Vaporwave is a musical micro-genre that emerged in the early 2010s among Internet communities. It is characterized by a nostalgic fascination with retro cultural aesthetics (typically of the 1980s, 1990s, and early-mid 2000s), video games, technology, post-modern Japanese culture and advertising, and styles of commercial and popular music such as lounge, smooth jazz and elevator music. Musical sampling is prevalent within the genre, with samples often pitched, layered or altered in classic chopped and screwed style. Central to the style is often a critical or satirical preoccupation with consumer capitalism, popular culture, and new-age tropes.
In November 2015, according to a Rolling Stone "10 artists you need to know" list, 2814's album, 新しい日の誕生 (Birth of a New Day) found success within a "small but passionate pocket of the internet."2814 cited Boards of Canada, Steve Roach, Vangelis, Burial and Sigur Rós as influences.[11] In the same year the album I'll Try Living Like This, by Death's Dynamic Shroud, was featured at number fifteen on the Fact list of "The 50 Best Albums of 2015"
