ROBNSS

In this version of ROBNESS" Generative Pop series, he has paid homage to the Helios bust which is now a famous image of the internet based music genre Vaporwave.  Now moreso a stamp of aesthetics in said genre, presented here is a dedication to a genre that oddly grew globally just like the cryptocurrency world did, in a decentralized fashion.  Made famous by the album cover "Floral Shoppe" by musician Vektroid"s alias "Macintosh Plus," it has become the de facto visual style and imagery of the genre unto itself.

"Vektroid"s alias for Floral Shoppe was Macintosh Plus, named after the computer of the same name.[2] The album is frequently cited as an example of the then-emerging Internet-based vaporwave subgenre,[3] along with works from other artists released by the record label Beer on the Rug.[4] Prior to Floral Shoppe, Ramona Andra Xavier had previously produced other chillwave and vaporwave releases under multiple pseudonyms, including Vektroid, Laserdisc Visions, dstnt, and New Dreams Ltd.[4] Adam Harper of Dummy, in an article about the vaporwave culture, described the album"s content as "chopped, glitching and screwed adult contemporary soul alongside twinkling spa promotional tunes."[4]

Xavier takes an unorthodox approach to sampling throughout Floral Shoppe, with "voices slowed to wordless drawls, tempos abused at whim, [and] snippets mashed over each other at clashing time signatures."[5] Material sampled throughout the album includes several songs from new-age group Dancing Fantasy"s 1993 studio album Worldwide,[6] various funk and R&B songs from the 1980s,[7][8][9] especially Diana Ross" take of "It"s Your Move",[10] the soundtrack for the 1997 video game Turok: Dinosaur Hunter [5] and the 70s-80s soft rock band Pages.[11][12]" - Wikipedia
