Well, I saw this video (In spanish). This guy makes a really fair research with LG5 and the info we know about it at this day.

Vaporwave is a music genre and art movement that emerged in the early 2010s among Internet communities. It is characterized by a nostalgic or surrealist fascination with retro cultural aesthetics, mixing genres like new age, indie, witch house, chillwave,lounge, electro, the old (Warren, Elton, Nile Rodgers) with the new (Ronson, Bloodpop, Parker) Vaporwave is characterized by its heavy use of samples from late 70's, '80s like funk and early 2000's music, lounge, smooth jazz, ambient it also has slow sounds, almost hypnotics (Remember what Billboard/Gary Trust said about the some uptempo stuff, some slower stuff) 

They are also credited with an aesthetic: influences from the cyber punk less aggressive, the most bold from the 80's, New Romantic, by the 90's. The Surf style, Hip-Hop aesthetics of the 80's, Japanese letters , styles of the 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's or even current trends such as sunglasses mirror colors, through a mixture of all styles of the 80's of the most colorful and flashy, sometimes with hairstyles. Punk Fashion, New wave more colorful, dark glasses elongated style 80's RayBan.

REALITY

Certainly is interesting... I love the really bright and eclectic aesthetics—giving me ARTPOP teas.

Looks psychedelic

But didn't Mark say that the album would analog? Isn't that a foil to vaporwave?

Daenerys

I JUST discovered Vaporwave and LOVE IT. I would be slayed if she incorporated that genre into her sound. That and synthwave too. Both are amazing!

Darko is this you? :huh: are you promoting yourself? Hehehehe

OT: although the video has very good points of view, I still don't know what to expect from LG5 and that is really scary.

AHS: LG5; the scariest season ever:giveup:

 

What if tomorrow I see you again? Should I say that I used to love you?

Someone just made a good thread about analog that I think you should read.

I kinda makes sense tbh and the pics Gaga has posted on Instagram look very vaporwave actually so the question is can Gaga pull this one off?  It's a huge risk and it didn't work for ARTPOP so... Gaga good luck if this true
