I thought it was made by people my age who grew up with that aesthetic around them, rather than younger people trying to fake it.

And then after a while vapourwave becomes the reference itself not the 80s poo poo it stole from

the internet means that "time" and "space" are less of a barrier to these things, there is more choice in the cultural artefacts you consume. but in any case it's internet joke music. that's it. many trends and scenes began in irony, that's fine. "no wave" was ironic. the amount of words people have wrote in think pieces are the domain of idiot academics. it's not worth thinking too much about.

"I Cry Every Night Because I'm Not James Ferraro" written in kanji

vaporwave is not internet joke music :confused: you're thinking of the dozens of parodies and clones of MacIntosh Plus - Floral Shoppe

lol yes it is. the origin, which was being stupidly discussed above, was a joke. it can also be more than a joke - things move past origin, origin isn't even terribly important.
