There's a number of interesting statements, but this is probably my fave:

Expect a lot of Laborwavers to wear shirts with Che Guevara, the hammer-and-sickle, and other examples of communist iconography, but outside of that, they're generally not the type to indulge in fashion whatsoever, since they don't typical indulge in things like that.

    if it were my call to make, i wouldn't have googled that in the first place

    really cool how some segment of the internet has decided that "aesthetics" means fitting into a very narrow mold of free vhs effect plugins and nonsense kanji

        Maybe to some of the "big" early artists like Vektroid and St Pepsi they felt it was, but it's also a genre that arose on the internet, which tends to rapidly erode context from symbols, and if it's about anything, vaporwave is about that decontextualizing process. I think the odds of making a coherent anticapitalist statement were always pretty low.
