Category:Hardvapour releases

Releases made in the Hardvapour style.

A reactionary response to the perceived dullness of vaporwave, Hardvapour is an off-shoot that attempts to turn the utopian aesthetics of the genre on its head, replacing the stereotypical Japanese aesthetics with equally stereotypical Eastern European aesthetics (with a particular focus on Ukraine). Most music considered to be hardvapour is inspired by hardcore techno, particularly gabber music. Hardvapour releases are often of amateurish but original production, with minimal to no sample usage.
