Vaporwar 

Vaporwar is a niche genre of music edits that involves military footage synced with music. The themes vary but are usually trying to create a sense of nostalgia and or grandeur. Despite being called 'Vaporwar' the music doesn't necessarily have to be Vaporwave but is often rock or new wave. In spite of the similarities with Fashwave the intention of Vaporwar is not to invoke or instill far-right beliefs on the viewer, however, they can overlap in certain cases. But it does not reflect on the genre as a whole.

Prominent Vaporwar YouTube channels include, 'War Aesthetics' (now defunct), Mauzer and Majorsamm.

Vaporwave 

A musical genre with 80s/90s/early 2000's capitalist pop culture that create the feeling of "Artificial Happiness" that was commonly capitalized in advertisements before 9/11.

Now, people watch Vaporwave as a nostalgic remnant of the past that allows you to truly feel the satire of Post Modernistic art and culture whilst also feeling how that Post Modernistic art is just another by product of consumerism and capitalism.
"Do you like Vaporwave?"
"No dude - its just 80's songs slowed down and sounds like shit."
"You really don't understand Vaporwave, do you?"

Vaporwave 

A music genre that takes songs often from the early 2000s, 90's and 80's and slows them down drastically using a computer program, and looping a certain part. The song may or may not have filters placed on it as well.

Vaporwave is also associated with a certain type of aesthetic often found on Tumblr involving bright colours and nostalgic images from the 90's.
Vaporwave music is so strange

Vaporware 

When a company tries to sell you a product that doesn’t currently exist. But it is “coming soon.” Very rarely does it actually ever materialize.
Show me what you actually have, I don’t buy vaporware.

vaporware 

Anything (usually software, but can be anything) that is promoted and marketed without ever actually being produced.
When I started Vaporware Records, I did so with the idea of never making an album but starting chaos none the less.
