    What am I looking at? Is this a genre that’s just popular in East Asia, or is something else going on?

      Probably some vaporwave derivative with westerners using Japan as an aesthetic

      I like the music, wish I didn’t use Japanese to seem “mysterious”

        Isn’t it more supposed to be evocative of the time period of the bubble years?

    This is endemic to basically all of V A P O R W A V E not just this one nich subgenre. Pick a smooth jazz song, slow it down, add some reverb and give it a new title in Chinese.

      I know, but I can’t screenshot every vaporwave subgenre, there are too many

    Some of these I get it, others I think just use Japanese because they like it or whatever. That being said, I like desert sand feels warm at night, and of all the ones I listened, the best is probably modest by default, which is leftist. Here’s a pretty good one: modest by default - the curse of colonialism series
