Vaporwave is a visual and musical movement that combines early internet imagery, '80s and '90s nostalgia, and a fascination with consumer culture, often characterized by its use of classical sculpture, neon colors, and cybernetic motifs. Vaporwave is a critique and celebration of consumerist society, technology, and popular culture, often through an ironic use of dated internet graphics and early computer paraphernalia. It's known for its distinctive palette of purples, pinks, and blues, and often features Greek statues, palm trees, and low-resolution 3D renditions that evoke a sense of nostalgia.
