Due to unconventional 808 production, terror plugg experienced a wave of online virality between 2024 and 2025 through internet memes on TikTok and Instagram.[23] Music journalist Kieran Press-Reynolds credited New York rapper Yuke's 2024 single "ian goin" as "the logical excruciating endpoint of the 'terror plugg' style".[25] Notable artists include boolymon, Lazer Dim 700, twovrt, and savage.[12]
Vaporwave genres
[edit]Eccojams
[edit]Eccojams (also known as echo jams[26]) is a microgenre and early progenitor of vaporwave originally coined by musician Daniel Lopatin with the release of Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1 (2010). According to Lopatin, the style began as a simple exercise in looping a slowed-down segment of a song while adding vibrating echoes.[27][28] It would become an influence on early vaporwave artists such as b0dyg0d, Ramona Langley, INTERNET CLUB, MediaFired and EEGPROGRAMS, with Lopatin describing the style as "a DIY practice that didn't involve any specialized music tech knowledge".[29][30]
Vapor
[edit]In 2025, the Vaporwave News Network stated that the term "vapor" was an umbrella genre, citing Rate Your Music's entry for the term, or a "meta-genre", while citing writer Roy Shuker's book Popular Music Culture: The Key Concepts' definition of "meta-genre".[31] The publication stated that vapor "unites around the digital appropriation of recontextualized signifiers and sounds. It points to something greater than the formation of a static music genre- it's like a cloud of particles that when grouped together form something you can almost see, feel, and touch but is also destined for entropy and will eventually scatter into many different directions".[31]
Future funk
[edit]Future funk is a French house-inspired offshoot[32] that expands upon the disco and house elements of vaporwave.[33] It involves much of the same visual imagery drawn from 1980s and 1990s anime,[34] with reference points including Urusei Yatsura, Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Kimagure Orange Road, and Sailor Moon.[35] Musically, future funk is produced in the same sample-based manner as vaporwave, albeit with a more upbeat approach.[36][37] Most of the music samples are drawn from Japanese city pop records from the 1980s and 1990s, and the genre has led to an increased exposure of city pop music to Western audiences.
Some of the most popular future funk artists include Macross 82-99, who pioneered the genre with his Sailorwave album series in 2013,[35] Other artists described as being the most popular in future funk include Skylar Spence (aka Saint Pepsi), Tsundere Alley, Ducat,[38] Yung Bae,[39] and Night Tempo.[40]
Simpsonwave
[edit]Simpsonwave is an Internet aesthetic and YouTube phenomenon that emerged in the mid-2010s. In late 2015, user Spicster uploaded an edit of the American animated television series The Simpsons to the song "Resonance" by HOME onto Vine.[41] The video went viral and sparked a trend featuring scenes from The Simpsons paired with various vaporwave tracks.[41][42][43] In 2016, users Midge and Lucien Hughes further developed and popularized the movement with the use of clips often edited out of context with VHS-style distortion effects and surreal visuals, creating a "hallucinatory and transportive" atmosphere.[44][45]
Late night lo-fi
[edit]Late night lo-fi (or late-nite lo-fi) is a subgenre featuring slowed-down 1980s pop and jazz that emulates recorded programs on old 4:3 televisions. Its main progenitor is Luxury Elite, known for her music's high-class aesthetic.[46]
VHS pop
[edit]VHS pop is a more upbeat variant of late night lo-fi characterized by a richer sound and vibrant, nostalgic aesthetics.
Utopian virtual
[edit]Utopian virtual is an offshoot of vaporwave originally coined by musician James Ferraro with the release of Far Side Virtual (2011), which showcased Ferraro's concept of a “virtual life soundtrack,” combining crisp, unreal early 3D computer graphics with vaporwave textures.[47] The style later became associated with the Frutiger Aero Internet aesthetic.
Signalwave
[edit]Signalwave (or broken transmission) samples and distorts radio broadcasts, television programs, and station idents, particularly from The Weather Channel. Representative artists include 猫 シ Corp and CT57.
Slushwave
[edit]Slushwave is the ambient branch of vaporwave, creating immersive soundscapes with extended tracks often exceeding 10 minutes. Notable artists include t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者, SOARER, and Desert Sand Feels Warm at Night.[48]
Hardvapour
[edit]Hardvapour emerged in late 2015[49] as a reimagination of vaporwave with darker themes, faster tempos, and heavier sounds.[33] It is influenced by speedcore and gabber, and defines itself against the utopian moods sometimes attributed to vaporwave. Hardvapour artists include wosX and Subhumanizer.[49]
Mallsoft
[edit]Mallsoft amplifies vaporwave's lounge influences.[33] It may be viewed in connection to "the concept of malls as large, soulless spaces of consumerism ... exploring the social ramifications of capitalism and globalization".[50] Popular mallsoft artists include Disconscious, Groceries, Hantasi, and Cat System Corp. (known for his 2016 9/11 tribute album News at 11).[27]
Fashwave
[edit]Fashwave (from "fascist")[51][52] is a largely instrumental fusion of synthwave and vaporwave that originated on YouTube circa 2015.[53][54] Artists include Cybernazi, Xurious, Andrew Anglin, and Elessar.[55][54] It is also been described as an extremist subset of the non-extremist latter promoted by neo-Nazis.[56][54] With political track titles and occasional soundbites, the genre combines Nazi symbolism with the visuals associated with vaporwave and synthwave.[57] According to Hann, it is musically derived from synthwave,[51] while Heavy contributor Paul Farrell writes that it is "considered to be an offshoot from the harmless vaporwave movement."[52] The visual aesthetic of fashwave, consisting of typical vaporwave elements mixed with fascist symbols like the black sun, odal rune, or crusader imagery,[58] has been associated with the "Dark MAGA" imagery surrounding Trump and Ron DeSantis.[59][60] It has been parodied by anti-fascists, such as with the Dark Brandon meme, a mocking imitation of the "Dark MAGA" imagery surrounding Trump.[61][62][63]
In 2023, the DeSantis campaign let go of their campaign director, after it was publicized that a campaign aide had created a DeSantis "fan edit" featuring the black sun symbol.[59][64] In late 2025 and early 2026, videos posted on social media by both the United States Department of Labor and the Department of Homeland Security has been described as resembling fashwave.[65]
Juchewave
[edit]Juchewave (from “Juche”) is a version of vaporwave which idealises North Korea, especially popular culture of the 1980s in North Korea. The movement combines music with nostalgic videos of the capital Pyongyang.[66]
Barber beats
[edit]Barber beats was originally coined and popularized by artists such as Haircuts for Men and Macroblank. The subgenre heavily samples and slows down smooth jazz, lounge music, and R&B from the 1980s to the early 2000s.[67][68]
Internet rock genres
[edit]Incelcore
[edit]Incelcore is a microgenre of rock music pioneered by musician and Internet personality Negative XP (formerly known as School Shooter), drawing influence from punk, electronic and alternative rock.[69]
Internet electronic music genres
[edit]Nightcore
[edit]Nightcore is a music genre and style of mixing that involves applying sped-up and pitched-up effects to a song, particularly trance and Eurodance songs but can also be applied to any form of music. The term is derived from the Norwegian musical duo "Nightcore" who coined and popularized the style.
Tänzelcore
[edit]Tänzelcore or Keller synth is a combination of electronic dance music and the aesthetics of extreme metal. The style is characterized by high-tempo beats,[70] gabber kicks, and hardcore techno structures layered with crude, lo-fi synthesizer melodies that evoke medieval fantasy soundtracks. The name is derived from the German "Tänzel," meaning "to prance." The genre is known for its absurdist medieval aesthetic and was created in Saarland by artist Sigfrid.[71] Artist TopfHelm described the genre's atmosphere as "witches gathering in a dark forest at night to perform strange rituals" in an interview.[72]
