PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING: CONTAINS BRIGHT FLASHING COLOURS

[radi0activec0smos]

Potential photosensitivity warning? Fast movement warning at least

Me when I get a little silly with seeing Hopeful Steward in the parade

I am absolutely in love with the parade. So much. I hope it sticks around even after the event is over when you go to the event area via cape again because oh moi goodnith.

Transformers: Earthspark was doing great at not having flashing lights, until Skywarp showed up. She teleports with neon red lightning effects that are excessively and entirely unecessarily strobing. boo.

(PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING)

check out the game "Yar's Revenge". the way this game looks and sounds is fucking insane.

the sound design feels extremely sinister and menacing to me, with that low hum in the background the entire time. it kind of reminds me of "Sinistar" in that way. also the fact that the explosion sound plays 2&1/2 times, was probably an oversight or technical limitation but it adds an extra strangeness factor. the eye-bleeding rainbow explosion is also incredible. I understand the rumors about Polybius now, like how did games like this not turn gen x into a bunch of aliens or something?

that rainbow colored static is the game's code itself, in what seems to me like intentional glitch art, by using the XOR operator to create the unique scrolling pattern!

do you like vaporwave? if so, some of your favs? if not, why not?

Technically yes, but I try to not really engage with vaporwave as a genre or aesthetic because I feel like viewing it that way can negatively impact the way I view an actual work. Like I dont want to listen to something and think "this is good for vaporwave" or something, yknow, I wanna take stuff on its own merits. That being said I do enjoy what would be considered the "vaporwave sound" and if you watch my streams im very obviously vaporwave/webcore/y2k/etc. adjacent in visual style (tho i think the "outrun" branch kinda sucks and needs to go away.)

The first thing I heard that introduced me to that type of sound was "Flowers" by bEEdEEgEE ft. Lovefoxxx and is still something I come back to. (Photosensitivity warning btw)

"Vaporwave" wasnt well known as a term yet, so I just knew this particular song hit different at the time.

Then obviously Floral Shoppe hit, which I still think is good even if it has a lot of baggage associated with it nowdays (effectively created the "genre" and "aesthetic" elements that got overused/misunderstood/etc.) At that point I would probably have said I was a fan, even though I really didn't engage with the scene that much. As such, idk who all turned out to be dirtbags so I'm not gonna vouch for any of them as people except Vektroid who, ironically, I met as a fellow vtuber rather than through her music, still kinda baffled we're mutuals tbh lol.

I think I mostly just listened to Far Side Virtual, A Heart Full of Love, The occasional PrismCorp, I've enjoyed what I've heard of Windows96 Also enjoyed the rare "can we make this a thing?" stuff like this Especia track, and honestly just a bunch of shit that appeared on my youtube that is long forgotten.

Over time I started to listen to more Future Funk than Vaporwave because of the Artzie Music youtube channel. Some songs I would actually go back to are:

After listening to some of the stuff in my youtube likes from however many years ago, there absolutely was a lot of "this is good for what it is" type of stuff that I don't think I would listen to again, so I'm just sharing the stuff that I think holds up.

Honorable "Maybe not really Vaporwave but occupies the same brain space" Mentions:

The work of Isaac Delusion, The work of Princess Chelsea, in particular No Church On Sunday & Is It All Okay, The work of Yeule, in particular Pretty Bones & Pixel Affection The work of Gang Gang Dance (a member of which is bEEdEEgEE)

And of course the "City Pop was a thing???" era of vaporwave/futurefunk that gave us stuff like Plastic Love (I dont even need to link it, you know.) Fantasy, I Love You So, Telephone Number, Glass No Sogen, etc.

---

Even with all its baggage and for-better-or-worse genre trappings, I think the Vaporwave Era was really inspiring, having hundreds of people who all were taken up in the frenzy and just made shit. Looking back at some of this stuff really makes me wish I had the knowledge and drive to get back* into music. Maybe someday.

PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING - Strobing lights, mostly in the beginning during their entrances which are over at around 1:30 in, but there is also flash photography throughout

Here's a fan video of highlights from Kamaitachi (now Hiromu Takahashi) vs Dragon Lee, June 14th 2015.

This was about a year and a half after Dragon Lee's debut, and about 5 years after Hiromu's. There are certain spots here that these two would go on to repeat in their later matches, but what really stands out to me is how intense these two are going for a pretty small crowd. (TWO dives onto concrete? And the Phoenix-Plex finish for the third fall?)

Watching this, I get the feeling that they were doing all this half for themselves and each other, not the crowd.

Not sure if anyone will see this but if you plan on watching Melanie Martinez’s new MV for VOID please be aware it has lots of really intense flashing through pretty much the entire video!

I’m not personally photosensitive in any serious way other than it having the potential to cause migraines, but I still wanted to spread this info for the safety of any others this could effect more seriously!!

Hey this is a bad glitch to have @staff @support !!!!! My app just FROZE and did this. What the hell

[catgirltail]

This is a good one that touches a bit on trans-philosophy. I'm personally not looking forward to the idea of having this same conversation with someone. Weather we see ourselves as always a boy or girl differs from person to person. Our experiences are unique. Not everyone understands that.
