I freely admit that I'm an outsider looking in on this subject, and I tried to remain at least mostly objective about this topic and refrain from making too many qualitative statements. I also admit that this was a very shallow look into a very deep topic. If you're interested in really understanding it as an art form and not just a phenomenon, please please please watch Wolfenstein OS X's documentary on it, link's in the description. On a side note: I love Vaporwave, and I think it's one of the few true art movements that has come out of postmodernism.
