My guy said "Windows 96 pop ups" and the slipped disk in my lower back began to throb.

In my opinion, no internet aesthetic will ever beat liminal spaces. It seemed like it just created itself. liminal spaces came at a perfect time when we were all stuck inside. Truly a gem of an aesthetic. also cool seeing you in opposer vr cresendex :)

Just wanted to say your videos are very unique and that you bring something to the table that most youtubers do not which I love. I really hope you get big!

one time, i walked around an airport when it was completely empty. we missed our connecting flight so we were stuck there until morning. it was the best feeling there, with nobody at all.

I've seen Akira last year with a friend and it was just pure nostalgic bliss. It was as if I was back in the 90s again. That anime aesthetic from back then is something else.

Internet aesthetics definitely produce a feeling that can barely be described in words. For me, vaporwave hits all the marks of each internet aesthetic. Its so palpable to me. I wasn't born in the time that the vaporwave aesthetic resides upon, however much like you, I too feel a sense of nostalgia, or in this case, anemoia. My first exposure to vaporwave that stuck with me was a few years ago when, out of nowhere, I came across a Windows 95 desktop screenshot. The wallpaper looked like an ameture photo of a random backyard pool, although "Vaporwaved up" with the colours and such. I'm not sure what it is, but the combination of 90s technology and the real life really give me an indescribable feeling. Absolutely love your videos! Each one has its own unique twist to it that no other Youtuber seems to have.

I feel like Vaporwave is more of a celebration and critique of promises of a grandiose capitalistic future that never came. It celebrates the ideas, but critiques it's shallowness by distorting the iconography and sounds of the era.

Just want to give more context about "biblically accurate angel": Not every angel from the old Bible where wheels with eyes or wings with eyes. The angels with wheels are called Ophanim, and the ones with wings are Seraphims. But humanoid angels still existed in the old versions of the Bible, but they were from different classes. Just wanted to give more context and avoid any misconception. Great content as always 👍

vaporwave is peak aesthetic for me, nice vid 😎

I’m old and remember two are movements: ‘Net Art’ and ‘Internet Art’ movements during the late 90’s and mid-2000’s. This is back when the internet was new. An animation company called ‘Shynola’ (who made that Queens Of The Stoneage red and black video) pioneered Windows menus in their work. This was a period when pixel art was new, it was so common place on computer screens but nobody had thought to put it in graphic design until the 90’s, check out some dance music albums from that era. The ‘Pictoplasma’ art books would be of interest to you guys too, might be an eye-opener looking back considering how ahead of the curve some of the designs were in there. Liminal spaces wern’t anything new since they were used by The Designers Republic and an artist called Rut Blees Luxemburg used brutalist and industrial architecture, the aesthetic of the 90’s and 2000’s was more factory, industrial and brutalist than the Y2K look all you kids are into. It’s weird seeing this stuff come back around again and shoot off into it’s own thing. Appreciate what’s around you now and maybe hold onto some mundane things, you never know when they’ll be back…

The 'wheels within wheels' design of angels is only the beginning. As a Christian, I LOVE studying angelology in the Bible. There's the normal person with wings design for the first level or so of angels. Archangels wear knight's armor without the helmet, and normal angels wear robes. Guardian angels are a subset of normal angels themselves. The second level is more esoteric, but keeps a general humanlike design to them. Then there's Thrones. Wheels within wheels, spinning in inconceivably many directions, with eyes along the rings, and glorious light at the center. Some designs show a massive eye there- some of them a symbol of Christ as a baby, surrounded from the light such that you can't make Him out, but you know it's Him. Thrones are the third most powerful angel type. Then you have Cherubim, which after the Renaissance period, had a massive design change to just a baby with wings. How cute. But the biblically accurate design is that of a six winged creature, with the legs of a calf, the torso and arms of a man, and a head which is constantly changing between four shapes (they move in a ring, seeing in all directions, and only one head is on the neck at all times). They have the head of a human, of an ox, of a lion, and of an eagle- or an owl. They guard the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament, and the Throne of God in Heaven. The second most powerful of all angels. The most powerful is the Seraph, or Seraphim (plural), which has 2 main designs- and they are sometimes mixed up with cherubs in the Bible itself (although, when they are, its likely a mistake on the writer's part, since the only times they are spoken of (or at least, how they look is), is during a vision, and they're jotting down what they saw. They likely got their angelology mixed up). Sometimes seraphim are shown as people with robes on, who have six wings. Two are used for flight: the middle pair. The top pair cover the angel's face. The bottom, their feet. And then there's the second design. They're depicted as massive eyes, with 6 wings branching off of their backs, and a pair of eyes for every human soul to have ever existed on their wings. This design, however, is possibly, again, a mistake, because there's a theory that it is the design of specifically one seraph in a book that is either considered fake or was at one time a part of the Bible until God revealed how the Bible should be put together, what books should go in, etc. It may have been in the Book of Enoch, but I'm not sure- but it was supposedly the seraph that watches the souls of humans and, when they die, guides them to purgatory, or to heaven, and if they are to go to hell, then does not interfere. Something along those lines.

I believe the use of Greek statues in vaporwave comes from the album Floral Shoppe by Macintosh Plus, that album cover and music kind of set the whole look and feel of vaporwave going forward

As soon as I was done with Astrophobia, I came to realize you uploaded just right now. I hope for your channel to reach a broader audience and grow exponentially. Filled with so much joy as I'm currently typing, I'm glad people had to see the space simulator you featured along with all the sourced footage you used. You're an underrated channel & you are good at what you're doing :)

Ya know the crazy feeling when you see your child hood play ground at your favorite park in a YouTube video

How have you not yet blown up in popularity, your voice is calming and your content is interesting

Brutalism is an aesthetic in my eyes, and my favorite form of Architecture.

It feels like everyone uses surreal as an adjective without discussing the history of surrealism in art which delved into dreams and psychology translated into painting and sculpture. That sums up dreamcore and trauma core but personally I think Luis Bunuel put it best, quote; 'The surrealist's aim was not to establish themselves in the annals of art and literature, but to change the world and transform life itself'. Today, we have subgroups of people who find beauty in loneliness and abandonment, who go out and photograph their finds, their world has changed. Look back in art and you will find liminal spaces, dreamcore and traumacore of a bygone era, look at Rene Magritte's paintings and you will find liminal space, look at Gordon Clark's buildings and you will find liminal space.

Almost every image you use here I could stare at for an hour

This channel deserves to be recognized and become popular one day. And with only 13.8K subscribers, you produce content which made me think you had around 500K. Keep up the work, Cresendex

I love the frutiger aero world depicted in the early 2000s and 2010s, would those be considered as such.
