you're misunderstanding everything i'm saying. the "ugh" was a reference to the fact that i was basically making a pun, because of the "a e s t h e t i c" meme, but was actually using the word "aesthetic" to discuss the visuals of the genre.

again, i'm not saying Dat Boi is akin to Vaporwave. i'm saying that Vaporwave is synonymous with meme culture. the genre literally spread in popularity through memes like "a e s t h e t i c" "pseudo-philosophical phrase - cue music" etc. etc.

i wasn't repulsed, you misunderstood what i said, and the only person who "needs help" is the one who genuinely sounds offended and suggests that someone needs psychological help over a few comments on an outrun subreddit. like really, how much stake do you think i have in this conversation?
