For those interested in vaporwave here's a "documentary" [0]. If you're interested you should listen to this album [1]. I like anything by t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者, like [2] and [3] are good albums. There's a related genre called Future Funk [4]. There's a few albums that mix trap with vaporwave like [5] (my all time favorite song right now) and [6].

Here are some more albums I like [7] [8].

If you want even more then here's a list of around 200 albums [9] and of course, if it's not your cup of tea, feel free to dismiss this as a bunch of hipster shit.

Worth noting that the genre first started with Daniel Lopatin / Oneohtrix Point Never's work as "Chuck Person" and sunsetcorp. These are generally considered the very first vaporwave tracks:

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RFunvF0mDw - nobody here

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unN7QvSWSTo - Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1

Subjectively, I find this work (and Lopatin's other projects) to be superior to nearly all of the so-called "meme vaporwave" that popped up as a result. I do enjoy telepath/HKE/2814's ambient work, but it's not really vaporwave akin to either the Chuck Person style or the Vektroid style.

In line with the thread, all three of those styles were definitely initially signal boosted by 4chan and "meme culture" / Internet irony culture / "weird [X]" / whatever some media outlet wants to call it.

If you're interested in the music of 2814 and t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 then I highly recommend you check out DARKPYRAMID [1] and チェスマスター [2] too.

Also, a couple of great future funk albums I'm into at the moment are [3] and [4] - you might like them (if you haven't seen them already of course).
