I'm serious, though. The only closest author I can think of William Gibson, but even that is still way off the mark.

i should remind you that vaporwave is a conglomeration of relics from the past. its meant to "evoke" a certain pastel memory of the early digital age. its more a style and not really "content" as literature would consist of

Anything Brett Easton Ellis or Tao Lin where you match the drug consumption of the POV protagonist.

I was thinking about the viability of a vaporwave literature just the other day but I believe the most faithful kind of adaptation of A E S T H E T I C S would be old magazine ads for electronics and synthwave posters and old news from the early 90's

I feel it's almost more sincere than parodic. It's delving into one's guilty pleasures hence the gleeful show of anime characters samplng of older pop music that is much looked down upon in today's world.

Good rec. Less than Zero definitely carries some of the same essence as vaporwave.

>> No.6783598

>>6783577
I've been working on artistic evocation such as considered by Deleuze and vaporwave definitely has that resurrection of the ineffable vibe.

I'm trying to write a fucking paper on this kind of phenomenom but they won't fucking pay my last one so eh
