Never once has a DJ stopped a show for a political message in my city. Everyone cheered too.

I think you could throw James Ferraro in there as well, another black guy

but that early era of vaporwave came and went over a decade ago. a lot of those original artists moved on to other things and the vaporwave scene became flooded with a lot of white cishet male weebs lazily copying their style without understanding the artistic intent beyond a surface level

I miss that era of vaporwave. It has led to some interesting spinoff subgenres that have leftist aesthetics like sovietwave.

James Ferraro is the best musician alive at making music that sounds like it was spit right out of a corporate board room meeting on how to make the most inoffensive, blandest thing possible. And yet he's amazing, he's extremely talented. It's like the musical equivalent of those street performers who pretend they're statues. It's like if Goku started playing golf.

Intentionally making robotic, soulless music. I love him and can't believe I forgot him.
