Vaporwave

The Vaporwave aesthetic

Vaporwave blends 80s/90s nostalgia with surreal, dreamlike imagery. Think Greek statues, old Windows interfaces, Japanese text, VHS glitch effects, palm trees, empty malls. Colors are soft pastels — pink, cyan, lavender, coral. The mood is melancholic yet comforting, ironic yet sincere. Consumer culture made beautiful and strange.
