Vaporwave

A genre of music that emerged in the early 2010s, characterized by its heavy use of samples from 80s and 90s pop culture, particularly from Japan. The music often has a dreamy, nostalgic quality, with slowed-down tempos, reverb-drenched synths, and a general sense of melancholy. It's a popular genre among internet subcultures and has spawned a whole aesthetic and culture of its own.
