワー". Surprisingly, it didnt made to this list at all! It's such an emotional rollercoaster, its absolutely amazing, psecially for an experimental artist like dds! Oddly enough, I'm not a big guy on experimental music that much. But, its something about that album that keeps haunting back to me. It also uses A LOT of video game samples to create this nostalgic, yet eerie, experience. Pad, I cannot stress enough of how much I love that album dearly, really underrated in my book.
      I highly, HIGHLY, recommend you checking it out. (Or even do a review on it.) The downside about that album, its really long. There's over 80 tracks and its about 4 hours long. But dont let that sink into you, its really an amazing experience if you ask me. Anyways, cannot wait for the new uploads. Keep up the good work, Pad! 👍

    I enjoyed the video overall, but felt that it would have been more appropriate to title this "personal favorites" instead. Very solid list here, but like many others have already said, the repeated artists and more-of-the-same type albums could have been replaced by more revolutionary or important works like HELLCOM's Energy111 or Sea of Dogs' Storm Memories.
    I've been working on the adaptation of Nmesh's Dream Sequins over the summer and I've been spending time outside of the editing room trying to parse through what albums and events have mutated the genre over time. To that end, I've been compiling notes for a series that covers vaporwave through the years to observe those changes. The passion that goes into your work is very inspiring and despite some differences in opinion, you do a wonderful job of capturing the essence and spirit of what makes this art movement tick. And in a fashion that everyone can easily understand.
    Good stuff, sir!

    Massive jungle and "a diverse pallet of sub-genres" is a good way to describe it and why this type of music can be so interesting. It's expanding for better or worse daily and it's easy to expect weekly output from small sub-genre labels. Vaporwave and its various subgenres supplies a seemingly endless wealth of novel sound experience.
    It will probably play out at some point, but as someone who grew up on disco and punk I think the amount of creativity being shown in this type of music and its almost non-intentional disregard of traditional commercialism makes it a significant event in music.
    Anyway, the creativity in all the various "waves" is through the roof!
    I gotta mix tape of some well known and more obscure artists on Soundclud called "Post Intrawave Plundersoft"

  • @mysticmamba5133
    @mysticmamba5133 Před 3 lety

    (very long message incoming)
    I truly wish to thank you Pad Chennington for this video and the many others you've made, you've really allowed me to tremendously expand my music listening. I come from a background of prog rock, and while I enjoyed a lot of electronic music, I felt like there was so much more potential for artistic, weird and creative music; needless to say vaporwave is the breath of fresh air that I've been looking for within electronic music. Some of my personal favorite releases include Buy Now by Eyeliner, A T R I U M by Hallmark '87, Palm Mall Mars and Shop @ Hellsinki by Cad System Corp, Birth of a New Day by 2814, POLYCHROMATIC COMPILER by VAPERROR, Derelict Megatower by Death's Dynamic Shroud, and the newly released Destiny by Tinmixer. I also really loved Forever Bastard Child of Your Angel Meat by Lick Nand (though I'm not sure if that's technically vaporwave). Oh yeah, your music is super fun as well!
    But, there is one album which I just heard today that spoke to me on a deeply personal level, Beyond the Soul by Channel of Death, which I'll leave a link to. As someone who several years ago struggled with very real suicidal thoughts and depression, hearing those feelings so accurately portrayed in musical form was heartbreakingly beautiful, I feel no shame in saying that this album brought me to tears. It's like this album (and therefore the artist) truly understands what it feels like, the music doesn't try to sugar coat anything but instead almost feels like an empathetic friend letting you know that you are not alone and that it's okay to let yourself feel and to reach out for help. We only get one shot at this life, and it's too beautiful to give up on. I know it might be too intense for some people currently struggling with such feelings, but for the reasons I mentioned, this is my favorite vaporwave album. Thank you for opening the vaporwave doors and allowing me to discover it.
