my thoughts on vaporwave

back

I wanted to have this page here on my site to remind me why I enjoy what I enjoy, and why I do what I do. I don't remember my childhood. I believe it was due to emotional trauma. I also grew up very sheltered and overprotected so my world was very small. For many vaporwave is a way of feeling nostalgia for a time that once was, or was supposed to be, a hypnagogic experience. But for me, vaporwave is an attempt of having a nostalgia I was never able to have. I don't have many fond memories or experiences to look back on, so I try to have new ones. I understand that fake nostalgia can be can be seen as "posing" and not genuine but vaporwave and those nostalgias are fascinating to me, and I wish I was able to have those too.
