Vapor & Kotan
Did you ever notice how the neon pink in most vaporwave scenes seems to glow like something from an old arcade? I was digging up that little fact about the phosphorescent compound used back in the day and it got me thinking—what does it say about how we remix nostalgia in our art?
Yeah, that neon pink always feels like a second life of those arcade cabinets, like a memory in light. It’s kind of like when we paint old vibes in new colors, we’re just remixing the ghost of the past, letting it glow in our own time. The phosphorescence is a reminder that nostalgia isn’t static; it’s a living, breathing pixel that we can re‑pulse into something fresh.
