About Vaporwave
The genre emerged in 2011 from online communities, such as Turntable.fm. In subsequent years, it gained popularity through websites such as Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Last.fm and 4chan.
The imagery associated with vaporwave includes glitch art, Renaissance sculptures, 2000's web design, outmoded computer renderings and classic cyberpunk aesthetics. Use of Japanese characters and other non-western writing systems is also prominent. The visual components of works by JohnFoxx and other electronic musicians from the 1980s are considered influences of the vaporwave aesthetic.
