It's because s(he's) crazy, has meltdowns where they go offline for months at a time and keeps teasing the sequel to Floral Shoppe.

>created a new genre and aesthetic
false. it was just slowing down shitty music which was nothing new. only rym trannies think otherwise

the origins of vaporwave lay in hypnogogic pop like ariel pink and james ferrao and vaporwave proper starts with Daniel lopatin.


this trannoid just got lucky slowing down a song

it had the one good song

>>126726761
Liminal Spaces are kino are the only interesting thing that Millenials ever did

>>126726842
theres no such things its just a picture of an empty furniture shop ffs everything else is in your head

>>126726709
This and only this
One hit wonder

>>126727329
nah its real it just has the worst descriptions ever
its literally just an empty space with an implied jump scare
thats it
i don't blame you for hating that word since some of the worst people in the world like to use it which overlaps with people who have their heads so far up their own ass they can't coherently describe anything

>>126726612 (OP)
This isn't even his best work.

Tanning Salon - Dream Castle
Vektordrum - Geese I, Banished Re-cut
Vektordrum - Hello Skypedals EP1
Sacred Tapestry - Shader (I like Transmigration from this one)

He was better when he was doing Aphex-influenced ambient than memowave.

You're both wrong, a Liminal Space originally just refered to areas that were meant to be purely transient like a hallway or outdoor walkway, it's a place that was not intended by its designers for you to be in for very long, and so when taken out of this context, when you're forced to look at them, they illicit an uneasy feeling. That was the original intent anyways, it then eventually just kind of evolved into shit like pool rooms and other dream scapes because another angle was the whole nostalgia thing

>>126726709
>slowing down a song
It's just this album, later releases are way better.

>>126727329
I'll die on the hill that liminal spaces are cool. Just for how comfy they are. Call me a zoomer all you want.

>>126726709
well

beats the hell out of anything ariel "january 6th" pink has made recently

that bobby johnson album was SUCH a re-hash

>>126730035

>has TDS
>has APDS
why are you like this? that track is garbage by the way, sounds like vektroid was fucking around at guitar center and decided to release the track

>>126726709
A lot of that material is itself a rehash of the type of stuff released on the Bobby J label in the 90s. Listen to Low End Lars, Five Starcle Men, Cyrus Rego, or Charlie Mcalister and you're going to hear some similarities.

It’s not 2016 anymore. It’s not cool to like trump

He made a better version of that here

Not what the current year is.

op is retarded
the ambient songs are good tho

>>126726612 (OP)
eccojams vol. 1, by OPN, liberated from the world, by new deluxe life, and 骨架的 - skeleton are much better than floral shoppe.

For me it's whitewoods https://youtu.be/oF9yHO-UUws

for some reason this one in particular clicked for me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR1jtn4QVaQ
For me most vaporwave shit tries to hard, I like this one though, it's the perfect amount of distorted/slowed elevator music that really captures that vague nostalgia that it tries to

So what if it’s not super groundbreaking. Still sounds nice to the ears.

>>126730580
But what would you do if you didn't have breakfast this morning?

I thought he retired

I still can't believe there are still people who don't "get" liminal spaces. I remeber when there was daily Liminal Space threads on /b/

>>126729872
>"You're both wrong"

you're an incoherent asshole
its a fucking empty space with an implied jumpscare

>>126726612 (OP)
Still never listened to it lol

>>126726612 (OP)
floral shoppe is one of the worst vaporwave albums of its day

>>126728884
>his
uhm yikes sweetie

>>126731492
this is a correct opinion
also midnight television

>makes the best Vaporwave, and now makes the best Ambient
>made a based funny parody of (((Oneohtrix Point Never)))
>voted Trump
>said "fuck Vaporwave" in a livestream, showing his dissatisfaction with its normie-fication
>is a zoomer

Literally /ourguy/.

>>126733772
>>"transient space" (who the fuck talks likes this)
It's what they are, there is no better way to describe them anon, it's a place (hallway, supermarket floor space.etc) that is transient, meaning they're not places meant for people to remain in for long periods of time. That's what they are. Like you're not meant to just stop and stand in the middle of an empty hallway, because it's a transient space. That's literally what the initial appeal of these spaces were, jumpscares had nothing to do with these types of spaces until zoomers got a hold of them

>>126734205
go back polfag

>>126734223
Even RYM rates his music way higher than OP, so keep seething.

>>126734244
>projection

>>126734252
You don't know what that means, so try again.

My favorite Liminal spaces are dreamscapes that look like they should be real but aren't

>>126734221
>word salad
its "transient-ness" has nothing to do with what makes it feel eerie
which is why ANY empty space works
your transient definition falls flat every time something other than that also feels liminal which is constantly
its just an empty space that makes you feel like something might jump out and grab you
its the same exact cheap trick used in every single shitty horror movie ever
its literally a generic jumpscare scene
the exact formula
which assholes like you then see as the perfect opportunity to use the word "transient" in a conversation

>>126734530
Sorry you're upset at me calling a spade a spade, but that's what the initial point of liminal spaces were, again, it wasn't until zoomers started making shit like >>126734417 that the meaning kinda shifted to "weirdly creepy and somewhat notalgic dreamscape"

>>126734530
>your transient definition falls flat every time something other than that also feels liminal which is constantly
Can you even give examples of what you mean by this? Like most people would probably agree that a empty living room wouldn't count as a real liminal space

>>126734543
oh sorry for calling bullshit on mr liminal's official liminal law from liminal headquarters
your definition is bullshit
you're a bullshitter
trying to razzle and dazzle people with a bullshit answer that can be explained easier but doesn't allow you to sprinkle words like "transient" into conversation
you should just get a hat that says the words "transient space" on it

>>126734581
thats such bullshit
living rooms are constantly used as a liminal space

>>126734629
I can smell the mildew and cigarette smoke through the screen damn

>>126734629
I guess that's a fair point, your pic reminds me of my grandparents house in Nevada on the outskirts of Vegas, to me it still represents a space I wouldn't want to be in for very long because we were never allowed upstairs when we visited and the only thing we were allowed to touch was the couch

>>126726658
Oddly enough that behavior became exhibited by every artist in the genre

>>126726761
>you now remember Iacon's attempts at injecting rock elements into Vaporwave to try and revitalize it

>>126735192
That looks like the inside of a Hotel room to be honest, you can see long blinds where there would be a sliding door leading to a blacony

>>126735232
how many times do i have to teach you this lesson old man

My sisters never had a room like this growing up, their rooms would've been full of trash and clothes all over the floor and also Spice Girls posters on the wall

NTA but I like Liminal aesthetics and I feel like it deserves a retrospective now that it's been like 5 years since the last time it was relevant

V/VM my goat
https://youtu.be/YwtLi1KCvZE?si=j1tGlIPv9HhVP2wz
is any earlier example?

>>126726612 (OP)
It's good overall but I'd say it's really only the first 2 songs that are iconic. Lisa Frank is undeniably one of the most influential songs of the 2010s regardless.

>>126726836
the one good song
https://youtu.be/Yt0QXveO4MA

I can’t believe you can’t find this album in Spotify. Of all the popular music they feature this album isn’t there, it’s baffling.

>>126736902
I met her and sold her shoes or was that Donna Summer idk
>>126726612 (OP)
It's literally just this song, that's it, one hit slowed >>126736902

Liminal spaces were at thing long before vaporwave

>>126734205
what the OPN parody you speak of?

>>126730012
Of course they are. I'm early 90's. That stuff was made by and for us. Ignore retarded animals that now infest the net. Liminal spaces and vaporwave A E S T H E T I C are based.
