They're the children of cuban expats who are really mad about what happened still that they support the embargo and other measures because they want to punish Castro at the expense of also pointlessly punishing the families and citizenry of the island. THey should be ashamed and ignored in national policy but it's entirely unsurprising.

That's the side of miami absolutely nobody is drawing their musical aesthetic choices from.

Angry right-wing Florida Cubans are mostly either the people or the descendants of the people who revolutions tend to happen because of.

For Vaporwave you obviously have Macintosh Plus, who created "That Vaporwave Hook":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU8HrO7XuiE

It's chopped and screwed Diana Ross, but the album, Floral Shoppe, is actually really good.

Saint Pepsi has a similar thing going on, but with less off time editing and more hook looping:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hI0qMtdfng

For the Future Funk side of things (which is my real fave), you take old and obscure disco tracks and amp up the slaps.

マクロスMACROSS 82-99 is primarily future funk but also delves into vaporwave aesthetics at times. Here's a track from the SAILORWAVE album:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtBOlvHwpFo

Finally we have my personal favorite artist at the time, Yung Bae:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mb_YCIWEMk

He samples a lot of obscure 80s pop and R&B artists from Europe and Asia and Bandcamp output is only a few bucks an album.

Basically if you like anime/1980s/1990s aesthetics, you'll probably really enjoy this stuff.

Vaporwave has that huge image that I think someone on Reddit made, breaking everything down into the subgenres etc. But yeah, anything Vektroid put out under one of her many pseudonyms is going to be highly rated and a good place to start.

The gap between his last two releases was ridiculous, then I only liked one track on the new one :( hoping I'll dig this full length one better at least. Danger always rocked in the years before synthwave was even a term.

If you missed Danger's work on the Furi soundtrack you should definitely check it out, it's a lot...uh I dunno bigger? like his older work. This new one is a little muted in comparison.

I'm not digging this Danger album at all. What the hell happened? This is like the work of a completely different artist.

... yeah. There's a few rad spots, but wow, meh. Still not as disappointing as Justice's 'Woman' though.

Neither of them is objectively a bad album I guess; like, I can see who each would appeal to... but that person is not me, even though I'm a big fan of previous material, so it's pretty frustrating. Which I admit is selfish but hey, the heart wants what it likes. I hope it reaches that not-me person somehow.

Help, I started listening to synthwave a while ago and now I can't listen to anything else. It's wierd cause so much of the genre is so samey, but the stuff that stands out just hooks me.

Has anyone mentioned OGRE in the thread yet? He's the artist who got me into the genre. https://ogresound.bandcamp.com/album/194

Com Truise had a pretty neat set up, but yeah, it's just some LED arrays showing abstract stuff that looked like the album covers.

Still rad, though.
