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:
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.
