come discuss something on /mu/ with me real quick

[Corpsey]

I didn't realise it was designed to make your brain feel sick, to actively attack and disintegrate your soul

 

[Corpsey]

I like it now more that I know its supposed to be unpleasant

 

[Corpsey]

The things you were saying were actually quite clever @luka

 

[shiels]

Boards of canada were proto vapourwave with the corporate jingles, childhood nostalgia cast against something vast and sinister. It feels partly about the desire for the comforts of consumer culture freed from competition and status, away from sight, and work and having to do other stuff we have to do

Now listening to this playlist instead, made by @other_life themselves!

I thought it was some sort of ambient background music but it seems more like actively unpleasant invasive music that makes you want to hurl your computer into a reservoir

 

[shiels]

'disembodied ache'

 

[DLaurent]

On the sounding like video game soundtracks I don't see that as the point of Vaporwave but...

Mr Benn never drove, he transformed

 

[luka]

[Corpsey]

it's good pallet cleansing music

i discuss this in detail in The Last Resort

Unreal City. Magnetic City. Pandemonium.

Why is your name scratched into the paint?

The man hanging from the first floor window to smoke a cigarette nods as you meet his eye and even the cat sprawled on the warm doorstep looks up in acknowledgement as you pass.

When did we come here not in waking, no,
not in waking life. When did we intrude on our own future? Breathing lead in the
heavy air, all of us. As children, on the rubbish tips, in the crumpled metal, in the broken toys, all of us, holding the doll with missing eyes.

[WashYourHands]

A bit like

I don't like that that post has now got about 7 laughing likes cos it looks like I'm bullying luka and craner.

When in fact i'm punching up, a man of the people
