The Inextricably Deep World of Vaporwave

My first encounter with the strange music genre of vaporwave happened when I was about 14, scrolling through the gritty meme recess that was iFunny. I remember seeing photos that all had the same sort of elements: an Apollo head bust, a cyber grid of neon colors, palm trees, and outdated fonts. These were strangely captivating, but also unsettling.
Usually these photos were accompanied by music that I could only describe as the kind of elevator music that must have played in a hotel that was built in 1983, and is in desperate need of a renovation. It wasn’t until just recently that my boyfriend taught me the name of the album that the strangely haunting elevator music came from: Floral Shoppe by Macintosh Plus. As it turns out, the nostalgia-inducing images and music that captivated me as a 14-year-old were all part of a budding genre of music called vaporwave, and I was very right to feel unsettled.
WHAT IS VAPORWAVE?
Vaporwave is both an aesthetic and genre of music that is meant to induce nostalgia, especially for the ’80s and early ’90s, and a longing for what we imagined the future would be like back in the 1980s. The driving theme behind vaporwave is that it makes you long for a future that never happened. Vaporwave music is often composed of samples of songs from the 1970s and 80s. These are usually pitched down, slowed, and resynthesized in order to create a thick heavy sound, like something is weighing you down and pulling you back in time.
One distinctive feature of vaporwave is its fixation with Japanese language and culture. There are countless album and track titles in cryptic Japanese, which are more often than not completely unreadable to the mostly Western audience of vaporwave. Many artists even sample clips of dialogue from retro Japanese anime films, commercials, and news reels. This element of vaporwave is also tied up in its constant pursuit of awakening nostalgia. Japan enjoyed an economic boom throughout the 1980s, which is now recognized as Japan’s Bubble Economy, that would eventually come crashing down in the 1990s. Before this devastating pop, Japan was praised for its thriving business models and became a model of technological innovation in the western mind for more than a decade.
Additionally, with the success of entertainment and tech industries like Sony and Nintendo, Japan appeared to be the country that was building the future, one that looked shiny, new, and full of promise.
Perhaps the best way to understand the nostalgia-obsessed mess that is vaporwave is through Jaques Derrida’s concept of Hauntology, as proposed in “The Philosophy of Vaporwave” by the website Vapor95. According to Derrida, humans can only understand the present through past experiences and anticipation of the future. Therefore, humans never truly live “in the moment.” What we understand to be the present is always defined by our pasts along with what we anticipate to follow in the future, and is thereby never truly “just” the sensations at present. In other words, the concept of Hauntology is that humans are always haunted by the past and the futures that have yet to happen.
This tendency to filter the present through our past experiences is what gives vaporwave that undeniably nostalgic sound. Most of us have heard old music from decades long gone by. For example, if a song is full of synth and heavy reverb, you will likely identify it as some musical relic of the ’80s, which will then open up a floodgate in your mind of your experience with ’80s culture, whether that be other songs, movies, or photos of your parents from that time. To hear these outdated musical trends once again given new life through being resynthesized and paired with grainy imagery from these decades is like rolling up your sleeve and shooting your arm up with the heaviest dose of nostalgia.
SOME BRANCHES OF VAPORWAVE
The vaporwave genre is laden with subgenres, some of which are so similar that it feels superfluous to differentiate them at all. However, as someone who has listened to vaporwave for a few years now, here are some of the subgenres that I personally think deserve to be recognized, as they exemplify the many sides of the genre, ranging from ethereal or funky to downright creepy.
FUTURE FUNK
Future Funk is the more jovial branch of vaporwave. It often samples from the choruses of funk and motown music from the ’70s and early ’80s, and especially uses シティ・ポップ (City Pop), which is essentially just pop music from 1980s Japan. Future Funk sounds like what you’d imagine playing at some raging night club in the late ’70s, where everyone is young, beautiful, and having the time of their lives. Simply speaking, It’s the kind of stuff that makes you want to dance.
In the Mallsoft genre, vaporwave allows listeners to reflect on society, especially on consumerism and the influence it has on the way we experience nostalgia. If you search up “Mallsoft” on YouTube, you will be inundated with sweeping shots of lush malls aesthetically decorated with palm trees and fountains at every corner. These are the malls that some of us might remember from shopping with our parents in the late ’90s or maybe even early 2000s. As Pad Chennington, a vaporwave music producer who also runs a Youtube channel dedicated to analysis of the genre, says in his video The Hyperconsumerism of “Mallsoft”, “hyperconsumerism is an unavoidable aurora of the 80s and 90s shopping world we all once lived in, provoked by the shop ‘til you drop atmosphere of those big mean department stores and malls all across America.” Chennington goes on to argue that as technology progressed, shopping became dominated by online retailers. which has led to essentially the death of the shopping mall.
The absence of that large comforting presence drenched in shopper’s high that was once the American shopping mall has left a nostalgic hole in our hearts. This emptiness bred the genre of Mallsoft. Musically speaking, Mallsoft is essentially jazzy elevator music, reverb-ed to high hell so that it sounds like it’s being blasted on speakers and echoing throughout some desolate mall, a relic of the ’80s. As you might imagine, it can sound like cheery background music or like what might play during the end credits to the end of time. Mallsoft plays into the nostalgia we have around shopping malls, romanticizing while poking fun at our consumerist nature.
VAPORTRAP
As you might have already deduced by the name, Vaportrap is a fusion of vaporwave and trap music. Vaportrap is what you put on to party, but in a thoughtful way. Much in the vein of Vaporwave, Vaportrap utilizes sound bites that are meant to induce nostalgia through memories of older technology. For example, many Vaportrap songs construct beats around sound effects from old Nintendo 64 games or the notorious Windows 95 boot up sound. However, it is also driven by hard-hitting, relentless beats that make you want to rave.
AMBIENT
Ambient vaporwave on the other hand, is not typically the type of music that you would turn on to jam out to. It usually features nature sounds, heavy synth, and frequencies. As the name indicates, ambient vaporwave focuses more on creating ambience, on building an auditory landscape that you could sink into.
SYNTHWAVE
Synthwave is one of my personal favorite subgenres of vaporwave. This subgenre is full of synth and mesmerizing beats. Perhaps the best way to define what synthwave sounds like is to first start off with the aesthetic that is inseparable from the music. If you google “synthwave,” you’ll likely see a thousand suns overlooking a thousand different cybergrid horizons. Because of its smooth, repetitive rhythm, synthwave is regarded as the perfect music to drive to if you want to lose sense of time while feeling like the protagonist in a cyberpunk dystopia movie, happily (but thoughtfully) driving away as the end credits roll.
SO WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT THIS AT ALL?
I regard vaporwave as different from the other genres of music I listen to. If I had to describe the feeling I have towards vaporwave, I’d say it’s morbid curiosity. To me, vaporwave is a lot more like walking into an art museum than turning a playlist on shuffle, but that’s exactly why I always come back to it. The concept behind vaporwave is trying to get in touch with the future as we imagined it in the ’80s and early ’90s, but doing this through musical artifacts of the past, creating a heavy dissonance and the sense of being lost in time. I can’t say that I’ve experienced even a single day of the 1980s, and if you’re reading this, chances are that you might not have either. So, why am I, like so many other young westerners, attracted to this weird, cryptic genre of music?
Are we all so dissatisfied with our present that we’d rather retreat back into a past that none of us have personally known? Do we want to get in touch with the sense of hopefulness and promise that the future was regarded with back in the days when our parents were teenagers? These fatalistic takes do seem to intersect with Generation Z’s undeniable fascination with all things retro, which has revived the record industry, fashion from the ’80s and ’90s, and old sounding music.
However, as we all know from watching sci-fi movies that took shots at predicting what capitalist dominated futures we had in store for us, like Back to the Future Part ll, Blade Runner, or Brave New World, often the future never holds the things early generations imagined it would and many times, that’s for the better. So, no, I don’t think my generation is hopelessly depressed and longing for the past. I do think however, that the past is always comforting, by virtue of it having already been experienced and therefore being known to us. The past holds no surprises, but can stand as something we can look back on reflectively through the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia.
Vaporwave is a genre of music that plays with this truth. It is overflowing with a strange, synthetic sense of nostalgia reminding us that maybe the past wasn’t as sweet as we remembered it, and maybe the future never played out like we thought it would. But, oh, isn’t it fun to pretend if only for a little while?
VAPORWAVE STARTER PLAYLIST
When it comes to music, words can only do so much. So, for anyone who doesn’t mind falling into the rabbit hole that is vaporwave, I’ve made a Spotify playlist and Youtube playlist full of tracks from the genres I mentioned above! Unfortunately, many vaporwave tracks and albums can only be found on Youtube, so the two are not identical to each other. For anyone interested or who has the time, check out both!

Step-by-Step Guide on How to Treat Severe Bleeding

Severe bleeding is one of the most common medical emergencies that can occur unexpectedly. Whether it’s from a deep cut, traumatic injury, or an accident, knowing how to treat bleeding effectively is a critical life-saving skill. Understanding how to stop severe bleeding can be the difference between life and death, especially when professional medical help is not immediately available. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essential steps on how to treat bleeding and help you understand what to do in case of an emergency.
Why is Treating Bleeding Important?
Bleeding is the body’s natural response to injury, but when it becomes severe, it can cause significant damage. If not treated promptly, severe bleeding can lead to shock, blood loss, and even death. By stopping the bleeding quickly, you can help prevent these severe outcomes and give the injured person a better chance of survival until professional medical help arrives.
Learning how to treat bleeding properly is an essential part of first aid training. With the right knowledge and actions, anyone can provide the necessary care during a bleeding emergency.
Step 1: Assess the Situation
Before you begin treating the wound, the first step in how to treat bleeding is to assess the situation. This helps you understand the severity of the injury and make informed decisions. Here’s what you should do:
- Ensure Your Safety: Before approaching the injured person, make sure the environment is safe. Check for any hazards, such as traffic or unstable structures. If the scene is dangerous, move the person to a safer location if possible.
- Check for Severe Bleeding: Look for large, open wounds or significant blood loss. Severe bleeding is typically characterized by blood that spurts from a wound (arterial bleeding) or flows heavily (venous or capillary bleeding). If bleeding is severe, it will need immediate attention.
- Call for Help: If the bleeding is severe and uncontrollable, it’s crucial to call emergency services immediately. Alert them to the situation and provide details about the severity of the injury.
Step 2: Apply Direct Pressure
Once you’ve assessed the situation, the next step in how to treat bleeding is to apply direct pressure to the wound. This is the most effective way to stop or slow down the bleeding.
- Use a Clean Cloth or Bandage: Take a clean cloth, gauze pad, or any available fabric and press it firmly against the wound. If you don’t have a cloth, use your hand, but avoid touching the bleeding directly with bare skin if possible.
- Apply Constant Pressure: Use your hand or a bandage to apply continuous pressure to the wound. The pressure helps compress the blood vessels, reducing blood flow and allowing the body to form a clot.
- Don’t Remove the Cloth: If blood begins to soak through the cloth, don’t remove it. Instead, add more layers of cloth or gauze on top and continue to apply pressure. Removing the cloth can disrupt the clotting process and cause the bleeding to worsen.
Step 3: Elevate the Injured Area (if possible)
If the injury is on an arm or leg, elevating the injured area may help reduce blood flow to the wound and slow the bleeding. However, do not attempt to elevate the area if it causes more pain or if there is a suspected fracture. Elevating the injured area is more effective for controlling bleeding from wounds in the limbs.
- Position the Injury: If the injured person is conscious and comfortable, carefully elevate the injured arm or leg above the level of the heart.
- Monitor for Shock: While elevating the injured area may help slow bleeding, it’s important to watch for signs of shock, which can include weakness, rapid breathing, and confusion. If these signs appear, try to keep the person warm and calm while awaiting medical help.
Step 4: Apply a Tourniquet (If Necessary)
In cases of severe bleeding, especially when the bleeding cannot be controlled with direct pressure, a tourniquet may be required. This is a more advanced technique and should only be used when necessary.
- When to Use a Tourniquet: A tourniquet should be applied only in cases of severe bleeding that cannot be controlled by direct pressure, particularly for limb injuries with large blood vessels.
- How to Apply a Tourniquet: If you’re trained in its use, apply the tourniquet 2–3 inches above the bleeding site (closer to the body). Tighten it until the bleeding stops. It’s important to note the time when the tourniquet was applied, as it should not be left on for too long, as this can cause tissue damage.
- Seek Medical Attention: Tourniquets should always be applied as a last resort. Seek professional medical help immediately if you use a tourniquet.
Step 5: Treat for Shock
Severe bleeding often leads to shock, a dangerous condition where the body’s organs do not receive enough oxygen. Recognizing the signs of shock and treating the person can help prevent further complications.
- Signs of Shock: Symptoms may include pale skin, rapid heartbeat, shallow breathing, weakness, confusion, or dizziness.
- How to Treat for Shock: Lay the injured person down on their back, raise their feet (if possible), and keep them warm by covering them with a blanket or clothing. Encourage the person to stay calm and still. Do not give them anything to drink or eat.
Step 6: Monitor and Comfort the Injured Person
While you wait for medical professionals to arrive, continue to monitor the injured person’s condition. Keep the injured area elevated (if applicable), maintain pressure on the wound, and stay with the person to offer comfort and reassurance.
Step 7: Follow Up with Professional Care
Once professional help arrives, inform them of the steps you’ve taken to treat the bleeding and follow any further instructions they provide. The injured person will likely need additional care and treatment, such as stitches, blood transfusions, or more advanced medical interventions.
How to Get Certified in First Aid for Severe Bleeding
