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?"

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.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
