Preciate it

Idk about popular influence and when I say idk I mean I’m not disagreeing I really dk.

I think JWB is right in the sense that most popular music that’s like “pop” even though hip hop isn’t the popular culture tour de force it used to be the soundscapes and beats still dominate.

Back on the vaporwave thing what blows my mind is the consistency of quality of new stuff that hits my bandcamp feed almost everyday and the “slushwave” movement or genre or tag or whatever the **** you might call it these days - the ****ing **** these people are creating is mind blowing. The way it keeps recreating itself is amazing.

That’s really incredibly apt. You piss me off sometimes but you know your ****.

Pfft, you wanted Hillary Clinton you putz.

It's a revolution, mang. People said vaporwave is dead but it isn't...and it will eventually bleed its way into everything. Hell, I'm releasing a project soon myself on Bandcamp that digs a bit into some of those substyles but with more of an avant-garde / noise bent.

The reason I brought up synthwave was mostly because Blinding Lights by The Weeknd was easily the most streamed, downloaded, etc. song of last year. And that thing (plus the album it's from) is clearly riding the synthwave bandwagon and all that Retrowave imagery / aesthetics.

My fanclub always seems like a hateclub!

The nerve. You're regressive as **** obsessing over 40 year old music and desperately justifying why it will always be relevant so you don't have to move forward.

So salty.

JP was right about the lobsters btw

I’ve said it before but he’s so much like the dead heads were when I was his age or five years younger - whatever when I was like 20-25

Sorry elph :( love ya

Lol good comparison.

Elph will be in his 50s still drinking his newkies and watching Joy Division cover bands

Depends on the type of hip hop, actually.
