‘Member when the vaporwaves were suppose to be dead? When the whole thing was soooooooo over?! HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN?!?!?1?! How can something immaterial die? Ideas and practices are eternal. The conditional element of the equation is humanity and its ability to spread ideas. Without us, ideas would still be in place; they’d just never be people-ly realized. Then again, who knows? Squirrels could be telling each other some serious shit. On the real.
Welp, funny thing: vaporwave is thriving, and it’s selling out. And I don’t mean “selling out” (though it is/has been doing that). What I mean is that the genre’s physical copies are still selling out, big tyme. An internet thang, built on the past and being physically distributed through a “past” medium, is being gobbled up by fleshy non-bots who can’t get enough of the material matter. Strange that such an immaterial presence would be so coveted once it becomes physically obtainable… NOT! Just shows you how human we humans are.
Enough of that jazz, though. I’m just miffed I didn’t get myself a copy of death’s dynamic shroud.wmv’s tape, 世界大戦OLYMPICS, on the justly beloved Orange Milk Records. Complaining isn’t gonna fix that, though. So, I must go hunting… (elapsement of time)… Oh, dangy! I can’t even find a copy on any distro sites. Probs gonna be like fuckin’ $500 in a month or two on Discogs. Congrats to all you FUCKSHIT collectors.
But, even though all the tapes are gone, so long as this wired world wide web of wireless webs are webbed together, you can still stream 世界大戦OLYMPICS over at Orange Milk’s BundCump, or below. Unjoy!
