Fed up with the boring sounds of average vaporwave, Chinese Hackers decided to reinvent the genre by creating a new style: vaporgoth. Before making vaporwave music, Chinese Hackers had recorded industrial music under several different aliases. Using those dark and noisy inspirations, the 17 year old decided to meld industrial grind with vaporwave to birth a new sound and put a bleak spin on the anti-capitalist genre. Chinese Hackers also drew on his own time in Hong Kong by imagining his songs playing in various landscapes throughout China.
