And if they change, the sound of their music will change. People who are fans of Tame Impala and reviews that i’ve seen for the album cite this album as being a completely different sound for the band. I honestly wouldn’t know if it is a different sound for them, but fans need to understand that when you follow a band or an artist, you’re following their growth. A Redditor in the Vaporwave community shares the same sentiment as me.Īrtists are humans too, and they change. So once, I heard Tame Impala’s “Cause I’m A Man,” I immediately felt the nostalgic feeling that i’ve only felt from listening to Vaporwave. It’s hard to explain what Vaporwave really is because It’s just one of those feelings you can’t explain. This type of music just sounds like nostalgia. This genre of music is heavily influenced by the late 70s to 80s aesthetic. Now the way, I got into Vaporwave was that I saw this weird mix being recommended for me on YouTube and the mix included the song “Lisa Frank 420/Modern Computing.” This vaporwave song was my first introduction into the genre.
James Ferraro’s album “Far Side Virtual” is known in the Vaporwave community as a huge catalyst for the genre attracting attention. Under Macintosh Plus, Vektriod dropped the album “Floral Shoppe.” Floral Shoppe includes the song “Lisa Frank 420/Modern Computing.” This song is considered the most important and quintessential song in vaporwave. Under his name as Saint Pepsi, he dropped an incredible album called “Hit Vibes.” Vektriod on the other hand uses a lot of alias names and one of them is Macintosh Plus.
Saint Pepsi actually had to change his name because of the use of Pepsi in his name and now goes by his real name Skylar Spence.
Notable artists in this genre are Saint Pepsi, James Ferraro and Vektriod. The genre started gaining ground in 2011. Now, just like this band and this song, I was late to the party when it comes to finding out about the genre Vaporwave. The first words that came out of my mouth were “This is so Vaporwave.” I had to check if other fans of Vaporwave were feeling this way too, so I typed in Google “Tame Impala and Vaporwave” Funny enough, the song that I listened to was the song that many other people were getting the vaporwave vibe from. Once, I clicked play I was immediately taken back. The song was released in April and the music video was released in May. I’m always open to new music and so, I searched Tame Impala in YouTube’s search bar and I came across the song “Cause I’m A Man.” The song is the band’s 3rd single from their new album. Since, I’ve never listened to Tame Impala before, I thought I might as well give them a try. I’ve just never listened to this band before. So the other day, my friend texted me and asked me if I copped Tame Impala’s new album “Currents.” I’ve never listened to Tame Impala before, so I told my friend I don’t have the album, I don’t listen to the band. I’ve seriously never listened to them before that I couldn’t even hear one of their songs on the radio and know it’s them, Now, I do listen to a lot of bands indie bands, alternative bands, rock bands, etc.
