Synthwave vs Vaporwave合成波（Synthwave / Outrun） 对比 蒸汽波（Vaporwave）
How to tell them apart: the deciding signals, and the exact changes that would turn one into the other. 怎么分清这两个：判别信号，以及一个变成另一个需要的具体改动。
Synthwave合成波（Synthwave / Outrun）
Vaporwave蒸汽波（Vaporwave）
This is Synthwave because…这是 Synthwave，因为……
This is synthwave because it renders the 1980s as a polished, cinematic hero shot: near-black canvas, neon magenta/cyan, chrome-gradient sun, infinite grid floor, and a driving forward motion — nostalgia played straight, not sampled and degraded.
这是合成波，因为它把 80 年代渲染成一幅抛光的电影英雄镜头：近黑底色、霓虹品红/青、铬渐变太阳、无限网格地面和向前的推进感 —— 怀旧被正正经经地演绎，而不是被采样并做旧。
It would become Vaporwave if…如果……就变成 Vaporwave 了
It would become vaporwave if the palette washed to pastel pink-to-cyan, Greek marble busts and Windows 95 dialog boxes appeared, VHS scanlines and chromatic aberration took over, and the mood turned dreamy, ironic collage instead of heroic soundtrack.
如果配色被洗成粉到青的粉彩、希腊大理石雕像和 Windows 95 对话框出现、VHS 扫描线和色差接管画面、气质从英雄式配乐变成梦幻讽刺的拼贴 —— 就变成蒸汽波了。
