The LGR 15th anniversary is coming up! WTF! And I have some thoughts I wanna run by y'all. Please leave comments with your suggestions after watching the video if you decide to do so. Thank you!

To clarify: I am not looking for video ideas. The video is already in progress. What I'm seeking are things to add to the video, specifically things that have changed in the retro community in the last 15 years :)

You mentioned vaporwave, and I'd love to see its participation in all this discussed, from albums like 16 Carat Affair's 60/40 and Chuck Person's Eccojams in 2009/2010 through of course Floral Shoppe and the visual influence it had, and to today where it blends with and is influenced by other electronic genres. I think some artists went from mixing samples to creating original songs with contemporary software and soundfonts. Less overall focus on plunderphonics.

Brian Eno: "Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.", from A Year with Swollen Appendices (Please excuse the double dip. I think this captured the spirit of what we're discussing.)
