    Here's a simple version:
    Outrun: A digital existence within the imagination of the 80's. Radical, fast, a bit of a blend between early 80's and late 70's with neon against dark colors. Usually centered around fast, futuristic cars and bikes. Turbo-Future Police chasing Radical Punks on a laser-built road.
    Vaporwave: The ghost of the 80's, a piece of software still running, but seldom updated, left behind, forgotten, but still powered on. Euphoric, slow, leans more towards the late 80's with 90's media being a basis as well. Bright colors upon bright, if it don't hurt your eyes, then that shit ain't vaporwave. Usually centered around software, media, advertisements, forgotten pop culture. Grabbing a Pepsi while listening to Japanese Disco.

    Outrun is more of a specific part of the Retrowave/synthwave aesthetic that spefically includes cars driving into the infinite night, based on the outrun game series. the retrowave aesthetic is either a subgenre of or a cousin of vaporwave, which analyses the future through a very specific 80s sci fi aesthetic. Vaporwave as a whole analyses the future through a lens of the past, while justaposing those visions of the future, utopian or dystopian, with the aesthetic of the past from which they are derived. the use of fullwidth text as part of the vaporwave aesthetic is rooted in its inclusion of the 80s, so i wouldnt say vaporwave is just 90s based. anyway, great video on the topic, thanks for covering it

    Now, I’ve noticed something from this video that I would like to contribute to the differences between Vaporwave and Outrun. The two words I would use personally to differentiate between them, are “dusk” and “dawn” Dusk is associated with Outrun and Dawn, associated with Vaporwave.
    So now for the definitions of these two words and how they both tie in: “Dusk occurs at the darkest stage of twilight, or at the very end of astronomical twilight after sunset and just before night.” Meanwhile: “Dawn, from an Old English verb dagian: "to become day", is the time that marks the beginning of twilight before sunrise.”
    Outrun’s usage of darker backdrops and much more intense reds, oranges, yellows and even purples, instills a feeling of dusk, the time at the end of twilight, Sunset, if you will. It also uses more of the “warm colours” that we can split the rainbow into. Meanwhile, Vaporwave has a much brighter, more vibrant colour palette consisting of pinks, blues, purples and greens along with lighter backdrops. For whatever reason, I can easily associate it with the time at the beginning of twilight, dawn, perhaps sunrise even. It also, again, uses more of the “cool colours” that we split the rainbow into.
    So, while they are polar opposites, they are both two sides of the same coin. One is heads, and one is tails, and the coin is the era of the 1980s aesthetic.

      Here's a better version:
      Vaporwave makes fun of consumerism and the fake happiness companies always try to shove in our collective faces, slowly peeling away to reveal a dysfunctional hyper-capitalist future that covers it's tracks with a facade.
      Outrun is similar, except there's no facade. Only despair, nothing else.

      So Synthwave = Outrun? Does Dark Synthwave fall under Outrun too? I always sort of thought that Synthwave was the term for the overarching genre of Outrun and Vaporwave because they both utilize synthesizers.

Heck, I didn't even know about Outrun. I thought it was all just subgenres of Vaporwave art that I would never know, despite me being in this community for at least a year now.

    "I am dog, if you word, can cheese be fact?"
    Of course this qoute is absolutely exquisite in it's complexion but many simple minded people can't fathom to possibly understand it's deep entrenched meaning. As a once intelligent person once qouted " to be or not to be" this goes with our first question "I am dog" this sentence delves into the very animalistic behavior of human tendencies which leads to human speach yet I digress for the next stanza qoutes "if you word" this qoute would mean nothing more than "talk" with goes amazing with the next sentence "can cheese be fact" what this means all put together is "if humans let thier animalistic instinctual behaviour then to speak thier cheese will be fact" thus meaning that our human nature is to be one with the cheese itself and cheese being truth. Truth is a deep understanding that can be hard to grasp. . . And yet this qoute never ceases to amaze me. I am dog, if you word, can cheese be fact?

    Musically, I always saw it this way...
    Vaporwave often also seems to make heavy use of speed altered (slowed down) pre-recorded music, or put through a softening effect of some sort to simulate old VHS Audio in the mastering. The vibe is like a dead mall or urbex video where the site has minor decay....or like an old, yellowed, 486 DX2 PC from 1992 running Windows 95.
    Outrun is glossy and like if ABC, The Cars, A Flock of Seagulls, Berlin, or early P-Model released an album today using their eighties era gear or simulations thereof. Like driving a DeLorean in a grid covered road and n the future with a neon haired woman by your side.

    I honestly wish more people would see this video, it needs to be pinned literally in all big vaporwave and outrun communities like a PSA. I honestly hate gatekeeping and also didn't really mind when just a few people got them mixed up, but it has been so much more exhausting in the past few years to search for either genre without them bleeding into each other, because people making playlists, art and music don't seem to properly distinguish them.
    There's nothing wrong with blending them together, but it's a little sad that Vaporwave has lost so much of its individuality. To be completely honest, I don't even think outrun and vaporwave are that similar other than sampling old music and like... palm trees? lmao. In my eyes, Vaporwave has WAYYY more in common with Seapunk than it ever did with Outrun or Synthwave. It just makes it sooo hard to see Vaporwave for what it is, especially for newcomers nowadays. I think we should all try to do a better job in trying to politely help the internet truly understand the difference, so search engines follow suit.
    Sometimes I just want one or the other lol outrun and vaporwave are two different moods, two different forms of art that are beautiful in their own ways. They shouldn't be lumped in with each other.... they each deserve individual appreciation.

    Tl;dr: Outrun draws inspiration from the "cool" stuff of the 80s and early 90s. Vaporwave takes inspiration from the "nerdy" stuff of the 80s and early 90s.
    EDIT: Oh, shit, looks like video made a different tl;dr. Oh well, I think mine vaguely fits as well.

      I always felt that vapourwave mocks consumerism in a sarcastic way

    The way you "drew lines" between vaporwave and outrun earned you an early sub.
    Ohhh Ms Hoffsted...
