Add this to the list of things I'll just never understand. Subreddits with n*100k subs. For what? Something that sounds like tracker music from the 90s?

The article gives a pretty comprehensive overview of why people might enjoy vaporwave and it's offshoots.

Politics, humor, the aesthetic itself.

Some releases even have a definite musical quality: Blank Banshee has put out very interesting music, and some production values in Vaporwave-esque music clearly made it into the mainstream.

Personally, I love 'tracker music from the 90s', and it's great to see things resembling it pop up in my streaming app's recommendation list every so often.

And the music that you listen to is what, objectively better?
