@cosullivan I like it for a lot of reasons. I am a hip-hop DJ and love chopped up old samples and nostalgia, remixes. I also am heavy into making weird digital art and vaporwave is a perfect sort of medium for experimenting and working in weird memes and references. I've been getting into making a lot of vaporwavey sort of art this past few months :).
@cosullivan Great question! It's a little hard to define, but it's both a genre of electronic/sample-based music and a sort of associated art. Music: lots of chopped up samples, 80s and 90s influences, sometimes Japanese pop, sometimes hip-hop or soul mixed in.
There's also the art, which similarly has lots of 80s/90s influence, old internet imagery 
, glitch effects, pop references. 1/2
I see "vaporwave" crop up in my timeline now and then, don't know what it is. How do you define it, what does it mean to you, what attraction do you have to vaporwave?
@amylsacks @cosullivan Yes! Please do. I have a small request project that it might also be perfect for, if I could use it.
Speaking of #space, I have this amazing old star map from before 1900 that I need to scan and post one of these days, before I dice it up for a future art project.

@djamesalicious @omanreagan is on here! Also @KiranOpal, @amylsacks. I haven't spent too much time, gotta start finding friends and folks to follow new and old on here.
boost if despite hating capitalism and imperialism you still know more about politics, economics, government, international relations, and the military than the president of the United States

🐾 should start coming around more often. Twitter is shitting itself into irrelevancy. And Jack'd rather take on antifa or its supporters than nazis.

gotta get back on here more frequently. memeing on the birdsite takes the time.
@amylsacks Sounds good!
@amylsacks for sure! let me know when/where you are in spacetime, we can meet up
keep forgetting to check in and say hello on here. Spend too much time on the birbs.
@amylsacks Completely understand... I am getting pretty sick of it. So many better things to do...
