A GENRE IS BORN
"stockwave"
a contemporary experimental form of electronic music; a tribute to all things stock (i.e., shutterstock.com; freestockmusic.com)
the least offensive of all genres, stockwave is as underwhelmingly pleasant and non-descript as its source material.
jump on the bandwagon while it is still royalty free!

I listened to it and it's good background music.

I could fucks with this, dunno how to be un-offensive in some eyes tho.
It's more like a new name for a genre that has already been created.
this will be great for my windows movie maker AMV made using only images from the google image search of anime!

all must bow before the great John Oswald
not really a genre as much as a production aesthetic

i could see that, but i guess it would depend on how you define a genre.. i would consider vaporwave to be a genre where some people would say it is whatever genre it is drawing from/mimicking- i.e. lounge, smooth jazz, etc.
stockwave and plunderphonics are completely different
Can't agree with this. Stockwave might be a "subgenre" of plunderphonics, if you even consider plunderphonics a genre in the first place.
Realistically, plunderphonics is like chipmusic, a set of tools. Stockwave seems to be the making of a particular kind of music using plunderphonic techniques and very specific source material.

i see what you're saying. i guess the main difference (though not the only) would be in the philosophy of the two genres. all of the material used in stockwave is royalty free (even the picture on the album cover which still has its watermark) and it is specific in that it references a certain type of forcibly "nice" media found in the stock music/images world; whereas john oswald sort of went out of his way to use copyrighted material without paying royalties- not to mention plunderphonics is pretty broad and unspecific as far as its general sound is concerned. i see them as pretty different, with the only big similarity being that they are both sample-based genres.
you guys are arguing over some fake shit that just got made up

my "argument" was a joke about chiptune arguments that completely went over your head
