-## Overview
-
-When it comes to an aesthetic that originated primarily online, there tends to
-be a lot of confusion around what falls into each specific genre. This post
-discusses Vaporwave and Outrun, which have become almost synonymous in the minds
-of those online who aren't hardcore into these genres of media. More
-specifically, Outrun is largely an unknown term while all aesthetics in these
-two genres are usually attributed to Vaporwave. For example, take a look at the
-image search results for Vaporwave: the results include **a lot** of
-Outrun-themed images. You'll find a similar trend almost everywhere.

-
-Okay, so what is Vaporwave? I'm going to just copy-and-paste some general info
-from the Wikipedia article on
-[Vaporwave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporwave), so that I'm not repeating
-everything you can already search for online:
-
-> Vaporwave is a microgenre of electronic music, a visual art style, and an
-> Internet meme that emerged in the early 2010s. It is defined partly by its
-> slowed-down, chopped and screwed samples of smooth jazz, elevator, R&B, and
-> lounge music from the 1980s and 1990s. The surrounding subculture is sometimes
-> associated with an ambiguous or satirical take on consumer capitalism and pop
-> culture, and tends to be characterized by a nostalgic or surrealist engagement
-> with the popular entertainment, technology and advertising of previous
-> decades. Visually, it incorporates early Internet imagery, late 1990s web
-> design, glitch art, anime, 3D-rendered objects, and cyberpunk tropes in its
-> cover artwork and music videos.
-
-This is an excellent summary, and it helps address my point here: there are
-specific aspects that make Vaporwave unique:
-
-### Time Frame
-
-The time frame for references, logos, etc. focuses mostly on the 1990s in
-Vaporwave. You'll see old school Pepsi logos, Microsoft 95 screens, tropical
-plants, classic marble sculptures, and many references from Japan's influence in
-the 90s.
-
-### Art
-
-The color scheme is generally a soft, light palette that uses pastel colors. The
-backdrop will often be in a light-pink or teal blue.
-
-### Music
-
-The musical genre of Vaporwave incorporates soft tunes, lounge music, and sound
-effects that will make the listener reminisce of the 90s. The sounds of the
-genre are generally slower-paced and calming. The major breakthrough artist for
-Vaporwave was [Macintosh Plus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vektroid), who
-released the album
-[Floral Shoppe](https://archive.org/details/MACINTOSHPLUS-FLORALSHOPPE_complete)
-in 2011. Another more recent example is the artist
-[sadbert](https://sadbert.bandcamp.com/), whose latest album incorporates the
-upbeat tones of the 1999 Dilbert TV series.
-
-Notice that Vaporwave doesn't include things like racing cars, futuristic
-technology, chrome, or the deep orange/purple color scheme. Vaporwave is a focus
-on the idyllic state of the world when technology was becoming common in
-households, a reality that we have already experienced. Focus on the most
-aesthetically-pleasing parts of that past is a large part of Vaporwave.
-
-## Outrun
-
-![Outrun](https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20210328-vaporwave-vs-outrun/outrun.png)
-
-Now, let's get to Outrun. This one is a little trickier since the genre has
-largely been lumped under the Vaporwave title for so long. However, it stems
-from the [Synthwave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthwave) music genre and is
-likely named after the 1986 racer game,
-[Out Run](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_Run).
-
-### Time Frame
-
-Outrun can be thought of as a retro-futuristic aesthetic born from the 1980s.
-
-### Art
-
-The color scheme uses a very dark color palette with the main colors being deep
-oranges, blues, and purples. Red edges are common around objects in Outrun art.
-The background of the Outrun aesthetic is almost always a neon grid like you'd 
-expect to see in Tron or a 1980s arcade machine.
-
-Classic sports cars, chrome robots, computer generated graphics and fonts, and
-the occasional use of rain or palm trees can be found in Outrun art.
-
-### Music
-
-This aesthetic has a more aggressive and fast-paced style of music, which tends
-to match the subject of the art in this aesthetic.
-
-Outrun enthusiasts love what people in the 1980s thought the future would look
-like. Take a look at a common video game discussed in Outrun circles, Far Cry 3:
-Blood Dragon:
-
-![Fry Cry 3: Blood Dragon](https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20210328-vaporwave-vs-outrun/far-cry.png)
-
-Another example that doesn't force the color scheme as hard as some online art
-does is Kung Fury:
-
-![Kung Fury](https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20210328-vaporwave-vs-outrun/kung-fury.png)
-
-![Kung Fury Hacker Scene](https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20210328-vaporwave-vs-outrun/kung-fury-hacker.png)
-
-## Conclusion
-
-While Vaporwave and Outrun share similarities, they are two distinct aesthetics
-with many important distinctions. Someone who enjoys one may not necessarily
-enjoy the other, so it's important to make sure we properly describe the
-aesthetic we're looking for.
