THE "LET'S LISTEN" VAPORWAVE PODCAST. Vaporwave is an art aesthetic that embodies the anxiety, disillusionment, and nihilism of the modern world. In music form, vaporwave dives deep into these unconscious anxieties, manifesting sounds from past decades - warping them, manipulating them, and summoning the ghost of the good times that were promised by modern capitalism, but never came. Vaporwave is an expression of the pains of the collective modern unconscious, taking the form of heroin-level escapism, ecstasy-inducing pop music, or dystopian ambient worlds. Because of its internet-based nature, its aesthetics have evolved so rapidly, further reflecting the chaotic subconscious of the modern mind.Vaporwave captures the modern unconscious of humans raised by the internet succinctly, and understanding this art form matters. In each episode, we listen to tracks that make up genre and give our thoughts, analysis, emotions, and commentary on them. Let's set sail on the Virtual Ocean.And now, for today’s episode.And now, for today’s episode.
Today is a nice, hip-hop and R&B vaporwave album
Maitro’s EP Holiday Season takes the vibe you come to expect from a vaporware album and paints a picture of his personal idea of a holiday season.
To us, Maitro’s winter world is one of nice west-coast beats and nostalgic 90’s samples. It’s something we love to see, especially considering Maitro himself is an artist from the Netherlands.
While the condition of the world is stronge, we want to welcome you to enjoy the holiday vibes with.
