Unless you were largely cognisant during the late 90s, it's very hard to get across to you just _how_ bristling with positive energy computing was back then, just **look** at this opening screen, it screams "ARE YOU READY TO LEARN MOTHERF*CKER?!".

It has dolphins, in the clouds. How many smartphone apps welcome you with dolphins in clouds?

#vaporwave looked at the busts of Mozart and the dolphins in the clouds and thought that it meant “this is trippy” and not “universal shared hope”. This is a metaphor for how modern computing is all about looks with no actual meaning or message.

@Kroc As we later learned, most people hated that and wanted to be angry at strangers and buy things instead.
