The Virtual Ocean is a “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 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 2, we listen to the most essential listen of the vaporwave genre: Vektroid/Macintosh Plus's Floral Shoppe. 

This album is considered a must-listen when it comes to this genre, and I break down how the album transports you from its dark abysses to its heavenly skies. 

Let's set sail on the Virtual Ocean.
