[ *ADDITIONAL NOTES* ]
I've listened to a lot of Vaporwave over the years. I've listened to it through a depressive rut, I listen to it on walks, I listen to it when making videos for this channel. While I enjoy plenty of other music genres in my downtime, Vaporwave is one I can say with absolute certainty that I have the most sentimental feelings for. So, considering that I like to rant about topics I am passionate about on this channel, this is my two cents on Vaporwave.

Also, shoutout to:
Vaporfunk Station - For the 24/7 music I listened to during my depressive slump
Vapor Memory - For being a convenient way to learn about new, amazing music
Cat System Corp - For the wonderful music releases over the years
Tiger Blood Tapes - For being my introduction to collecting vaporwave records
And lastly - The youtubers who've made great Vaporwave mixes, and artists who made that music (too many to name)
