The Virtual Ocean is the “Let’s Listen” vaporwave discovery podcast.

What is vaporwave?

Vaporwave is a music genre (and internet meme) that appropriates mood music from the past while presenting subtle takes on modern-day consumerist culture.

The genre has drawn many passionate listeners with its powerful immersion, ambiguous commentaries, and the genre's unique ability to amalgamate with the memes created as its byproduct.

It's a genre with several subgenres that are extremely distinct from one another in sound and style; and yet evoke similar archetypal ideas that say, either explicitly or implicitly, a lot about the modern world.

It's also very, very, aesthetic.

In each episode, we listen to tracks that make up genre and give our thoughts, emotions, and commentary on them.

In episode 12, we are going to be listening to siglyopum groceries's debut album "supermarket Yes We're Open!" ( 식료품groceries's 슈퍼마켓yes! we're open)

This album is considered another breakthrough album that takes the musical ideas presented in Cat System Corps' Palm Mall and applies it to an entirely different consumerist experience: the grocery market.
