Here’s a subgenre of vaporwave that I haven’t heard in a while. FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY- NOT FOR RESALE by Video Shoppe (freshly out on Junk Maker Sounds) is part of the loosely-defined category of “VHS pop”, which considers vaporwave music with a degraded VHS-tape aesthetic that often incorporates samples that one would imagine to find on an infomercial or […]
