Description
Babbling Corpse Vaporwave And The Commodification Of Ghosts by Grafton Tanner In the age of global capitalism, a new musical micro-genre has emerged, foregrounding the horror of electronic media's ability to appear "haunted". Vaporwave celebrates and undermines the electronic ghosts haunting the nostalgia industry, exposing the gaps inherent in the electronic media that pervade our lives. This book explores the intersections of vaporwave with politics, media theory, and our fascination with uncanny, co(s)mic horror. Experimental musicians like INTERNET CLUB and MACINTOSH PLUS manipulate Muzak and commercial music to challenge the commodification of nostalgia in the age of global capitalism. Babbling Corpse reveals the complex relationships between art, music, and commerce, and how these are shaped by the changing landscape of global capitalism. For those interested in the impact of global capitalism on art and music, or those intrigued by the changing relationship between art and commerce, this book offers a unique perspective on the role of vaporwave in our cultural landscape.
