ELements that elevate nostalgia of the 90s: tv static, mall background sounds, tape/cd insert, ambient audio, phone beeps or dial up, etc.
Dead Technologies: Dead technologies refer to outdated or obsolete forms of technology that have been largely replaced by newer, more advanced alternatives. Examples include rotary phones, VHS tapes, cassette tapes, floppy disks, and outdated gaming consoles. Despite their obsolescence, these technologies often hold nostalgic value for individuals who grew up with them, and they have become emblematic of certain time periods. In the context of vaporwave, dead technologies are frequently incorporated into art, music, and fashion as symbols of nostalgia and cultural commentary on the rapid pace of technological advancement.
