As a Japanese, first I discovered these kind of songs was when my classmate (who was an American exchange student) asked me if I was familiar with the commercials on these videos. Funny enough, I asked who was the artist singing and he said it was a guy mashing up old songs and beats. I got curious and we went down to a rabbit hole of artists doing the same kind of music like this. Its really amazing. I enjoyed this kind of music genre now and it’s really cool to see them utilize older Japanese commercials to visualize the kind of music they created.

These vaporwave songs are resemblances of the 1980-90s eras where people were enjoying carefree life without worries, particularly it was the time where everyone got access to goods and exotic technology from Japan. At that time, some people in the US were worried that the Japanese would take over the world by buying out American corporations (proto-economic globalization), but it all ended when the Japanese stock market crashed in the early 1990s. Fast forward to the late 1990s, people still had this carefree feeling but it also ended when the planes hit the twin towers. 9/11 did not just end the feeling we once had, but it also ended the future of a utopian electric interconnected world. Now watching these videos, it's kinda nostalgic for me because I grew up seeing these sorts of blurry commercials with reverb sounds. it's like a future-past.
I am 55 years old and grew up abroad in Japan. I remember seeing alot of these ads on the TV screens in the windows of the shops as I passed by. It's amazing to see the young generation repurpose such a specific memory in the form of this beautiful art. God Bless!
@@dasit6034 But for those of us who weren't alive yet to actually experience those days, the nostalgia is artificial (Or it was before the song became a decade old). And that nostalgia for a time we didn't live in is a staple of vaporwave for many
I thought "artificial nostalgia" was perfect. The artists creating *-wave music were born 1990 or later.. It's "artificial" because you feel nostalgic despite not recognizing the exact samples or commercials.
Back in 2016, when I listened to vaporwave I used to feel nostalgic for a time I was never alive for. Now in 2021, listening to vaporwave makes me feel nostalgic for 2016. Crazy how life slowly but surely assigns meaning to itself.
Nostalgia man. Nothing like that first time. That's why a lot of us pine for the 80s and 90s and 00s so much, we're trying to recapture that initial feeling. They really were better times.
Who else gets a really great feel-good feeling while listening and watching the music videos for vapor wave, there's always something happening in the video that makes you smile, it's amazing.
It’s so bizarre yet it makes so much sense, that an artist from Brooklyn can make a song, then a guy completely unknown can make a video of old Japanese commercials and combine the two to make piece of art. With an aesthetic that we all can enjoy an atmosphere that makes us feel good. All deriving from promising commercials and good jams sampled from an 80s track called pillow talking. So simple it all really is but that’s where it gets complex. Absolutely amazing I’ll always come back to this something like this. It is An Art
Hace casi 7 años en los cuales vuelvo a ver el mismo video y el mismo artista. También hay un vídeo parecido llamado Cherry Pepsi de saint Pepsi. El sentimiento de nostalgia de una época que no he vivido
@@Antonio-y9c2n the lustt - pillow talk song is not the original either, it is a cover of slyvia robinson's pillow talk. th-cam.com/video/NA2X1040_gY/w-d-xo.html
ariixxrose Right? Back in 2013-2015 I was nostalgic for an era I had never really known. Now I listen to this and I'm nostalgic for that actual time when I first found it. The human condition is strange.
i feel like i am slowly going to the to the bottom of a bottomless pool of memorys and as i go down i see them all in the water, and slowly being wrapped arround by the darkness of the pool, and it get darker, and darker, and you know the is a bottom but is seem like there isnt but you are still going down like it seem forever but you never know. nobody never knows.
The first time you watch this video, you find yourself thinking; "well, this is pretty fucking weird, but i kinda like it". And then, when you watch it for the second time, you're like; "something about this video gives me a feeling i've never felt before. I can't explain it very well, but it's very heartwarming and nostalgic" and then you're hooked, you'll keep coming back to it
A lot of Saint Pepsi's music ( and a lot of other vaporwave/future funk tracks) combined with the videos always give off a carefree and slightly nostalgic vibe. It's just people having fun. Listening to these songs make you want to live in a permanently dark city with the mesmerising flash of neon packing the scenery. They make you think about romance and business, giant skyscrapers, summer beach resorts, and video games, movies, TV and books and arcades and they make you think about being free and not having a care in the world. Have fun, baby!

Man, I was so depressed while I was in college back in 2013. Private Caller always cheered me up those late nights alone in the dark finishing reports/essays. And now having a career, when I'm down I still put this on to get me though. Forever miss the vaporware genre at its height.
I'm glad Private Caller was able to bring you some comfort during those tough times in college. It's amazing how music can have such a powerful impact on our emotions and help us through difficult moments. Vaporware was definitely a unique and influential genre, and it's great that you can still turn to it for support when you need it. Keep listening and finding comfort in the music that speaks to you.
GEretarded // If you're referring to the new animes with the exaggerations, edgy characters (talking with eyes closed/side ways and chin down, bringing his/her katana everywhere, irrelevant western names and other crappy bullshit they consider to make their characters look good), "fan service" and cartoon physics, then we're cool. Hayao Miyuzaki's movies are fucking amazing.

I first discovered this song in summer 2016, life was good and I had this jam on repeat. I didn't know it at the time but it was a truly magical time. I revisit this jam every now and then and just wish I could go back.
Dude, first time I heard that Macintosh Plus song I felt really scared for some reason but safe because of a nostalgia spark. It was pretty weird. After listening to it every now and then I felt a bit happy and safe. I think about my childhood often now. I miss it.
I remember when I found this song, I didn't want to share with anyone because I thought they'd think I'm crazy or insane. I didn't want to tell anyone about Vaporwave. But now that I look back at this video, 3 million + views, how big Saint Pepsi has gotten, how deep Vaporwave has evolved. I never felt so indifferent before. Thanks, everyone, for listening to this stuff and calling it "music". Because without you, I don't think I've ever grown out of my shell. I can't think of a cool way to send this off. -Dave
@@Thattgirl6789 its always a kind of spooky thing to think abt since these commercials r just passing moments in their lives and we dont kno who these ppl r yet the whole world saw them once
This song is almost 10 years old, I remember listening to this thing way back. Honestly the best word to describe Saint Pepsi’s music is timeless. Good luck Saint Pepsi/Skylar Spence in future albums and projects!❤
Ahh old school days. Before the materialistic throw away society. Where self image is everything, "To them" and more important then doing right by other's..Fuck the new world
RFKFANTS67 Don't romanticize the past. There are good people today, and there are shitty people today. Same as it was in the 80s, the 70s, the 60s, etc. Nothing new under the sun. You only remember the good parts of yesteryear.
Exactly my dude. Nothing new under the sun, I like that phrase. It's all about finding your place. People in the 70s thought they got the same bum deal that we think we got when they looked back on the 60s, but just like us, they were only seeing the best parts with their rosy tinted glasses. All about finding your place. All about leaving pretentious comments on youtube too, but that's my place.

These videos always get me sad because I know when I look at these people they’re probably like 40-50 or something now. They just seem so young and alive here and it’s all just a memory now. Gets me in my feels.
This is the fucked up reality... been trying to accept this reality since early 20’s... it was really hard turning 30 knowing im one step closer... meanwhile seeing my mom knowing that shes much closer to the finish line than i am knowing as a woman she feels this exact same way seeing her only 30 year old daughter😭😭😭😭😭 Life is soooo fucked up😭😭😭😭
Feeling this on vaporwave make me also realize how many ppl were probably snorting cocaine while listening to this... Its random but lets just fucking admit... this is very strong cocaine snorting music... that why the experience listening to it feels so strong😂😂😂
Saint Pepsi really elevated the genre to a new level. I respect them so much for being original with their vaporwave remixes of songs by actually creating music and not just slowing them down.
Saint Pepsi, also known as Skylar Spence, is definitely a standout in the vaporwave genre. Their approach to creating music that is engaging, energetic, and original within the genre is truly impressive. By infusing their own unique style and creativity into their remixes, they have set themselves apart from others in the scene. Their ability to take existing songs and transform them into something entirely fresh and new is a testament to their talent and vision as an artist. They have managed to push the boundaries of what vaporwave can be, elevating the genre to new heights and garnering respect and admiration from fans and critics alike. Overall, Saint Pepsi has made a significant contribution to the vaporwave genre by staying true to their own artistic vision and creating music that is both innovative and exciting. Their dedication to pushing the boundaries of the genre has truly set them apart, and they continue to be a driving force in the evolution of vaporwave music.

No other vaporwave song encapsulates this feeling of nostalgia and the existential crawl of time so perfectly and frighteningly serene, as if you were just first figuring out that your life no matter how luxurious will always be fleeting, and being content with the beauties of life, that money can't buy.
The track "Chinese Dance" by Macintosh Plus captures this feeling with its dreamy, ethereal sounds and samples. As the song progresses, it evokes a sense of longing and reflection on the past, causing the listener to contemplate the passage of time and the impermanence of life. The haunting melodies and distorted vocals create a sense of melancholy, but also a sense of acceptance and peace with the inevitable passage of time. It is a reminder to cherish the present moment and appreciate the fleeting beauty that surrounds us.
for all the people who never lived life before the internet, the "weird" nostalgia you felt was a longing for the past's hope of the future. years later it feels nostalgic in a different way, nostalgic for a time where you never thought the future would be like this this genre perfectly encapsulates the feeling of life's mystery before the internet came around. almost like that feeling when you still believed in magic idk what happened but "wonder" exists less and less maybe it's just me
I regularly come back to this masterpiece since I first listened to it in 2016. The dope vintage commercials along with the warm music induces nostalgia for an era I didn’t even live in.
I enjoy this so much. Reminds me of then the world wasn't so serious.. dunno if that's just me or the fact that I've grown up. Really wish I could just go back to the 90's again.
it's nostalgia for a future that never happened, will never happen, it's why vaporwave has a "retro-futuristic" aesthetic. The video clips are all made completely of ads, ads that want to sell you what life is like and will be like or could be like. But now decades after we see how none of our lives really even echo any of it. It's a lament over the dream capitalism sold us when we were kids and watching TV and how it's faded unattainable qualities have made it beautiful.
That's a laugh. This is my past. Pleasant back then but it was always elemental (EDIT: ephemeral). The present celebrates nothing but junk and destroys what was good for its time so they can pretend we were brainwashed. I've heard their bunk for decades. It's never changed. It's envy as art, it's disgust remaking the world in its own image. It's easy to ignore.
No you're just arbitrarily attaching your ideology to it because you are so entrenched in a political echo chamber that you can’t see anything but from it’s perspective.
thank you saint pepsi for sparking my interest in vaporwave which led me down so many roads i could never have imagined, this song is beautiful, thank you.
This makes me cry because i'm witnessing an era that i wasnt alive to see. An era that i will never get to see. Man this makes me happy and depressed at the same time.
no vaporwave is not right wing. vaporwave is a cynical, somber reflection on the acquiescence to consumerist and capitalist culture that took place in this era. if you listen to vaporwave and think "golly gee I sure love this soulless corporate music and CONSUME advertisements, wish we could go through that again!" you're completely missing the point of the music. the era we are living through now is the consequential progression of that era. consumerist culture has, pun intended, consumed us, and we sat there drinking pepsi and watching TV as it happened. and if "racism and oppression" sound "awesome" to you, you should consult a therapist.
That feeling when you've been listening to this song for years now and when you found this you thought to yourself "Things will get better, I'll be happy soon". But then here you are years later, still sad, still smoking weed, still listening to this, still trying to escape to a past you have never had or experienced because it reminds you of a time when you were happy. Then you realize that you are addicted to nostalgia and will probably never be happy because instead of mentally moving forward in your life you've stopped, still clinging to the tattered remains of happy memories. Oh, and you're only 21.
+SUNSETDOTCOM I guess the best thing to do would be to make that nostalgic past a part of your future reality. We've reached a period of stagnation because that progress-oriented mindset among people has been replaced with complacency and an over-exaggeration of the concept of compassion. There's no elevator of the outside that can bring us up, we have to lift ourselves up. At the end of the day we have to push through that barrier and make that future for ourselves.
You're only 21. Things tend to get better. Life is always a struggle, one way or the other; if you want to achieve whatever you define as success, the only constant in your life is that you'll have to work hard. So work at it, whatever it is you want to achieve. You either achieve your goals or die trying. Nostalgia is fine to experience, but don't hang onto it like a crutch. And this is coming from a 23 year old who isn't exactly having the greatest time right now; life is OK for me, but there are certainly areas which I want to see improvement, and there are big decisions that I'll have to make soon enough that will dictate my near future at the very least. So enjoy that S M O O T H V A P O R, and experience the full range of human emotion. How can we know happiness if we have never known sadness? But remember, this too shall pass, there will be better times, and worse times, ahead. But you're on this crazy rollercoaster called life, and as long as you keep getting back up when it knocks you down, that's all that really matters.
imagine what it'd be like in an alternate timeline where it just never happened... it'd be good to see. all the lives restored. a more positive future. same with ww2. imagine how things would be.

+Benjamin Bjelland i've been a fan of the genre for years and didnt know what it was called until yesterday. since the early 2000's i've been drawn to songs that sound like this didnt realize it was a genre..i would just haphazardly come across songs that i liked randomly on the internet.
+Benjamin Bjelland since there are so many dicks in the comments section, just enjoy your stay and try not to reply to trolls because they not even worth your time
I'm not even a 90s kid, but I remember malls fondly, even if they were at the beginning of their decline. My local mall used to be full to the brim of people on the weekends, now it's just a ghost town with a macys, jcpenneys, and a theatre. I miss the days when I used to be able to go to Toys r us as well.
but guys this arrangement belongs to our era. And we can share and talk about all this in this era. So I think we are lucky to enjoy our music and before us. Our era might be better
We got to Japan every year and this always hit different while listening walking around Tokyo. Def in my music library’s top 10 play count of all time.
The capital society. Honestly I love it to death. It feels real because the world you live in is determined by the people themselves, not through the bindings of a forced regime. Through all the corruption, greedy businessmen, and liars, there's that semblance of a determined future that is within reach. An imagination expressed with each sale, an emotion conveyed with each commercial, its a wonderful construct that paves way for a brighter tomorrow. Its free for your eyes only. Only in a negative lense does it look cruel and bleak. I understand that through personal anguish. However, its a bitter road to take and we must all walk the good way with heads held high no matter the squander that surrounds us. It really is something worth the gratitude in the end. Great video man and a wonderful song to go with it. I've listened to it everyday.
+Joseph Franc The world is only cruel and bleak because people only accept it like that to make up for the fact that they aren't in a position to enjoy all that the world has to offer. But there is no external force that can provide the best things in life, we have to work and move forward in this world to get there. It's easy to dig the dirt for the potato when the fruit tree seems so high, but we must always reach forth for what is greater. I listen to this song every day, and always see not only nostalgic past, but a bright future before us all if we make it happen.
\/\/|-|At? I had a strike of genius! Anyways, it was just something I felt like typing. It sounds stupid, but I had to get it off my chest (not HAVE t, but you understand).
+Joseph Franc it is only the illusion of a better tomorrow, a mortgage taken out on a futures stock where everything gets better because we will it. These videos are a return to the dream that we once had, the dream that was light projected onto vapor, disintegrated in the next strong breeze. Now the breeze feels bittersweet, cool on our skin, bringing back the sensation of the memory and the memory that it is gone forever. I am bitter, indeed, that the dream was ever given to me. There is no salvation.
+Elijah McGrew I agree that it has its flaws and cruel aspects, but you're saying it sucks compared to what? As of right now, even with all the wall street hustlers, fraudsters, offshore accounts, and government corruption it's still proven to lead human beings into the best standard of living we've ever experienced in the history of our civilization. The 90's was the height of that era and now we're getting to see all of its darkest qualities. I hope this will allow us to improve upon both our governmental and economic systems in the ages to come.
I feel a heavy hole in my heart after listening to this... while it's always euphoric throughout. I've never had a song make me feel this way, and for that reason I keep coming back to it. This is the definition of timeless art.
This song is timeless. I've been noticing the genre taking a weird direction for maybe the past 3 years, and not for the good. Y'all know who u are, so stop messing up and please take ur time when ur making Vaporwave. It's not just something u can pop out in a month.
I was 13 when this song came out, I remember vibing to this song at my 7th grade school dance. 2013 was such a good year. I gotta visit my old middle school for some nostalgia
This video is a masterpiece, i cant believe im still watching this video over 6 years and never get tired of it, to me this is the official video of this song, and no one could do a better job, thank you
These comments...Whew. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is nostalgic because of how the music sounds and the time period they were made in. Bring back vaporwave 2024, fr...
my life is becoming to get engaged with this type of lifestyle, in which there are mixed the elements from my childhood, how do i used to see the world, and the brightness my fathers told me should it be, is great to find music that can express a lot of good feelings, cause by one side we have the nostalgic of the past, but for the same shiny past we can believe in a better future.
Nostalgia for moments that are barely half a decade old, nostalgia for being nostalgic for a reality that only existed inside 80's Japanese TV commercials and consumer culture. Vaporwave really is the best representative for 2010's culture.
It's crazy to think that this song came out 10 years ago and I'm just discovering it. If there is one thing that the TH-cam algorithm gets right, its the music
My dear friend and I were so obsessed with this music video when it came out we spent hours shopping around to try and recreate the outfits. I’ll never forget how good we both looked, me in a oversized Hugo Boss suit and her in a strapless dress with that beautiful big hat walking together downtown with people literally stopping to compliment us. A memory where will forever be beautiful
. It was like stepping straight out of a fashion magazine and into real life, and we felt like celebrities for a day. The power of fashion and music coming together to create such a magical moment is something I will always cherish. It's amazing how a simple video can inspire so much creativity and confidence in us. I will always hold onto this memory as a reminder of the joy that comes
Was stationed on mainland Japan for two years, and this song and music video encapsulates the pure, innocent, beautiful, and nostalgia you feel whilst being in Japan! Such a beautiful country!
I'm glad to hear that you had such a positive experience in Japan! The country's beauty and culture are truly unique and special. Do you have any specific memories or experiences that stood out to you during your time there?

This song was originally built around artificial nostalgia but it really hits different after 10 years and is now real nostalgia.
@@dasit6034 But for those of us who weren't alive yet to actually experience those days, the nostalgia is artificial (Or it was before the song became a decade old). And that nostalgia for a time we didn't live in is a staple of vaporwave for many
@dasit6034 Some 70s too. Based on the f1 cars I think🤔
I thought "artificial nostalgia" was perfect. The artists creating *-wave music were born 1990 or later.. It's "artificial" because you feel nostalgic despite not recognizing the exact samples or commercials.

@@timtam4596 depends on what kind of life you experienced... i am from 96 and grew up with 80's people so i lived what they lived too
Back in 2016, when I listened to vaporwave I used to feel nostalgic for a time I was never alive for. Now in 2021, listening to vaporwave makes me feel nostalgic for 2016. Crazy how life slowly but surely assigns meaning to itself.
In the same boat
and 10 years from now we'll be doing the same thing and thinking about all the wild things we as individuals have been through
Yep, same here. Add future funk songs to that mix too.
Nostalgia man. Nothing like that first time. That's why a lot of us pine for the 80s and 90s and 00s so much, we're trying to recapture that initial feeling. They really were better times.
Nostalgia for nostalgia.
I miss this Saint Pepsi
the old saint pepsi had some real vibes
Get some nxxxxxs
you're not alone.
This song is fucking massive, and I would pay good money to hear more of it from Saint Pepsi.
I keep coming and coming to play this song man. It is so deep
Definitely, this video is art.
Uh no it's definitely not defiantly
you don't know what defiant means, do you?
StarScremerZ I do indeed know what defiant means
Nice shades Alejandro!
Who else gets a really great feel-good feeling while listening and watching the music videos for vapor wave, there's always something happening in the video that makes you smile, it's amazing.
Well, that's because the formula for such videos are compressed images of capitalistic happyness :)
Otkusi Sebe Chlen And I wouldn't have it any other way :3
so 2016 formula is the opposite of that
Concordo all 100%
a false vision of the reality, marketing manipulation, it's effective, real life is turning like this with pc culture, an hypocritical hell hole
It’s so bizarre yet it makes so much sense, that an artist from Brooklyn can make a song, then a guy completely unknown can make a video of old Japanese commercials and combine the two to make piece of art. With an aesthetic that we all can enjoy an atmosphere that makes us feel good. All deriving from promising commercials and good jams sampled from an 80s track called pillow talking. So simple it all really is but that’s where it gets complex. Absolutely amazing I’ll always come back to this something like this. It is An Art
Y cual es la *original song* , aunque se que hablas español, no te hagas
psdta: original song is *Lustt - Pillow Talk*
Absolutely agree. Estoy de acuerdo contigo cien por cien😉
He’s from long island not Brooklyn but yeah, this video is incredible

Right? Back in 2013-2015 I was nostalgic for an era I had never really known.
Now I listen to this and I'm nostalgic for that actual time when I first found it. The human condition is strange.
you are, we all are
You've got a manga pic as your avatar! You're not old ffs!!

I agree with you
Words cant express how this song makes me feel
О, привет
How about S P A C E D O U T
i feel like i am slowly going to the to the bottom of a bottomless pool of memorys and as i go down i see them all in the water, and slowly being wrapped arround by the darkness of the pool, and it get darker, and darker, and you know the is a bottom but is seem like there isnt but you are still going down like it seem forever but you never know. nobody never knows.
NTDM for those that want to know what the Japanese is, it says pepsi. This sums it up very well though.
Like I feel when I hear the McRib is coming back?
This song sounds like that one beautiful person you never talked to, and will never see again.
Seth Callina why is this so accurate, because this video is a masterpiece and the golden age for Japan in the 80s ended and will never come back.
Ouchhhhhhhhh
Makes me so sad
yes! I think the clip with the lady in the white hat stripping of her jacket is the embodiment of the song
that have no sence

The first time you watch this video, you find yourself thinking; "well, this is pretty fucking weird, but i kinda like it". And then, when you watch it for the second time, you're like; "something about this video gives me a feeling i've never felt before. I can't explain it very well, but it's very heartwarming and nostalgic" and then you're hooked, you'll keep coming back to it
yup exactly how i felt
Very well done video it goes like your memories you know when you think about it flashes of images sounds very clever.

Must be nice
A lot of Saint Pepsi's music ( and a lot of other vaporwave/future funk tracks) combined with the videos always give off a carefree and slightly nostalgic vibe. It's just people having fun. Listening to these songs make you want to live in a permanently dark city with the mesmerising flash of neon packing the scenery. They make you think about romance and business, giant skyscrapers, summer beach resorts, and video games, movies, TV and books and arcades and they make you think about being free and not having a care in the world. Have fun, baby!
Yeah it really does feel like that

Anyone knows what song does this come from?
Al RMo the original song is Pillow Talk by Sylvia, but Saint Pepsi sampled the italo disco cover by Lusst.
Man, I was so depressed while I was in college back in 2013. Private Caller always cheered me up those late nights alone in the dark finishing reports/essays.
And now having a career, when I'm down I still put this on to get me though.
Forever miss the vaporware genre at its height.
I'm glad Private Caller was able to bring you some comfort during those tough times in college. It's amazing how music can have such a powerful impact on our emotions and help us through difficult moments. Vaporware was definitely a unique and influential genre, and it's great that you can still turn to it for support when you need it. Keep listening and finding comfort in the music that speaks to you.
Wow japan was funky back then.

So it's a song from a boy to another boy.Ok.
It’s from a song called “ Pillow Talk “ by Sylvia from 1973.
EmotionalLord the original song is Pillow Talk by Lust and it’s a girl but this song is pitched down.
also homophobia much?
I first discovered this song in summer 2016, life was good and I had this jam on repeat. I didn't know it at the time but it was a truly magical time. I revisit this jam every now and then and just wish I could go back.
Why the fuck does this song make me feel nostalgic. I'm 19, when these ads were actually playing I was a fucking wet dream lol.
💯
That's the point of vaporwave and future funk. It's supposed to spark nostalgia.
Dude, first time I heard that Macintosh Plus song I felt really scared for some reason but safe because of a nostalgia spark. It was pretty weird. After listening to it every now and then I felt a bit happy and safe. I think about my childhood often now. I miss it.
Because you're a stupid special snowflake.
Same

lmao true shit
He's pretentious and close minded. The medium is the message is a good insight though.
I remember when I found this song, I didn't want to share with anyone because I thought they'd think I'm crazy or insane. I didn't want to tell anyone about Vaporwave. But now that I look back at this video, 3 million + views, how big Saint Pepsi has gotten, how deep Vaporwave has evolved. I never felt so indifferent before. Thanks, everyone, for listening to this stuff and calling it "music". Because without you, I don't think I've ever grown out of my shell. I can't think of a cool way to send this off.

Me TOO! Omg!
Just saw you live at Electronicon 2023. You tore the damn place apart Saint Pepsi. Never stop what you’re doing. I love you and your music 🙏🏻
do yall ever wonder where these people are now? like are they still alive or did they start families? what did they do with their lives?
Amethyst Flores yes i wonder this👌
@@Thattgirl6789 its always a kind of spooky thing to think abt since these commercials r just passing moments in their lives and we dont kno who these ppl r yet the whole world saw them once

Amethyst Flores For some reason i always think that these people just faded into oblivion or are old and and miss the golden age of 1980s Japan.
@@Thattgirl6789 I feel like they're watching their old commercials and thinking "wow!can't believe that's me! Japan was good back then."
SAINT PEPSI is so underrepresented on Spotify it makes me wanna cry 😩
He can't use that name any more.
"Skylar Spence" is where all his music is kept on spotify
No hit vibes though
The Vapor Room why not?
It's pretty hard to get your music on Spotify when it's basically a chopped up version of someone else's song. and your name is Pepsi
Watching this and feeling nostalgic about an age I never got to experience.
This song is almost 10 years old, I remember listening to this thing way back. Honestly the best word to describe Saint Pepsi’s music is timeless. Good luck Saint Pepsi/Skylar Spence in future albums and projects!❤
Original song: Lustt - Pilow Talk.

RFKFANTS67 Don't romanticize the past. There are good people today, and there are shitty people today. Same as it was in the 80s, the 70s, the 60s, etc. Nothing new under the sun. You only remember the good parts of yesteryear.
Exactly my dude. Nothing new under the sun, I like that phrase. It's all about finding your place. People in the 70s thought they got the same bum deal that we think we got when they looked back on the 60s, but just like us, they were only seeing the best parts with their rosy tinted glasses. All about finding your place.
All about leaving pretentious comments on youtube too, but that's my place.

This is the fucked up reality... been trying to accept this reality since early 20’s... it was really hard turning 30 knowing im one step closer... meanwhile seeing my mom knowing that shes much closer to the finish line than i am knowing as a woman she feels this exact same way seeing her only 30 year old daughter😭😭😭😭😭
Life is soooo fucked up😭😭😭😭
Feeling this on vaporwave make me also realize how many ppl were probably snorting cocaine while listening to this...
Its random but lets just fucking admit... this is very strong cocaine snorting music... that why the experience listening to it feels so strong😂😂😂

Saint Pepsi really elevated the genre to a new level. I respect them so much for being original with their vaporwave remixes of songs by actually creating music and not just slowing them down.
Saint Pepsi, also known as Skylar Spence, is definitely a standout in the vaporwave genre. Their approach to creating music that is engaging, energetic, and original within the genre is truly impressive. By infusing their own unique style and creativity into their remixes, they have set themselves apart from others in the scene.
Their ability to take existing songs and transform them into something entirely fresh and new is a testament to their talent and vision as an artist. They have managed to push the boundaries of what vaporwave can be, elevating the genre to new heights and garnering respect and admiration from fans and critics alike.
Overall, Saint Pepsi has made a significant contribution to the vaporwave genre by staying true to their own artistic vision and creating music that is both innovative and exciting. Their dedication to pushing the boundaries of the genre has truly set them apart, and they continue to be a driving force in the evolution of vaporwave music.

No other vaporwave song encapsulates this feeling of nostalgia and the existential crawl of time so perfectly and frighteningly serene, as if you were just first figuring out that your life no matter how luxurious will always be fleeting, and being content with the beauties of life, that money can't buy.
A very beautifully written comment
The track "Chinese Dance" by Macintosh Plus captures this feeling with its dreamy, ethereal sounds and samples. As the song progresses, it evokes a sense of longing and reflection on the past, causing the listener to contemplate the passage of time and the impermanence of life. The haunting melodies and distorted vocals create a sense of melancholy, but also a sense of acceptance and peace with the inevitable passage of time. It is a reminder to cherish the present moment and appreciate the fleeting beauty that surrounds us.
Original song: Lustt - Pillow Talk
Yeah, but the lyrics came from Sinoa - Pillow Talk
Actually its Sylvia-pillow talk
Roxanne Enriquez actually no.
7teenageSmokers she only wrote the song back in the 70s but okay.

for all the people who never lived life before the internet, the "weird" nostalgia you felt was a longing for the past's hope of the future.
years later it feels nostalgic in a different way, nostalgic for a time where you never thought the future would be like this
this genre perfectly encapsulates the feeling of life's mystery before the internet came around. almost like that feeling when you still believed in magic
idk what happened but "wonder" exists less and less
maybe it's just me

@@ancientapparition1638 me too man
I regularly come back to this masterpiece since I first listened to it in 2016. The dope vintage commercials along with the warm music induces nostalgia for an era I didn’t even live in.
I enjoy this so much. Reminds me of then the world wasn't so serious.. dunno if that's just me or the fact that I've grown up.
Really wish I could just go back to the 90's again.
:( Why I feel so nostalgic
Most of the commercials depicted on the video are from the 80s, by the way...
Change yourself; change the world. Cheer up buddy, with stuff like this it can be any decade you want everyday
That was when capitalismo works :c
For some reason I feel calm and happy.
why does vaporwave make us nostalgic for a time most of us were not alive for?
Cuz it reminds you of your past life
I was alive for it lol
Speak for yourself
Bro that’s so true

Lol you too? Best shower music
it's nostalgia for a future that never happened, will never happen, it's why vaporwave has a "retro-futuristic" aesthetic. The video clips are all made completely of ads, ads that want to sell you what life is like and will be like or could be like. But now decades after we see how none of our lives really even echo any of it. It's a lament over the dream capitalism sold us when we were kids and watching TV and how it's faded unattainable qualities have made it beautiful.
amazing comment dude, you've hit the nail so perfectly on the head
That's a laugh. This is my past. Pleasant back then but it was always elemental (EDIT: ephemeral). The present celebrates nothing but junk and destroys what was good for its time so they can pretend we were brainwashed. I've heard their bunk for decades. It's never changed. It's envy as art, it's disgust remaking the world in its own image. It's easy to ignore.
No you're just arbitrarily attaching your ideology to it because you are so entrenched in a political echo chamber that you can’t see anything but from it’s perspective.
@@realkingofwales3917 art interpretation is arbitrary? tell me something that everyone doesn't already know!
This is it.
thank you saint pepsi for sparking my interest in vaporwave which led me down so many roads i could never have imagined, this song is beautiful, thank you.
This makes me cry because i'm witnessing an era that i wasnt alive to see. An era that i will never get to see. Man this makes me happy and depressed at the same time.
DiscoKitten5 I feel you :(
"drugs, racism and oppression"
Sounds fucking awesome
fuck leftists
vaporwave is right wing
no vaporwave is not right wing. vaporwave is a cynical, somber reflection on the acquiescence to consumerist and capitalist culture that took place in this era. if you listen to vaporwave and think "golly gee I sure love this soulless corporate music and CONSUME advertisements, wish we could go through that again!" you're completely missing the point of the music. the era we are living through now is the consequential progression of that era. consumerist culture has, pun intended, consumed us, and we sat there drinking pepsi and watching TV as it happened.
and if "racism and oppression" sound "awesome" to you, you should consult a therapist.

DiscoKitten5 true, being born in the early 2000’s sucks and doesn’t suck for its own reasons

The 1980’s was such a time of excellence when it came to advertising and now it’s being preserved and utilized beautifully
That feeling when you've been listening to this song for years now and when you found this you thought to yourself "Things will get better, I'll be happy soon". But then here you are years later, still sad, still smoking weed, still listening to this, still trying to escape to a past you have never had or experienced because it reminds you of a time when you were happy. Then you realize that you are addicted to nostalgia and will probably never be happy because instead of mentally moving forward in your life you've stopped, still clinging to the tattered remains of happy memories. Oh, and you're only 21.
+SUNSETDOTCOM I guess the best thing to do would be to make that nostalgic past a part of your future reality. We've reached a period of stagnation because that progress-oriented mindset among people has been replaced with complacency and an over-exaggeration of the concept of compassion. There's no elevator of the outside that can bring us up, we have to lift ourselves up. At the end of the day we have to push through that barrier and make that future for ourselves.
+zach upah shit man, this hit way too hard for me. doesn't help that i have imnsonia and depression
V A P O R W A V E ::: T H E R A P Y
You're only 21. Things tend to get better. Life is always a struggle, one way or the other; if you want to achieve whatever you define as success, the only constant in your life is that you'll have to work hard.
So work at it, whatever it is you want to achieve. You either achieve your goals or die trying. Nostalgia is fine to experience, but don't hang onto it like a crutch.
And this is coming from a 23 year old who isn't exactly having the greatest time right now; life is OK for me, but there are certainly areas which I want to see improvement, and there are big decisions that I'll have to make soon enough that will dictate my near future at the very least.
So enjoy that S M O O T H V A P O R, and experience the full range of human emotion. How can we know happiness if we have never known sadness? But remember, this too shall pass, there will be better times, and worse times, ahead. But you're on this crazy rollercoaster called life, and as long as you keep getting back up when it knocks you down, that's all that really matters.
The world I know is separated into two sections.
Pre and Post 9/11
BigDFlyingAce very true. I don’t think many people realize this.

because humans will not get other epoch equal than this epoch. Epic days!

but guys this arrangement belongs to our era. And we can share and talk about all this in this era. So I think we are lucky to enjoy our music and before us. Our era might be better

The capital society. Honestly I love it to death. It feels real because the world you live in is determined by the people themselves, not through the bindings of a forced regime. Through all the corruption, greedy businessmen, and liars, there's that semblance of a determined future that is within reach. An imagination expressed with each sale, an emotion conveyed with each commercial, its a wonderful construct that paves way for a brighter tomorrow. Its free for your eyes only. Only in a negative lense does it look cruel and bleak. I understand that through personal anguish. However, its a bitter road to take and we must all walk the good way with heads held high no matter the squander that surrounds us. It really is something worth the gratitude in the end. Great video man and a wonderful song to go with it. I've listened to it everyday.
+Joseph Franc The world is only cruel and bleak because people only accept it like that to make up for the fact that they aren't in a position to enjoy all that the world has to offer. But there is no external force that can provide the best things in life, we have to work and move forward in this world to get there. It's easy to dig the dirt for the potato when the fruit tree seems so high, but we must always reach forth for what is greater. I listen to this song every day, and always see not only nostalgic past, but a bright future before us all if we make it happen.
AmericaFirst Amen brother.
\/\/|-|At? I had a strike of genius! Anyways, it was just something I felt like typing. It sounds stupid, but I had to get it off my chest (not HAVE t, but you understand).
+Joseph Franc it is only the illusion of a better tomorrow, a mortgage taken out on a futures stock where everything gets better because we will it. These videos are a return to the dream that we once had, the dream that was light projected onto vapor, disintegrated in the next strong breeze. Now the breeze feels bittersweet, cool on our skin, bringing back the sensation of the memory and the memory that it is gone forever. I am bitter, indeed, that the dream was ever given to me. There is no salvation.
+Elijah McGrew I agree that it has its flaws and cruel aspects, but you're saying it sucks compared to what? As of right now, even with all the wall street hustlers, fraudsters, offshore accounts, and government corruption it's still proven to lead human beings into the best standard of living we've ever experienced in the history of our civilization. The 90's was the height of that era and now we're getting to see all of its darkest qualities. I hope this will allow us to improve upon both our governmental and economic systems in the ages to come.
I feel a heavy hole in my heart after listening to this... while it's always euphoric throughout. I've never had a song make me feel this way, and for that reason I keep coming back to it. This is the definition of timeless art.
PETITION FOR SAINT PEPSI TO PUT THEIR SONGS ON SPOTIFY SO WE CAN ROAD TRIP
Angelica R He has a few things on spotify under his skylar spence name
I just did an mp3 conversion
Never going to happen, it’s a minefield of copyright issues. You can download the music online if you look
Ah the good old 'bubble economy' era of Japan before everything went to shit.
The same goes for the USA as well. Especially after 9/11 & the recession happened, everything changed.
Same goes for Ba-sing-sei. When the fire nation attacked, everything changed.
Smiley Dog y u so dis

I've turned myself in to the police
SammEater everything?
This song is timeless. I've been noticing the genre taking a weird direction for maybe the past 3 years, and not for the good. Y'all know who u are, so stop messing up and please take ur time when ur making Vaporwave. It's not just something u can pop out in a month.
Ye ikr, glad to see someone comment so recently to this video again
snoop dogg dank kush u know saint pepsi made this track in like a day right
snoop dogg dank kush and if your not finding good vaporwave look harder
Peace was never an option
Ok snoop dogg dank kush
I was 13 when this song came out, I remember vibing to this song at my 7th grade school dance. 2013 was such a good year. I gotta visit my old middle school for some nostalgia
Right before going to bed, a nostalgia trip of events that never happened
This video is a masterpiece, i cant believe im still watching this video over 6 years and never get tired of it, to me this is the official video of this song, and no one could do a better job, thank you
Music for the internet generation
Cu.fractus mind peeping our recent lofi rhymes ;)
the video shows th epinnacle of pre internet humannity, these ironic hypercucks of the internet can never reach the heights of Agrarianism
These comments...Whew. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is nostalgic because of how the music sounds and the time period they were made in. Bring back vaporwave 2024, fr...
my life is becoming to get engaged with this type of lifestyle, in which there are mixed the elements from my childhood, how do i used to see the world, and the brightness my fathers told me should it be, is great to find music that can express a lot of good feelings, cause by one side we have the nostalgic of the past, but for the same shiny past we can believe in a better future.
+Alejandro Ordaz You just summed up why I love vaporwave. Stay well my friend :)
I feel nostalgic for stuff that never happened
That's defined as Anemoia in the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows
Aye Anemoia gang where u at
Same here
Nostalgia for moments that are barely half a decade old, nostalgia for being nostalgic for a reality that only existed inside 80's Japanese TV commercials and consumer culture. Vaporwave really is the best representative for 2010's culture.
IT REALLY HAPPENED AND YOU WERENT THERE AND THATS SAD ASF BUT ITS HAPPY THAT YOU AT LEAST SEE REMAINING VIDEOS OF THAT..
At first you go, "hmm sounds ok" then you come back and you don't know what you missed before that makes it sound like a masterpiece.
It's crazy to think that this song came out 10 years ago and I'm just discovering it. If there is one thing that the TH-cam algorithm gets right, its the music
My dear friend and I were so obsessed with this music video when it came out we spent hours shopping around to try and recreate the outfits. I’ll never forget how good we both looked, me in a oversized Hugo Boss suit and her in a strapless dress with that beautiful big hat walking together downtown with people literally stopping to compliment us. A memory where will forever be beautiful
That’s amazing!!
. It was like stepping straight out of a fashion magazine and into real life, and we felt like celebrities for a day. The power of fashion and music coming together to create such a magical moment is something I will always cherish. It's amazing how a simple video can inspire so much creativity and confidence in us. I will always hold onto this memory as a reminder of the joy that comes
Was stationed on mainland Japan for two years, and this song and music video encapsulates the pure, innocent, beautiful, and nostalgia you feel whilst being in Japan! Such a beautiful country!
I'm glad to hear that you had such a positive experience in Japan! The country's beauty and culture are truly unique and special. Do you have any specific memories or experiences that stood out to you during your time there?
Please don't let Saint Pepsi die. A legend of our generation
He does still make music, just under the name Skylar Spence. He's been cooking up a new album for a bit
This song makes me nostalgic for a time when I was nostalgic for another time
This song makes me cry every time the beat drops, it's like a hug on my soul.
This is like a time machine, but we can't go back, just forward and theres no pause button
Thats called life mate.
you cracked wide open the secret appeal behind all this, that's nice
So not a time machine
I wanna get baked with whoever chose the videos for this.
me too
Obzeh same hahaha
Obzeh I ' ll join you
same fam
I have been listening to this on my nokia phone back when I was 14 years old and I still love it , despite all these years
