Collection: Chillwave

Chillwave is a dreamy, nostalgic genre that emerged in the late 2000s, blending elements of synthpop, lo-fi production, and ambient textures. This atmospheric style encompasses a wide range of subgenres, from the hazy, retro-inspired sounds of synthwave and vaporwave to the intimate, DIY aesthetics of bedroom pop and lo-fi. Chillwave often features washed-out vocals, shimmering synths, and laid-back beats, creating a sonic landscape that evokes feelings of warmth and melancholy. The genre's influence can be heard in various offshoots, including the ethereal tones of dream pop, the experimental nature of hypnagogic pop, and the futuristic vibes of future bass. With its global reach, chillwave has inspired regional variations like French indietronica, Taiwan indie, and German cloud rap, while also influencing more niche subgenres such as mallsoft, vapor soul, and slushwave.
