This curated feature is brought to you by @Queen-Kitty, who recommends listening to a vaporwave playlist like Spotify’s while reading. Vaporwave is an aesthetic trend associated with design and electronic music. The music often takes samples of R&B songs from the 1980s and 1990s (though samples can and do come from other genres or time periods), then cuts the samples into smaller pieces and slows them down to create a new sound. Directly linked to this music, the art of the vaporwave aesthetic is built on nostalgia informed by art and design trends of the late 1970s to the early 2000s. Visual influences include the Memphis Group, MTV and Nickelodeon programming from the 1980s and 1990s, early computer graphics, shopping malls, logos, computer skylines, anime, a disposable paper cup design, and much more. The term "vaporwave" itself is based on the word "vaporware," referring to a product (usually computer hardware or software) that is announced but either never gets made or never
