RE: The Rise of Vaporwave & New Age Aesthetics
What's wild is the influence vaporwave has had on popular music in the last few years that most in mainstream music journalism are hesitant to admit. Of course there is one no ultimate influence on things, but the lack of mention on vaporwave in this Rolling Stone article is absurd: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/producers-songwriters-on-how-pop-songs-got-so-slow-w495464
Blasphemy! lol but i think they have some articles on it :)
I would thoroughly enjoy more writing about how youtube has become a leveler of influences for a younger generation. People only want to talk about the obliteration of scenes and the changing of the way of things as a detriment to music but I feel like there's a whole new world and way of things happening thanks to the Internet. The number of rap and rnb songs I hear know that have obvious Boards of Canada influence warms my heart to no end.
