Being the new
kid on the block, Vapor Soul is a music genre of debated origins, some say it was only invented by spotify in their wrapped yearly event as a marketing ploy, others believe that it is just the kids new trend. But to the attentive listener, they
will notice that this kind of
music has been slowly defining itself and growing its repertoire artist after artist for the past decade.
Vapor soul is a vibey mixture of Deep
House, Electronica, Indie Pop, Hip Hop, ChillStep,
House, usually with some lofi
aesthetic (but is far from a requirement) and filling you with a genuine and warm feeling of peace of mind. An obvious comparasion with Vapor Wave is to be made, where some could argue Vapor Soul to be a blend of modern non ironic
music with the "vapor" in Vapor Wave.
