What it is, what to hear first, and what sits next to it.
Future Funk is a sibling of Vaporwave, tending to be more energetic, incorporating French House and modern Nu-Disco but with the techniques of vaporwave (and in a minor way Chillwave). The music is sample-based and reverb effects are prevalent, resulting in more of a groove feeling than its predecessor. Japanese vocals from other songs, especially City Pop music, and anime soundtracks are often used. While Synth Funk is usually not mentioned by future funk artists as an influence, its participation in the development of this music is clear. .
