• “Aesthetically vaporwave is just a distributed imitation of James Ferraro’s brand. Its mindnumbing arbitrariness could be easily be mass produced in the near future by ML - they’re more unironically muzak than they realize.”

• “I’m talking about content creation, not art. The vaporwave process is simply a curation of certain historical subgenres, slowed and bass adjusted. It’s muzak only elevated by subcultural specificity.”
