Saint Pepsi actually went to college with my brother... he received a Cease and Desist letter from Pepsi Co. and had to change his artist name do Skylar Spence
Pepsi shot themselves in the foot doing that. It was free advertising AND it wasn’t at all going to hurt their profit margins. I feel like the legal team at Pepsi is a room of idiots for this.
Listen I know your comment here is two years old, but you just solved a stupid mystery for me and my brother. We were trying to figure out why Fiona Coyne was done by Skylar AND Saint, without having any copyright issues? I didn't think they were the same guy smdh- Thank you for leaving this!!

What people don't seem to understand about Vaporwave is that it repackages the works of artists of the 80s and 90s and releases it in a way that embraces the cliches of that time. Vaporwave artists KNOW that most of their songs are just samples of other people's work, but that's the point. It's both celebrating and poking fun of that era by repackaging it's sound and looks into a product that offers a stylized, beautiful look into a forgotten age of music.
Consider this. Daft Punk does exactly the same thing, not as much in recent times, but Discovery was literally sample after sample slighty edited and repeated to make a song, maybe with a vocal thrown in, and look how much people praise it (including yours truly) Just remember that/
Granol Marsh I think it's totally fair game too, the artists of the 90s / 80s were repackaging classic funk, jazz, etc. into some fairly glossy, coked out productions that were as cliched, if not moreso than the results of the tracks presented here. This album is similar to Chicago House and Daft Punk / French House, taking the best part of a song, looping and manipulating it. Many times, if you listened to the originals, it wouldn't be as good of an experience. I recognize the talent, but I'm not going to just sit around the house and throw on a full album from Chic or Lipps, Inc.
When I heard “its saint pepsi bitch” my first reaction was, “oh wow, how did he find a sample where a person says saint pepsi?” Then I remembered ppl can record things. Smh
Do you like Saint Pepsi? His early work was a little too Vapor Wave for my tastes, but when Late Night Delight came out in’13 I think he really came into his own, comercially and artistically. The whole album has a gloomy and distant, yet familiar and soothing sound, a new sheen touch of consumer culture that really gives it a big boost. He’s been compared to Luxury Elite, but I think Pepsi has a far more dynamic, driven style to his music. In ’13 Pepsi released this: Hit Vibes, his most accomplished album. I think his undisputed masterpiece is «Cherry Pepsi», a song so catchy most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of soft drinks by Pepsi, and the importance of capitalism (and bringing your own baby), it’s also a personal statement about the artist himself. Hey Paul!
Kids listen, there's no harm in loving something without any kind of cynicism. Life is lived once and no one cares how cool you are. Get lost in the groove.
I last listened to this when I was 17-18, almost 24 now. Sends me right back to where it did years ago and is still a slapper. Hits me in the feels cause it's vaporwave. Don't sleep on anything, take your chances, make your moves, do what you want before it's too late. That's what I've taken away from this whole genre. Thankful everyday I found this.
im 23 and was also real into vaporwave when i was like 17 as well. insane to see time fly by and how things change. honestly needed to read your comment, thanks for this man i really agree with it as well.
i'm going through that phase of "discovering" this album like how you described 17-18. im 16 and ive been listening to this album 3 times a week because its my medicine through some rough days and because this is easily one of the best vaporwve/future funk albums out there. cheers to the 10 years aniversary of this album one week from now, next wednesday, cash wednesday if you will
Sadly for me I was already a full grown-up when I discovered Saint Pepsi in 2016, in my mid 30s, so no nostalgia slap for me :/ and TBH also I never stopped listening to him through the years... But I know very well that feeling when I listen first 2000s dance songs, reminding me to my first & intense summers after high school :') Another millennial

Ikr? I used to listen to this in 2017, when this stuff became mainstream and people were listening to vaporware and future funk ironically, and man it hits a nostalgic spot in my heart so hard. Funny thing a genre about nostalgia can become nostalgic itself
I know its 4 years too late but someone made an extended version on soundcloud! Listen to Saint Pepsi - Hit Vibes (Rich Cullen Edit) by Rich Cullen on #SoundCloud soundcloud.com/richcullen/saint-pepsi-hit-vibes-rhicelt-edit
The main song that sounds too similar to the source is better/make it better. It’s definitely been changed, but the base song is just too intact (in my opinion of course, I have no idea on how music rules go)
inchoale Saint Pepsi embodies going out onto the beach in the mid 90's. A time of Seinfeld, In a land, a land before time! In a time before "Smart" phones, In a time before Facebook, Before Myspace before Twitter and Twatter. A better time in a better economy. Where the wars were wagged discretely and without the public noticing. A time where communism had fallen and then McDonald's reached Russia and they went ballistic. Fucking McDonalds Murica!!
Here's the samples I know of for the album: Hit Vibes - Johnny Bristol - Wouldn't Change a Thing Have Faith - The Live Band - A Chance for Hope Better - The Whispers - I Can Make it Better Cherry Pepsi - Sister Sledge - B.Y.O.B. Skylar Spence - Tatsuro Yamashita - Love Talkin' (Honey It's You) Vocal samples in the album are from Everyone Says I Love You
If anyone saw a future in these remixes, it was Saint Pepsi. He was sampling City Pop before the Plastic Love craze in 2018. What a prophet this DJ is.
Agree, This album is a kickstart of Future Funk scene we known today, and that Keats//Collective has many great source of future funk I still listen until today
Real talk, I wish practically every song was 2 or 3 minutes longer (and I'm not talking just extended versions). Every time a song ends I'm like, "No please, I need MOOOORE of all that".
Maybe Macintosh Plus, talking about progression, complexity, metric changes and tempo, etc. But there are a lot of VW artists that have those characteristics.
i don't care if vaporwave is considered a genre or not or whatever else people think it is. But to me vaporwave has given me the most beautiful, hypnotic and inspirational sounds ever to be heard by my ears.. it has given me more than a normal genre can ever hope for and i will keep listening to it and it will remain my favorite genre. L O N G L I V E A E S T H E T H I C S
This is my favorite album of all time, period. I recommend it whenever I get the chance. I've shown it to people who don't ever listen to vaporwave or future funk, and they still enjoy it. If you want to get a taste of who I am, this is it. Happy and groovy most of the time, calmer and chill sometimes, and sometimes, like all human beings, sad, reflective, and melancholy. Many people from older generations are mad that newer generations will never listen to the disco and funk of the past. They may have been right in a sense, but Hit Vibes has introduced a whole new group to these sounds. It introduced newer generations to sounds they may have never heard without it. Some people may disagree, but Hit Vibes is Saint Pepsi's strongest, smoothest, and most professional release under the moniker. I proudly wave Hit Vibes as my anthem, my love, my soul. It's a timeless classic that will never get old, still discovering new things with every listen. If you're ever feeling down, no matter who you are, put this album on, crack open a Pepsi, and dance the sadness away.
Cherry Pepsi instantly makes me wish i could transport to the late 80s with a few friends down a main street near a mall, cruising without a care with some fresh pizza in the backseat, heading out to a mountain to gaze at the stars.
+Dream Extracter The 80s werent like that only the romance styles ones were. We only got pizza sometimes. It was too expensive to tour the town with and even then it was dinner not snacks. We didnt snack in the 80s with full pizzas.
+Dream Extracter you can still do that you know, I mean if you have friends, a car, pizza and mountains nearby... and the cruising without a care part, the careless part is all psychological so that one you have to figure out yourself.
As I revisited this lovely album once more I have noticed that the best song (from my perspective) is Cherry Pepsi. I like every other song, but Cherry Pepsi has a very interesting groove from the other songs that I enjoy a lot.
You might like this movie then. That track was used in it. I'll just assume your smart enough to work out what your watching facebook.com/nesmangajackzoneentertainment/videos/1107091226005894/
its hard looking back at this album, before her passing, middle and high school this was me and my fiancé's album. Outside of everything personal, there will never be this kind of music ever again. It was an optimistic time where the freedom of reimagination could exist into something that generations that were born decades after the source material could enjoy it for the time that it existed.
Tbh I listen to vaporwave due to the fact it brings this nostalgic feeling from the 80s, even tho I was wasn't born in the 80s this false nostalgia makes me feel so amazing
I love vaporwave. It just makes me forget the bad days when I'm in bed listening to it late at night. I'm so glad I was born in this generation, future generations just won't understand how beautiful internet was from 2003-2013.
@marvin19966 A decade, just for convenience? I miss the old days in the late '90, early '00 when "surfing" the internet made me feel like an explorer, a true "internaut". Vaporwave reminds me of those sensations.
It's ironic, the fact that vaporwave is music based off the idea that we feel nostalgic about a generation that we haven't lived in...the 80's. I can only imagine to future, when people are nostalgic about our generation. And we will be like "Wasn't even all that". Its always like that for every generation.
I dropped acid and listened to this album once and I've never been able to replicate the experience since. It was the purest euphoria I have ever experienced.
A lot of arguing about whether sampling and such constitutes a 'real' album... You can hear it right? It's an album. Breathing new life into something and packaging it as a new product is still a new product. Art is art and music is music, probably best not to throw around lazy ideas about whether something 'deserves' praise and focus on whether you enjoy it and make that the happiness that keeps you digging for new music.
I would love anyone who thinks sampling is lazy to try and make an album comprised entirely from samples. Starting from scratch is a million times easier then combining hundreds of different ideas and having them sound cohesive.
Today,31th of May 2023,mark the 10th anniversary of HIT VIBES! This album was one of the most impactfull in the futurefunk landscape in my opinion,so happy anniversary!
Listen up vaporwave/future funk fans. It is officially Summer '16. We all know that Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president, many believe that he is indirectly responsible for pioneering the vaporwave movement of 55 B.C. If you are new and are thinking about telling everyone that you enjoy vaporwave unironically you are a 4 years too late. The only way to redeeming yourself is to "Ironically" unironically like vaporwave (while at the same time unironically ironically like it unironically) and that should reverse any long term effects. Thank you for your compliance. - Meme Police - 'Officer Fishbone' - Badge Number: '1337'
I always come back to this, Vaporwave is still one of the most niche music genres to talk about and many say that it has no originality due to it being just mixing others work, yet Hiphop, R&B, Neosoul, and Pop get a pass from the masses. Sampling is an art and the difference in between bad sampling and good sampling is like store bought cookies to your Grandmother's homemade cookies, this album is the homade kind.
It's because French House ( The genre daft punk does )sounds a lot like Future Funk, except isntead of sampling a bit on a song and looping it, Future Funk is more vaporwavier and generally uses alot more of the song
BATEMAN: Yes, it is. In '87, SAINT PEPSI released this; Hit Vibes, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Cherry Pepsi". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of consumerism and the importance of brands. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey, Paul!
Ahh, These sounds remind me when I was a old Japanese yakuza boss, driving around late at night during the 80's. Now and days I'm just a young white man.
Fifty years ago I was a mini skinny kid in Taiwan I walked 10 miles to school so I left my house at dawn. Now, I drive in Houston, Texas in a Lexus sedan and when I ride inside, I can be the weatherman. But at home, I'm in the backyard, in the washroom, or the kitchen mowing grass and drying clothes, or scaling fish and pulling chicken bones. But I'm loyal as a lifetime money-back guarantee even if you haven't shaved your legs since '83.
This is a masterpiece. A five-star work of art on St Pepsi's behalf. Albums like these are of the best thing about music. These rare gems that cater to those with a more refined sense of entertainment. BRAVO!
I just discovered this album and it has changed my life. The bass lines are so amazing, everything is on point yet technically its a bunch of mixed samples of older songs with beautiful segues. It is like a series of nostalgic montages with a mind altering twist to it all that makes it stick in one's memory warmly and fondly. I hope billions more people hear this. We should broadcast this album into space at every theoretically habitable planet in hopes they hear this as well, who or whatever they may be.
This record is so much more than a lot of people think it is. Yes, it's vaporware/future funk, but from a musician's standpoint, this album grooves hard. Prom King also vibes hard. Both may have different vibes, but either way, he's such a great artist. I'd collaborate with him in a minute if I was able to. His production choices are amazingly on point. Whether it's Saint Pepsi or Skylar Spence, I know the music is going to feel good and vibe hard.
+Larry Appleton Just think, people who were born when this came out are LITERALLY TWO-YEAR-OLDS NOW HOLY SHIT FEEL FUCKING OLD YET #LEBORNINLEWRONGLEGENERATION
im a 4 year old toddler and i can truly say that this is the best music i have ever heard. this is the peak. they don't make them like how they used to. i can't listen to anything else.
Remember listening to this when I found out about Keats Collective at like 15, 16. How time flies. And I never understood loving vaporwave ironically. What's not to love, it's so fuxking good lol
Cheers to a wonderful 10 years! Cannot comprehend how much this album means to me. Literally changed the way I view music and the art of sampling, simply timeless. Happy Hit Vibes everyone!! 💛

If there's going to be a vaporwave artist called Saint Pepsi, we need one who calls themself Coke Francis.

^yeah, really... been trying to say that for months now :P
you mean like 90's hip-hop did with 70's and 80's black music? not so revolutionary, but still dope chill tunes
Consider this.
Daft Punk does exactly the same thing, not as much in recent times, but Discovery was literally sample after sample slighty edited and repeated to make a song, maybe with a vocal thrown in, and look how much people praise it (including yours truly)
Just remember that/
So, judging from how this sounds, Armand Van Helden did "vaporwave" over 10 years ago?
Granol Marsh I think it's totally fair game too, the artists of the 90s / 80s were repackaging classic funk, jazz, etc. into some fairly glossy, coked out productions that were as cliched, if not moreso than the results of the tracks presented here.

Do you like Saint Pepsi?

Cherry Pepsi instantly makes me wish i could transport to the late 80s with a few friends down a main street near a mall, cruising without a care with some fresh pizza in the backseat, heading out to a mountain to gaze at the stars.
Bruh the visuals
Bruh Bruh, That was very
A E S T H E T I C
+Dream Extracter The 80s werent like that only the romance styles ones were. We only got pizza sometimes. It was too expensive to tour the town with and even then it was dinner not snacks. We didnt snack in the 80s with full pizzas.
+Dream Extracter you can still do that you know, I mean if you have friends, a car, pizza and mountains nearby... and the cruising without a care part, the careless part is all psychological so that one you have to figure out yourself.
+Dream Extracter you, my man, have inspired me. this sounds so fantastic. time to find some friends!
As I revisited this lovely album once more I have noticed that the best song (from my perspective) is Cherry Pepsi. I like every other song, but Cherry Pepsi has a very interesting groove from the other songs that I enjoy a lot.
Agreed!
You might like this movie then. That track was used in it. I'll just assume your smart enough to work out what your watching facebook.com/nesmangajackzoneentertainment/videos/1107091226005894/

its hard looking back at this album, before her passing, middle and high school this was me and my fiancé's album. Outside of everything personal, there will never be this kind of music ever again. It was an optimistic time where the freedom of reimagination could exist into something that generations that were born decades after the source material could enjoy it for the time that it existed.
dude i dont even know how many times ive been on this vid i swear i cant get over it.
Just keep listening.
Love the album artwork, looks like something you would see on a popcorn bucket from Regal Cinemas.

This album hit my ears right in the g-spot.

Tbh I listen to vaporwave due to the fact it brings this nostalgic feeling from the 80s, even tho I was wasn't born in the 80s this false nostalgia makes me feel so amazing
I used to listen to this regularly 5 years ago. Now I returned to listen to it again, and the nostalgic feel is surreally enhanced. Damn, good times.
@@the-sillycate Enough time has passed that Vaporwave is unironically nostalgic
this guy is the best fucking Vaporwave producer out there.
Reminds me of Discovery-era Daft Punk.
+TechnicLePanther Yep
+TechnicLePanther Homework, even
+Monique Neptune no
whatever
yeah daft punk was the first vaporwave artist out there if u think about it, with all those links to japanese culture and 80s samples
I love vaporwave. It just makes me forget the bad days when I'm in bed listening to it late at night. I'm so glad I was born in this generation, future generations just won't understand how beautiful internet was from 2003-2013.
Why to 2013?
@marvin19966 A decade, just for convenience?
I miss the old days in the late '90, early '00 when "surfing" the internet made me feel like an explorer, a true "internaut". Vaporwave reminds me of those sensations.
2000-2010 was kinda the peak of the internet.
It's ironic, the fact that vaporwave is music based off the idea that we feel nostalgic about a generation that we haven't lived in...the 80's. I can only imagine to future, when people are nostalgic about our generation. And we will be like "Wasn't even all that". Its always like that for every generation.
Mr Duck you understand
i unironically enjoy this album
Who doesn't?
+Spaceman Bassman I actually really like shit like this
can just macintoshplus just be a meme and not the whole genre
the genres dead lol
dumbass kids shared this shit on fb and it got popular and now everbofy thinks they know what vaporwave is its dead jim.
***** but its never been more alive
I dropped acid and listened to this album once and I've never been able to replicate the experience since. It was the purest euphoria I have ever experienced.
foxking39 I would go back to acid.
+foxking39 0,5 speed bro
+foxking39 just mainline some pure liquid DMT and listen to birdy nam nam parachute endings broh. You'll find a whole new dragon to chase.
+foxking39 The purest euphoria since I became an atheist
+foxking39 Hey guys, i do drugs! im cool!!!!!!!
This was my jam when I was out fucking around in Japan and it was brand new. Now it's like a sort of weird double nostalgia.
nice
A lot of arguing about whether sampling and such constitutes a 'real' album... You can hear it right? It's an album. Breathing new life into something and packaging it as a new product is still a new product. Art is art and music is music, probably best not to throw around lazy ideas about whether something 'deserves' praise and focus on whether you enjoy it and make that the happiness that keeps you digging for new music.
old never sounded so new
Edit: nvm i screwed up x9000
I would love anyone who thinks sampling is lazy to try and make an album comprised entirely from samples. Starting from scratch is a million times easier then combining hundreds of different ideas and having them sound cohesive.
The love that I feel while listening this album is insane.
Today,31th of May 2023,mark the 10th anniversary of HIT VIBES! This album was one of the most impactfull in the futurefunk landscape in my opinion,so happy anniversary!
This is the future of the past
Listen up vaporwave/future funk fans. It is officially Summer '16. We all know that Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president, many believe that he is indirectly responsible for pioneering the vaporwave movement of 55 B.C. If you are new and are thinking about telling everyone that you enjoy vaporwave unironically you are a 4 years too late. The only way to redeeming yourself is to "Ironically" unironically like vaporwave (while at the same time unironically ironically like it unironically) and that should reverse any long term effects.
Thank you for your compliance.

Thanks phonebone
FukU2222 I can assure you, this is the original.
But Officer Ben Dover told me that I just had to unironically like vaporwave...
I always come back to this, Vaporwave is still one of the most niche music genres to talk about and many say that it has no originality due to it being just mixing others work, yet Hiphop, R&B, Neosoul, and Pop get a pass from the masses. Sampling is an art and the difference in between bad sampling and good sampling is like store bought cookies to your Grandmother's homemade cookies, this album is the homade kind.
I bet Daft Punk listens to this.
Actually these sounds are a lot like Le Knight Club etc.
I hope
Discovery Vibes
This aged (good/bad.)
It's because French House ( The genre daft punk does )sounds a lot like Future Funk, except isntead of sampling a bit on a song and looping it, Future Funk is more vaporwavier and generally uses alot more of the song
BATEMAN: Yes, it is. In '87, SAINT PEPSI released this; Hit Vibes, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Cherry Pepsi". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of consumerism and the importance of brands. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey, Paul!
No doubt this is one of the best albums of the 2010's
This album is as such of importance for the Vaporwave as the Album "a kind of magic" is for Hard Rock.
Someone said it best: this album is what it feels like to fall in love. Explains all emotions in all ways.
Ahh, These sounds remind me when I was a old Japanese yakuza boss, driving around late at night during the 80's. Now and days I'm just a young white man.
Fifty years ago I was a mini skinny kid in Taiwan
I walked 10 miles to school so I left my house at dawn.
Now, I drive in Houston, Texas in a Lexus sedan
and when I ride inside, I can be the weatherman.
But at home, I'm in the backyard,
in the washroom, or the kitchen
mowing grass and drying clothes, or scaling fish and pulling chicken bones.
But I'm loyal as a lifetime money-back guarantee
even if you haven't shaved your legs since '83.
What was you driving in the late 80's. I must know. Please. Lol
@@7EEVEE How did we both watch the same video friend
Time flies huh
gayest comment of all time
Near a decade, and I'm 100% convinced the blossoming of steampunk-jazz into vaporwave and alt-hop really began right around here
Auditory crack
My man
Is that bad?
Best fr*cking youtuber ever
what are you doing here ;D
I wish Reagan's CIA sold this to Black neighbourhoods in the 1980s
This album is 10 years old today (as of 31st May 2023), how time flies
This is a masterpiece. A five-star work of art on St Pepsi's behalf. Albums like these are of the best thing about music. These rare gems that cater to those with a more refined sense of entertainment. BRAVO!
I just discovered this album and it has changed my life. The bass lines are so amazing, everything is on point yet technically its a bunch of mixed samples of older songs with beautiful segues. It is like a series of nostalgic montages with a mind altering twist to it all that makes it stick in one's memory warmly and fondly. I hope billions more people hear this. We should broadcast this album into space at every theoretically habitable planet in hopes they hear this as well, who or whatever they may be.
I did a dance routine at my wedding for my wife to the song "Better". Crazy good tune.
There's no words to explain how much I love this album
the definition of groovy

This was the best thing I found this year. I listen to this E V E R Y D A Y. I know I'm super late in the party, but it's still amazing!
God Bless YT Comments it’s never to late to enjoy the funk
not as late as me :(
Is never late to wait for a brighter future
This record is so much more than a lot of people think it is. Yes, it's vaporware/future funk, but from a musician's standpoint, this album grooves hard. Prom King also vibes hard. Both may have different vibes, but either way, he's such a great artist. I'd collaborate with him in a minute if I was able to. His production choices are amazingly on point. Whether it's Saint Pepsi or Skylar Spence, I know the music is going to feel good and vibe hard.

Off The Air is my shit.
well fucking played brother man
Off the air used to give me nightmares when it first happened. Just remembering it gives me chills.....
This is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I’ll listen to it every now and then and still get blown away by the work of Skylar Spence.
Same :))
This album is still a revelation all these years later
im a 4 year old toddler and i can truly say that this is the best music i have ever heard. this is the peak. they don't make them like how they used to. i can't listen to anything else.
i made myself laugh ok
Doctor: you've only got 36 minutes and 19 seconds to live...
Me: *plays this*
i need friends who appreciate vaporwave
Me too. It's hard to find in my age bracket.
i understand you, i'm latin and all my friends and partners are listening to some commercial shit called "Bad Bunny"

Remember listening to this when I found out about Keats Collective at like 15, 16. How time flies. And I never understood loving vaporwave ironically.
What's not to love, it's so fuxking good lol
This is a defining album of the 2010s. Its scary its almost 10 years old.
10 years ago feels like yesterday, all the love
5 years later, and this is still one of my favorite Vaporwave/Future Funk albums out there!! Happy 5 years Hit Vibes.
I fell asleep listening to this during a long car ride. It was the best nap I've ever had.
Just dancing in my room with the purple led lights on
I swear I always come back to album once a month and doesn't seem to get old.
You haven't lived until you've bounced downtown Nagoya at supersonic speed to "Strawberry Lemonade" in a thick overcast...
Cherry Pepsi is a masterpiece
I hope you have something great to wear tonight cause we're going to a party.
I wanna introduce you to someone.

*changes to next song and*
IT'S SAINT PEPSI BITCH!
And it feels, and it feels so good! So good yeah... it feels so good, good, good, good, good! So good! So good! So good! Hey, wooah...
Yeah I might have friends!
27:30 Getting some of those nice Daft Punk vibes. Easily my fav track in this album, I give it 10 Pepsis outta 10
I keep coming back to this album-and it never gets old.
was that a sample of the toad scream from mario kart 64 at the start of the third song
Please get back to Mario Kart 8.
the sampled song is called "I can make it better" by the whispers
It's actually from the start of James Brown's There It Is.
i was hit by a wall of nostalgia and smiled so hard because of how well that obnoxious yelling of his worked in something other than mario kart lol
Well Ryan (not me, the DJ) was known for putting Mario Kart 64 sound effects in his songs. I assume that's one of them.
Where's Pope Coke?
Cheers to a wonderful 10 years!
Cannot comprehend how much this album means to me. Literally changed the way I view music and the art of sampling, simply timeless. Happy Hit Vibes everyone!! 💛
I don't really consider this Vaporwave personally. It holds more in common with typical Plunderphonics. Think "Since I Left You".
Yeah, I agree. It seems like less of a meme and more just something completely in its own category
