Abstract

Vaporwave is a music genre that appears in the 2010s and it lives on the internet. It remixes clips from the 1980s or 90s music and electronic sounds, which gives people a strong sense of confusion, emptiness and dislocation of time and space. The unique characteristics of vaporwave actually represent the attitude against capitalism and consumer culture. This essay emphasises how vaporwave utilises its features and ideas to criticise capitalism. Specifically, there are three parts that discuss the meaning of names, the ideology of vaporwave and the visual aesthetics of vaporwave.
