[10:13:58 PM] 五尾 {fivetail}: I'M GONNA SHIT

[fivetail]

The awesome @luxsidius gifted me a copy of Life is Strange, so that’s gonna be my next weekly Let’s Play series!

On January 16th, from 3:00pm MST - 9:00pm MST, I will be streaming the first part of a Let’s Play of Life Strange on my Twitch channel. Subsequent streams will be held weekly from hereonout until the game is finished.

These videos will not be publicly archived! Full, unedited versions of streams will be uploaded to my Patreon immediately after their conclusions. If you are not a Patron, you will be able to view the streams after their public YouTube releases during the week after the stream.

Hope to see you guys there!

Hi could you please explain vaporwave I've tried looking into it but I've never really understood

Vaporwave is a genre of electronic music that (usually) relies heavily on the splicing and remixing of the sights and sounds of the 80s and 90s (such as music, radio, advertisements, technology, and even anime of the era.) The general ‘aesthetic’ of Vaporwave (both visually and musically) heavily carries the feeling of a sort of broken, capitalist techno-dystopia if one were to happen in those decades of time. Marble statues and kanji/hirigana became popular additions to the aesthetic due to the massive popularity of Macintosh Plus’s album Floral Shoppe.

It’s basically electronic music made by and aimed towards kids who grew up in the 80s/90s, and it generally evokes a weird sense of intense nostalgia for most of us who enjoy it. A lot of Vaporwave artists even go as far as releasing copies of their music on cassette tapes that contain bonus tracks that don’t appear in their digital releases. The rare ones often go for a ton of money.

It’s definitely not for everyone and it definitely doesn’t evoke the same response in every person who hears it, but I really do adore it because it just clicks for me for some reason. My love for it used to be ironic but the more I experience it the deeper it seems to resonate with me.

I think my only ongoing issue with Vaporwave has been that it’s such an extensively sample-based genre, and I find most of the things I like about vaporwave tracks are the things that were in the original tracks being sampled –  in most cases, deep cuts off of late 80′s R&B albums, mined for their grooves… and at that point, why bother listening to the vaporwave cut based on it, when you can just listen to the original track and have, effectively, the same experience.

I know I’ve got a bit of an axe to grind, I guess, as a “card-carrying member” of the 80′s/retro scene. Vaporwave was born out of a vague ironic criticism of 80′s culture, and Synthwave was born out of an earnest love for it. There are plenty of artists who do both and don’t really care about the distinction, while others are firmly cemented in one and will never migrate to the other.

Also, Vaporwave, as I understand it, began as something of a joke/criticism, deliberately akin to Nightcore, but instead of becoming more humorous as it plunged ahead, it somehow became more deliberate and earnest which is, whatever, I guess.

Vaporwave doesn’t evoke any nostalgia for me – it just annoys me.

[seventhelement]

Vaporwave never exposed any nostalgia for me either, however, it makes me super uncomfortable and put into a weird emotional state that can’t really be described in words, which I feel like that’s more of the point of it than nostalgia ever was.

here you go, guys

[luxsidius]

Omg. Thank you @dnotive for introducing Synthwave into my life. It resonates more with me than Vaporwave does. I only feel disconnected and frustrated when listening to Vaporwave, like it’s incomplete. I guess that’s the point.

the more artist friends i make the more i realize that no artist really truly knows what they’re doing, and if you see them do something cool in their art it’s probably the result of screaming and crying at said piece for no less than an hour.

“Ah–!”

Your first reflex is to flinch, of course. Your second is to touch your hand to your mouth; you find a smudge of scarlet when you withdraw your fingers.

“Aw, did I nick you again?” Kisame mutters, low-voiced and pseudo-concerned as he moves his mouth down your neck.

“Like you didn’t know,” you say, irritated. “If this keeps happening, you’re getting muzzled.”

He pulls back from you and swipes his tongue across the blood on his lips.

“If I get a muzzle, you get a leash.”

The tone of his voice makes you speechless, but his mouth is there to help you find your words again.
