I made this album last year and didn't get around to sharing it here on Reddit. From what I remember, I think it's the most consistent album I've made. If you have time, take a look, maybe you'll like it

What vaporwave albums have you been listening to that were released this year? I'd like some recommendations. I've already listened to some albums I found while searching and others that popped up here on Reddit. I'm finding the albums I've found this year really good, they're better than last year

Well, I know most people probably heard the song Macintosh Plus - Lisa Frank 420 Modern Computing, it was the first one that introduced a lot of people to vaporwave, and it's still probably the track that introduces people to vaporwave. But I started with "Nobody Here" I remember thinking it was something scary, the first time I saw it, I thought it was a video to frighten people, Then I clicked on the video and got hypnotized by the music and the colorful road, That really impacted me, and then I started getting recommendations for other songs and videos explaining vaporwave

To be honest, I discovered vaporwave in 2018, and I remember that even in that year, there was a lot of vaporwave content everywhere I went, especially on youtube, but after a while, that kind of vaporwave content simply stopped. From 2021 until now, I don't remember if vaporwave has been popular again during that time

I honestly prefer those based on samples; I've always liked the idea of taking a sample and transforming it into something new, and that applies to any musical genre that uses samples, but vaporwave does it in a way that I find most appealing, But the original compositions are great too, I'm not putting them down or anything like that
