For this meme remix assignment I focused on the music genre of V A P O R W A V E<\/em>. Below is a quick background on the genre and why it’s a meme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaporwave is an offshoot of Downtempo that similar to LoFi. While it also uses low-fidelity sampling, Vaporwave takes a more surreal-future-nostalgia approach. The genre was defined by the artist “Vektroid<\/a>“, who released an album “Floral Shoppe” in 2011 under the one-time alias<\/strong> of “Macintosh Plus”. One song in that album, “
\u30ea\u30b5\u30d5\u30e9\u30f3\u30af420 \/ \u73fe\u4ee3\u306e\u30b3\u30f3\u30d4\u30e5\u30fc<\/a>” (\u201cLisa Frank 420\/Modern Computing,\u201d ) over time became the definition of Vaporwave. There’s actually a cool article on this here<\/a>. The song itself is primarily a slowed-down version of Diana Ross’s “It’s Your Move” from 1984. Because of copyright claims, the whole Floral Shoppe is no longer available for download.
Please check out Vektroid cause she still makes music and it’s rad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
