Simpsonwave is a visual and musical subgenre that emerged in late 2015, popularized by creators like Lucien Hughes on YouTube. It combines nostalgic clips from The Simpsons with vaporwave tracks and heavy editing techniques such as VHS degradation, neon color shifts, and glitch effects. The result is a surreal, melancholic atmosphere that evokes feelings of 1990s nostalgia and existential dread. Usually featuring characters like Bart or Homer in contemplative or lonely poses, the meme captures a unique 'sad-boy' aesthetic that resonates with digital natives. It successfully transformed a mainstream cartoon into a vehicle for lo-fi art, proving that even a childhood staple can be reimagined as a moody, neon-soaked reflection on modern isolation and memory.
