Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

@Keyguyperson@mdk@Vilageidiotx I'm no fan of communism, but I'd take a commie bastard over a smug libertarian any day of the month.

I get the feeling you're trying to start a fight.

The 'Explain The Appeal Of......' Thread

*Pulls this thread from the abyss.* Hello!

Can someone explain the appeal of 'Vaporwave' in both a musical and aesthetic standpoint?

The music tends to be incredibly... generic. Regular music sampling in other genres have already covered the themes pretty well and, honestly, it seems to be just another name for lo-fi techno.
On top of that, the aesthetic pictures/pallets/choice of ~whatever~ has already been covered by lo-fi techno as well.
Kind of like how Disco and other genres came, had their aesthetics, then left eventually.
My main point of confusion is how it seems to be the same thing as something that already exists. It doesn't seem innovative at all.

Is this just another generation's version of "cool music/art exclusive and created by us" type of thing?
Am I right or am I missing something here?
Why do people like it so much if it's so been there done that? Why are there so many people listening to it?

@Utrax

Frankly I only ever hear people talk about Vaporwave from an mostly memetic standpoint. Hence the whole A E S T H E T I C meme surrounding it.

Otherwise I suppose you could get away as describing it as being basically chillstep or whatever since the two genres sound synonymous to me. Then the only people you're going to piss off are the enthusiasists who'll no doubt go into great detail why you're WRONG when in actuality when you parse the components of even pop music you basically find out everything from jazz to blues, to rock to metal functionally operates on the same chord structure and progression so in technical details everything in the wide view is the same genre (it's why the term 'pop' exists), but differentiates in thematic presentation or topic.

It's something only music enthusiasts really bother with, or psuedo-types. Real ones get nerdy over orchestral arrangement. :^)

Wait, hold up, Russian literature is legit. If you have to read something from the 19th century, safest bet is a Russian.

@Vilageidiotx

19th century western European literature:

So on the 19th of June 1843 I an my cohorts Sam, Peter, Tabitha, and Carl set forth upon our journey from the port of Calais at a pace of forty knots into the Wide Atlantic, that great diving water between the world that is know, of which I speak of America, and the world that is old, of which I speak of as Europe and greater France and England. From then on we pursued leisurely pursuits upon the deck involving trained monkeys and otherwise acting properly bourgeoisie until we ran aground of the Nautilus. I shall now describe the ship in gross detail for FIVE FUCKING CHAPTERS.

Tally ho

Also feel free to give me more events. I need more shit for night.

I'm not a Russiaboo, I'm a tankie. There's a difference. And that difference is that I think it's pretty clear that North Korea's bad image is pure imperialist propaganda invented by the capitalist west to prevent the long-overdue proletariat revolution.

@Keyguyperson

I have to let you all know the truth about the bogdanoffs

They sound liquidatable.

On the bright side I did get everything set up and ran a test game.
