A very extensive interview from yours truly as I went down memory lane! I really hope you enjoy it, I had a blast writing it all out.

Making a new vaporwave subgenre where quantity over quality will be huge. Make as many songs as possible and spam every discord self promo channel I possibly could with it. Think I will call this genre “i-shii-bu-hole”.

Down 80k monthly listeners on Spotify so gotta buy my likes on anything I post to keep my gamma flowing. 💯

Everyone is more concerned with being the first to spot hypocrisy than to take a moment to understand why someone's behavior might reconcile with their past words and actions in a way that isn't immediately apparent.

Art vs. the algorithm! Industry plants! Aquatic ambience! All this and more from our broadcast on Monday night with Arpwire TV founder Win2K, hosted by @rogecorp.bsky.social and @yungshiro.bsky.social. Check out the Youtube VOD if you couldn't be there for the live broadcast!

A significant part of the problems the vaporwave scene currently has is a widespread and institutional inability to call *any* vaporwave music bad. You can't even say you dislike a trend or an approach to organizing the music without people swiftly piling in to defend stuff they've never even heard

Win2K from Arpwire TV is going to be hopping on the “Hot Takes” broadcast on Monday, May 11 at 8PM ET! Tune in at twitch.tv/hottakesvapor to rap with @rogecorp.bsky.social, @yungshiro.bsky.social, and Win2K about frutiger aero, 2000’s nostalgia, and so much more. See y’all in the chatroom!

Next Monday, May 11 at 8PM ET, @rogecorp.bsky.social and @yungshiro.bsky.social will be hosting Arpwire TV showrunner Win2K! Tune in with your best arguments, debate topics, and blazing hot opinions next week with Roge, Shiro, and Win2K at twitch.tv/hottakesvapor!

We're glad everyone is enjoying the episode, but we need to say: Credit for i2k should really go to the whole VaporVA collective (@rogecorp.bsky.social and @vincentvangoe.bsky.social). They do amazing work and we want to make sure everyone knows it. Connect with them here: linktr.ee/vaporva
