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.

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.

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.

what do you think the beats start out as

also this Naked and the Dead record I have on right now is going to remain progressive even after I'm dead
Depends on the type of hip hop, actually.
