x7s018y3fhigoxg:http://moredepth.tumblr.com/post/145624020411File Under: RIP Vapour Wave or you were a meme that really stole the internet imaginary for a time, you inspired debates back and forth, serious memegeneration, a handful of vaguely memorable trx and then…Adieu. You gradually settled in2 a place in the history of a medium slash lifeform that survives by eating itself. Uroburos Extremus. That is, that which is relevant now is merely a footnote 2 be forgotten in a rapidly disappearing background which gradually fades in2 a half-distant memory. Like a memory of something a friend dreamt and told you about. The background is barely there. And the footnotes? Cant be read. The citation is all wrong (and who cites anyway? How canya cite a site with a collective authorsip of a hunna thousand milli?) and they shouldnt be corrected. ‘Writing about the internet is a waste of time’ you said, ‘Just Make it, add 2 it, be inside of it, thats all that you can do.’ Is there a word for this? That sensation of digesting and being digested at once? Im sure some slightly off trend artist has made a work about ‘becoming-virtual’ or becoming-meme or some dumb shit like that. Like you even need 2 become that which you always already are. So like remember when everyone repped Imgs of palms and greek statuary? Maybe kindof sortof. Remember when chopped and screwed 80s schmaltz meant something to someone? Maybe kindof sortof. Dont hang your hat on a dying meme she said. She Said: This ones going cheap atm. The Above statues are on their way 2 the bargain bin. The concept shop is currently giving them away for a couple cents on the dollar. I type frantically: But even declaring it over may yet give it a final dance of death? No No No. Lets be real even yr not so edgy friends have heard FloralShoppe.  And they heard it in 2k14. And the game of keeping up is just a treadmill over an abyss. But its worth it 2 look over the edge and gasp once in a while. At that neverending plummet. In2 the graveyeard of less than dank memes. And trends that seem 2 still resonate with something somewhere. But that part of you that recognises them is the nostalgic part of yrself that you dont really need anyway. So on 2 the nxt one. The time spent writing this was time that cldve been spent forgetting it. So on 2 the nxt one.    -- source link
