Description
Babbling Corpse: Vaporwave and the Commodification of Ghosts by Grafton Tanner is a fascinating exploration of the vaporwave music genre and its broader cultural significance. Tanner examines how vaporwave, often described as an ironic or nostalgic electronic music style, reflects our relationship with consumer capitalism, technology, and cultural memory in the 21st century. The book delves into how vaporwave reuses and remixes sounds from corporate muzak, 1980s and 1990s pop, and retro-futuristic aesthetics to critique the relentless commodification and recycling of cultural artifacts. Tanner argues that vaporwave is more than just an internet meme or a hipster music trend—it serves as a cultural commentary on late capitalism’s obsession with nostalgia and the haunting persistence of dead media and forgotten futures. Through this lens, Tanner explores themes like hauntology, the ghostly return of past cultural forms, and how vaporwave artists engage with the remnants of a promised utopian future that never came to be. The book also touches on broader issues of digital life, including how technology shapes our perceptions of time, memory, and authenticity. Babbling Corpse offers a unique, accessible, and thought-provoking analysis of vaporwave as a soundtrack to the haunted present, making it essential reading for those interested in music, cultural criticism, media theory, and contemporary art movements.
