It seems retroactively worse and worse by the day because the field of focus slowly narrows. When it was in its heyday, it had many different styles and a lot of people experimenting with it. Music, art, style, even distribution differed for each artist. You knew it wasn't going to become some real genre but it was entertaining.
Then the innovators left and the only ones left were Mac+ clones and everyone concluded that vaporwave was dead.
Then the memers latched on and held up Mac+ like it was the fucking Holy Bible.
Now you're hard pressed to hear anything but that 420 song from it, the word AESTHETICS (they don't even bother with full width text which ruins the whole point), and pictures that rip off the album art.

It's a shame nobody ran with ECO VIRTUAL's style. Reminds me of the Weather Channel back in the day when they did nothing but show the forecast.
