note: The blurred text at 14:19 should say BARBERBEATS. By mistake I used the term CHILLWAVE there, which itself is a broader genre much closer to SYNTHWAVE and the terms appear to often be used interchangeably on the internet (though both predate Vaporwave). note 2: I apologize for the clickbait title, I am by no means an authority on Vaporwave subgenres. However, these 20 are close to being a full set of the categories commonly referenced in online discussion. note 3: You might be surprised at the huge amount of Vaporwave albums available on *Spotify* (the genre itself has an official playlist). You can try searching for a specific subgenre from the video too! note how the hell did I get this wrong???: "Late Night Delight" was released in 2013. I think I got some re-release date?

error at 11:00 That album, artist and label classifies itself as "Fish Vapour", a microgenre that passed unnoticed in Vaporwave, but had a very promising essence: sampling Liquid DnB (and the other subgenres of DnB) and others underground electronic genres that sound underwater like Deep House, Dub House, Dub Techno. That genre laid the foundations for the famous *_Barber Beats_* and *_Sea Punk_* . Its essence in a few words could be said to be _music that would sound like the soundtrack of the deep sea and reefs_ (because of the "Fish" in the name) and taking the "Aero" aesthetic and fresh sound.

I got into vaporwave last year and even though I missed the initial hype of the movement back in 2016, I'm so glad there is still an active community! This video was awesome and I'm really glad it has all the subgenres neatly gathered together for reference. You did a good job providing examples of each subgenre and now I have more artists to look into! My Vaporwave journey began with Synthwave, Chillwave, and Retrowave. Around the same time I discovered City Pop. Then that lead me to Future Funk. After I discovered Future Funk then I fell into the broader Vaporwave genre. I didn't like it at first but something was super intriguing about it so I kept coming back to it. Now I love Vaporwave and I'm always looking for more to explore within the genre!

In my opinion, vaporwave and all the associated sub-genres represent an imagined alternative timeline where the 90's continued ... as if the dot com boom carried on and 9/11 never happened, what that future would look like. The sentiment is clearly expressed in a vaporwave video I saw a while ago. I remember it had vaporwave music playing over 90's TV footage. The video ended with an airliner departing from NYC and flying over the twin towers into the sunset ... It gets me every time.

I remember in the early 90s waking up before dawn to get the bus to high school and turning on the Weather Channel to hear my favorite tunes during the local forecasts in the dark. (Was also listening to the latest Aphex/Ae that year). So dope people found a way to turn it into a micro genre, some great musicians that probably thought their work would be forgotten but I knew some of it was magic. If only I didn't throw out my own VHS tapes of it.
