Nice PFP :)
death’s dynamic shroud. I don’t do vaporwave much anymore, but I can sit there and listen to a dds.wmv tape for an entire week on repeat. Personal recommendations are the “Evangelis” tape, and the “I’ll Try Living Like This” album.

I’ve yet to come across someone else who also likes them, that’s awesome! I really like “I’ll Try Living Like This”.
Might not be that obscure but Ratatat. No idea why it’s not a mainstream success.
Yes, Ratatat! I learned about them through Kevin Rose back in the Diggnation days.
Try Karst - E.VAX, it’s another project from one of the ratatat boys.
Just got around to listening to it, the Ratatat sound is there immediately, I like it!
Whitewoods, also known as Bug Your Parents.
Made somewhat popular by Pyrocynical from his use of their song Beachwalk in his outro, along with Whitewoods revolutionizing Vaporwave by basically founding the genre. However many of their songs are extremely obscure and I assume that absolutely no one knows who they are.

12 million views, so definitely a hit, but they are overall very small and obscure in the grander scheme of things.
