Chillwave
Summer is long gone but the cassette is still living it.
Chillwave is a style from the Fog and Nostalgia family. 105 BPM, Weirdness 38, Style Influence 91.
Hazy synths and tape-washed vocals wrapped in analog warmth. Chillwave: the nostalgia of a summer that maybe never happened, dreamy, warm, and deliciously faded.

Sample excerpt
Un verano que recuerdo en calidad de videocasete, todo un poco lavado y un poco más lento. No sé si fue así o si lo estoy mejorando, y a estas alturas prefiero no averiguarlo.
Deja la memoria como está, que corregirla no la mejora. Aquel verano fue perfecto exactamente porque ya no está.
Workshop note — Primera persona, presente, nostálgica y borrosa. El chillwave suena a recuerdo degradado: la letra debe hablar de memoria imprecisa. A 105 BPM usa frases cortas con mucha reverberación y sin picos emocionales.
