Abstract

The object of the research is Vaporwave. It emerged as a micro-genre of electronic music in the early 2010s, being created from online communities and forums. Using exaggerated distortions, bass sound, and repetitive rhythms, it creates a sensation of displacement from reality. Adding this set of techniques to the musical references of the sound that is remixed we have that Vaporwave is something that constantly updates itself, always based on notions of nostalgia and "uncoupling" from reality. The experience of fruition of these cultural objects is precisely to experience and transit through these spaces of remembrance, reverberation, and temporal plasticity.
