Long video talking about most of the Vaporwave Subgenres. In it I'm going trough everything from Future Funk, Utopian Virtual and Faux-utopian to VHS POP and Late night lofi. Mainly focusing on the aesthetics of the genres but also taking some deep looks into what seperates the music of the genres.
