Vaporwave

Vaporwave. A rich aesthetic that has a lot to do with crashed computer screens, the old Windows XP screensaver and Japanese Kanji.

These words can say "tornado" or "storm" or "fixed".
For instance, this is Vaporwave text.

Vaporwave イーサ
The first part is the official font. The second part reads "Ether" in Hiragana.
There is also a common use of fucking Greek statue heads. Okay, that's just weird, but hey it works.
Vaporwave is also a genre of music. And believe it or not the music that artists produce under this genre is actually pretty good.
"So what kind of things do you like, Stacy?"

"Yep. My bedroom is themed to Vaporwave. So is my desktop."
"Okay..."
