A close friend of mine reignited my interest in the vaporwave scene a few years ago, and got me involved in a really cool discord server that was pretty active for a long while.
So many gen Z kids are just getting into a lot of the IDM staples, and it’s really awesome, I fucking love it.
Anyway, I feel like there’s a bit of cross-over with elements of IDM (especially 90s stuff) and vaporwave. Vaporwave still feels a little stale sometimes as a whole cause a lot of people make it very formulaically, but if people brought 90s style IDM elements into it more, I feel like there’d be a ton of potential to breathe more life into the vaporwave scene
