Vaporwave has been interpreted as a dystopian critique of capitalism[10] similar to cyberpunk.[11][9] Christian Ward of Stylus stated that vaporwave is a reflection of soulless techno-corporatism.[9] The genre was also described as ironic and satirical or truly accelerationist by Adam Harper of Dummy Magazine, who argued that the term vaporwave itself is also reminiscent of a passage from Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto, all that is solid melts into air.[
