 * Overview
 
-When it comes to an aesthetic that originated primarily online, there
-tends to be a lot of confusion around what falls into each specific
-genre. This post discusses Vaporwave and Outrun, which have become
-almost synonymous in the minds of those online who aren't hardcore into
-these genres of media. More specifically, Outrun is largely an unknown
-term while all aesthetics in these two genres are usually attributed to
-Vaporwave. For example, take a look at the image search results for
-Vaporwave: the results include *a lot* of Outrun-themed images. You'll
-find a similar trend almost everywhere.

-Vaporwave is a microgenre of electronic music, a visual art style, and
-an Internet meme that emerged in the early 2010s. It is defined partly
-by its slowed-down, chopped and screwed samples of smooth jazz,
-elevator, R&B, and lounge music from the 1980s and 1990s. The
-surrounding subculture is sometimes associated with an ambiguous or
-satirical take on consumer capitalism and pop culture, and tends to be
-characterized by a nostalgic or surrealist engagement with the popular
-entertainment, technology and advertising of previous decades. Visually,
-it incorporates early Internet imagery, late 1990s web design, glitch
-art, anime, 3D-rendered objects, and cyberpunk tropes in its cover
-artwork and music videos.

 ** Time Frame
 
-The time frame for references, logos, etc. focuses mostly on the 1990s
-in Vaporwave. You'll see old school Pepsi logos, Microsoft 95 screens,
-tropical plants, classic marble sculptures, and many references from
-Japan's influence in the 90s.

 ** Music
 
-The musical genre of Vaporwave incorporates soft tunes, lounge music,
-and sound effects that will make the listener reminisce of the 90s. The
-sounds of the genre are generally slower-paced and calming. The major
-breakthrough artist for Vaporwave was
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vektroid][Macintosh Plus]], who released
-the album
-[[https://archive.org/details/MACINTOSHPLUS-FLORALSHOPPE_complete][Floral
-Shoppe]] in 2011. Another more recent example is the artist
-[[https://sadbert.bandcamp.com/][sadbert]], whose latest album
-incorporates the upbeat tones of the 1999 Dilbert TV series.
-
-Notice that Vaporwave doesn't include things like racing cars,
-futuristic technology, chrome, or the deep orange/purple color scheme.
-Vaporwave is a focus on the idyllic state of the world when technology
-was becoming common in households, a reality that we have already
-experienced. Focus on the most aesthetically-pleasing parts of that past
-is a large part of Vaporwave.

 ** Art
 
-The color scheme uses a very dark color palette with the main colors
-being deep oranges, blues, and purples. Red edges are common around
-objects in Outrun art. The background of the Outrun aesthetic is almost
-always a neon grid like you'd expect to see in Tron or a 1980s arcade

-aesthetics with many important distinctions. Someone who enjoys one may
-not necessarily enjoy the other, so it's important to make sure we
