What Makes Something Vaporwave, It's History and What is Called Vaporwave I remember it was about two years ago that I was first introduced to Vaporwave, it was an off chance click, a small little tap of the finger, and because of that I saw something that made me say to myself with ideals of grandeur comparable to those of the colonists for the first time coming into contact with the Native Americans. After reading the blog by the essayist behind This Exists I remember first listening to that one song that everyone knows but just refers to as Macintosh Plus 420. I thought it was pretty shit. I remember listening to Blank Banshee's album with a picture of Laura...
American Life in the 80s The 1980s were an exciting time for Americans. Many new types of technology and forms of entertainment were emerging. What were some of these new items? What was daily life like in the 1980s? Families in the 80s The American family was changing in the 1980s.

Well, not completely. That’s why today we go back, to the future! You may have noticed there’s a lot of nostalgia going...
Living in '80s Of course, we are on the whole tired of the wistfulness trips, the '80s and '90s subject gatherings, and the unending yakkity yak about how extraordinary it was THEN and the amount it sucks NOW. Like, whatever, isn't that so? There are such a large number of wonderful things about the world we live in today: the extraordinary access to data, the advancements in innovation, and the manner in which we can impart for no cash to anybody, anyplace on the planet. Presently is a great time to be alive, at the same time, you know, the 80s had something to offer as well, regardless of whether there is no chance to get in hellfire you could...
