Talk:Chillwave

basic musicians...
I think there should be a few basic musicians and artists of the genre to keep it from getting out of hand since the genre is more of a blanket term that a lot of people have included certain artists that don't fit the description of most other artists who were grouped in with it.

origins
if this genre exists, lenny kravitz is directly the inventor of the genre, you just need to hear some old lenny kravitz records to know it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvzLcyXGB4w just a sample, but all his first records are really near toro Y moi

So if the conclusion is to keep the chillwave, why hasn't anyone removed the deletion template?
Chillwave should definitely kept.

Night bus is more trillwave than chillwave. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.248.9.162 (talk) 19:21, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

why is there no mention of hipster runoff here? that seems like almost an insult. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.47.86 (talk) 04:36, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Capitalization
Why capitalize chillwave? There are confusing double standards for spacing and capitalization amongst waves. For example, ethereal wave is almost never capitalized. Dark Wave assumes New Wave's capitalized standard, but I have to think erroneously. New Wave earns its caps based I guess on representing much more than a musical genre. Presumably for the same reason Bronze Age is capitalized. Pixel Eater (talk) 03:30, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

South Park s15e07 - You're Getting Old
It seems this genre was the subject of the latest South Park episode, referring to it as "tween wave". If so, I think that deserves a popular culture section in this article. —Darxus (talk) 15:12, 14 June 2011 (UTC) Phil Thomas Katt

That was about dubstep — Preceding unsigned comment added by BROBAFETT (talk • contribs) 02:38, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Who is this guy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.252.23.84 (talk) 22:48, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

What?? I thought it was quite obvious that it was talking about the lowering age of Walt Disney pop artists... such as One Direction and Justin Beiber. You know, the ones that are marketed towards "tweens." So, no. That Southpark episode was about pop music, not dubstep or chillwave. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1017:B006:4FD0:0:2D:4E09:7001 (talk) 16:52, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Chillwave synonymous with Glo-Fi?
I think it would be prudent to reconsider the position this article presents on Glo-Fi, which (in my opinion) is distinct from Chillwave. The Pitchfork review simply states that the term is "useful", and only as it pertains to Washed Out. They are referring to an individual artist, NOT an entire genre. I will attempt to find some references to back my argument. StillHere83 (talk) 16:03, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Chillwave music tends to have a slower, laid-back tempo. As while Glo-fi has a much brighter, peppier and upbeat vibe. They're cousins, but not the same thing. --Zephyrxero (talk) 20:55, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Should the synthwave subgenre of the same name be mentioned in the article?
About 5-6 years ago, around the peak of the synthwave genre, a calmer, less 80s/retro-influenced variant of it developed called chillwave or chillsynth. It's a type of synthwave with vaporwave and dream pop elements, as well as atmospheres reminiscent of Tycho's music. YouTube channels like Odysseus, Astral Throb and Electronic Gems upload songs and playlists from that genre, and it's represented by artists like Hotel Pools, Krosia, Home, and A.L.I.S.O.N. Some examples:     While often it's just called synthwave due to belonging to that umbrella of genres, or chillsynth, more often than not it's referred to as chillwave on YouTube, Spotify playlists etc. as well by the artists themselves, with a lot of fans not aware of the original late 2000s dream pop microgenre this article is about. Is it worth mentioning this alternate use of the term "chillwave" in this article? 2001:7E8:C00E:D600:D54F:6F57:3DE5:370E (talk) 11:09, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
