Oh man, that would make it into The New Yorker.

I'm starting to like this whole stockwave idea.

My initial point of confusion came from the genre name.
Skwee was known primarily for using stock presets from 80s digital keyboards.

Personally, I don't see how this genre is going to result in a cohesive sound/style, when the pool of sounds being used is massively heterogeneous and all types of processing are allowed.. (and THEN we're supposed to forcememe LSDJ on top of it?) Going on name alone, I was imagining a genre restricted to yamaha portasound presets.

Perhaps I had a bit of a knee jerk reaction, like when 'chillwave' kids stopped slowing down 80's new wave and moved on to mining new jack swing for source, thus resulting in the necessary 'vaporwave' rebranding.

...at least they had better taste in clip art, though.

I am 100% guilty of not reading the first post closely.

uh, i think you guys might want to google 'skwee'

I think that the tendency to focus on the hardware chip itself as the source of "legitimacy" within this particular scene was discussed very well in this thread.
