Well now it's not "Biden his time" anymore since you thought of it. :mad:
Anyway, re: vaporwave, I'll start you off with some of Neotic's mixes, which were my gateway:

Not all of this is strictly what you'd call "vaporwave," HOME sometimes is considered synthwave, but there's a more bittersweet nostalgic property to HOME's music that I find lacking in most synthwave, which is mostly just modern EDM with retro synths. Neotic seems to pick a lot of stuff that has a certain mood.
(A note on the concept of "Simpsonwave" since it's probably going to come up: It's not actually a genre of music. A big part of vaporwave culture is aesthetic: old clipart, the weird abstraction of 90s math textbooks, footage from old 80s/90s commercials, clips from old anime and cartoons. "Simpsonwave" was a relatively shortlived movement in which mixes or single songs were posted on Youtube with Simpsons gifs slathered in a blue filter and VHS artifacting to give it a nostalgic vibe, like watching tapes of old episodes recorded off the TV. The Simpsons is a bittersweet kind of show beneath the humor, a relic from another era that still feels relevant and relatable, so it worked well for vaporwave as an accompanying aesthetic.)

As much as I enjoy Neotic's mixes for their specific mood, if you're looking for a really good overall source of vaporwave, its many cousin microgenres (like future funk), obscure synthwave, and a dash of synthpop, you can't go wrong with SoulSearchAndDestroy on Youtube, who gives us mixes like (

Nobody wants to talk about Biden, and there's nothing to talk about even if one did. He'll be the most boring president since George HW. Mind, that's his biggest virtue right now.
There might be more to say about Kamala, but then the VP is the most useless position there is in national politics, except as grooming to run as the next president. There might be something worth talking about if that happens.
In the meantime, I'm afraid people will have to think about and tend to their own lives for a bit, those not derailed from reality anyway. Won't that be a nice change, though?

And back to boring, celebrity driven late night talk shows....
OMG - what have we done!?!?!?!?!

If Biden dies, will Harris automatically become president and the White House get renamed to Kamalot?

Don't forget that Biden will be shot before March. Within 3 weeks of his inauguration. Prediction by Trump.

That just puts a black lady in the White House. Trumpers wouldn't be able to deal. She's Biden's job security.

Such a beautiful image to wrap this package up.
(Trump's last hurrah will be remembered as Giuliani's kook presser next door to the adult book store because they sent out the address to the wrong "Four Seasons".)

you know you could have started a new thread about this instead of nesting it in this dumpster fire. I (and others here I would imagine) am totally up for yarning on about this subject, I am a huge synth/vapor wave future funk afficiando.
