Anime Boston

Whatever happened to vaporwave? And what's the deal with lo-fi hip-hop and anime GIFs? Come see how Japanese music and art morph into new subgenres!

This panel discusses the philosophy and history of weird internet musical subgenres: vaporwave, future funk, chiptune, lo-fi hip hop, etc. It includes musical and video clips, and a comment section at the end.

Saturday, 10 PM, Sheraton Fens.

Ya'll got any retrowave?

I'll see what I can do.

Hey man, that was great panel!

I just wanted to say that I incredibly appreciate this panel was a thing (particularly since a large amount of the future funk and vaporwave scene is/was based in New England), but was really bummed I had another panel conflict and wasn't able to make it. Hope this panel is put on again next year!

Ahh, curious if there is a recording/notes/song recommendations from this panel -- I had hoped to get to this but wasn't able to in time. Thanks so much!

Yes it was said there will be a tracklist posted in the forums. Is it on this thread? Am hoping to see it relatively soon!

Thanks for coming if you could, and thanks for your kind words if you couldn't. The track list is now up on a separate thread in this forum. I plan on returning next year!

Indeed, it was mentioned that a tracklist would be shared on the boards. Is it posted here? I'm hoping to catch a glimpse of it shortly! tunnel rush

Vaporwave often features Japanese imagery and aesthetics, and its lyrics often explore themes of consumerism, technology, and the passage of time.
