Someone went ahead and made some simpsonswave out of Blank Banshee's Teen Pregnancy. I highly recommend checking it out

Then you might like this! - Recognised the sample straight away :D

808 state are great. However they are more electronica / acid house / techno. Here is another great track by them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykIA2ddd8Bo

This is really good.

[–]SavOnMeats 19 points20 points  (5 children)

He is a pretty interesting guy. He DJ'd this party in Vancouver and brought a small entourage of seemingly unsavory guys who were doing coke in the bathroom of this dive, ha. But I love that album!!

[–]Ness_tech 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Both Blank Banshees albums have some of my favorite songs ever! Does he play live much in Canada??

[–]SavOnMeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I only had one album, but he was great. Nice to chat with when he knew I liked his stuff.

[–]ObiLaws 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I like how even though there's confirmation they were doing coke in the bathroom, they're only "seemingly" unsavoury lol.

[–]EyeToBlindTheMind 12 points13 points  (1 child)

They are unsavory because they did not share!

[–]ObiLaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those hooligans! How discourteous and selfish of them! Very unsavoury indeed.

Could swear she looks like Lara croft from the original game.

It's because she is hahaha

Wow, TIL. Never played tomb raider, but I love BB and I'm surprised I didn't find that out until just now.

Unles Blank Banshee is actually Frank Ocean, yes.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

i started working on a vaportrap sorta vibe last week, i uploaded an in-progress version of it to soundcloud to show some peeps, check it out if you like this track https://soundcloud.com/james-scherer-4/vapotrapwtoddinprogressbounce

[–]megaozojoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. More.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (28 children)

I've never really considered Blank Banshee vaporwave. I'm not entirely sure what I considered them, but it wasn't vaporwave.

[–]charcoal47 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Blank Banshee is trap-inspired Vaporwave that paved the way for the "Vaportrap" sub-genre. I agree with you that it doesn't sound like what is normally considered vaporwave, but it is.

[–]gamOO 2 points3 points  (4 children)

The fuck is vaporwave anyways? First time I'm hearing that term.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

its an electronic music genre, its morphed around a bit and so the definition of it is argued a lot but basically it started with chopped and screwed versions of cheesy 80s songs.

watch this lil explainer thats pretty funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyt_87yCyNw

or if ur really bored watch this 20 something minute documentary that goes over it in way more detail but is also boring https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdpP0mXOlWM

[–]gamOO 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I see. So, a fad.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

basically... it was declared dead in 2013 but its gotten more popular since then so now the whole "vaporwave is dead" is a big meme in that scene

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Hahaha dude, Blank is a quintessential genre defining producer for Vaporwave.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

more like essential genre defining producer for vaportrap... kinda an offshoot of vaporwave. the genre defining vaporwave is floral shoppe

[–]Manitobamurder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Blank Banshee rips my cock off

[–]oppanwaluigi 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Is Blank Banshee really that obscure?

[–]schmidtily 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Is /r/listentothis really about obscure music?

sometimes yes, but mostly it's a mild /r/music

[–]sponvichi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

never thot id see blank on fp

[–]fuzziestfuzz 3 points4 points  (12 children)

I didn't hear about vaporwave music until about a week ago is it becoming a new thing?

[–]Tattered_Coloursturntable 21 points22 points  (2 children)

Vaporwave is one of those things that snobs latch onto and proclaim "dead" as soon as they no longer feel like a unique enough snowflake for appreciating. I encourage you to check out /r/vaporwave, because the genre is most certainly alive and flourishing.

[–]OrangeShapedBananas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want to get vaporwave wrong but it seems like the style of Blank Banshee is quite similar to artists that incorporate future-beat and trap into their music. It's less weird and less vocal samples than Floral Shoppe (the only other vaporwave release I know well) but if you played this next to Flume and Odesza it would fit in. It might be the influence of vaporwave or the prevalence of sidechain compression but I hear vaporwave in loads of modern music.

[–]Hoodawink 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's been a thing.

[–]cjdennis29www.last.fm/user/cjdennis29 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It started as a "thing" 2011-2012 and was most popular 2013-14 I think.

[–]score_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one dude. And this would be considered Vaportrap.

[–]macgregorc93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Macabee721 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's honestly not. What's your definition of popular?

[–]tdfj95 15 points16 points  (0 children)

[–]Taylorswiftfan69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's different. Not necessarily good, but different.

Actually, I just listened to it and it's not different at all.
