>What is the artistic movement attached to the alt-right, or rather what artistic style should be applied to the alt-right in order to give the movement a greater sense of cohesiveness and consistency in a visual sense?

It's some kind of synthesis of Traditional form and post industrial disillusionment of the human condition, but in a way that embraces this existential pain in a surrealist fashion.


The retro-future theme fits surprisingly well with fascism. Despite accusations of it being reactionary, it has always had a "pushing forward to the future" vibe to it, hence the heavy emphasis on scientific progress and the abandonment of outdated systems like monarchy you typically see out of traditionalists and reactionaries. The only reason people accuse it of being a conservative ideology is because it chooses not to abandon the nation’s cultural values, but embrace them instead. We've just become so accustomed to "progress" being a liberals wet dream that we forget what true progress is about.

I feel that if we understood and revered greco-roman appollyonic aesthetics, understood that art deco was the last sincere and healthy artistic movement, and occupied and controlled vaporwave from that vantage point of greco-roman -> art deco -> vaporwave -> anti-degenerate aesthetics, we'd have something like a movement with integrity.

The potential with these orthodox styles is that they might appeal to the more Bohemian type of people who would otherwise go on to become hippies and hipsters. They could be drawn in by the aesthetics and then get redpilled with incremental exposure to the ideas of the alt-right.

It's important to note that, too much classicism and the images could look like they belong in a museum, and too much contemporary design and the sense of what the movement seeks to return to is lost. It's striking a balance between the forward- and backward-looking.

>This is about synthesizing existing styles to match our purposes, not simply replicating them.

It's about wanting to dial back "progressivism" to more traditional ideas. The statues convey that. However the -wave aesthetic helps put "going back to the past" in perspective for modern people. The 80's/90's are a "modern past" that the common people alive now can mostly relate with.  If it was all just classical art, people would write off the movement as unreasonably "ancient" and pretentious. 

Its also about reviving a sense of history and the mere brute fact of our heritage. It’s completely obscene how ignorant supposedly educated people are about the past, how little sense of history, the extent of the disconnection. Jihadis who blow up our airports reference crusader battles that happened 800 years ago in their tirades but modern west has no sense of being connected to anything outside of living memory. we're captive to "presentism" and the concomitant mental febrility, paralysis and stupidity in the face of threats. You see this in libs being unable to make comparisons to anything beyond WWII or harry potter or whatever shit low-middle brow TV show they happen to be watching.

V A P O R W A V E HISTORY & FUTURE                                                        .

Vaporwave began with a sort of post-ironic anti-consumerism bent, which lines up vaguely with what we are after (authentic identity and culture based on kin, not on (((commodified))) neoliberalism). It  is a parody of consumerism, but it's also a nostalgic celebration of it. Vaporwave is both the realization that consumerism isn't everything and the celebration of the pleasures of consumerism. The "-wave" aesthetic will continue to transform and morph into ever more novel concepts depending on our memes. This isn't a rejection of the classical but this music and overall a e s t h e t i c appeals to our kali yuga age. 

Over time, we will develop that perfect mixture of classical and modern. Right now we are merging the 80's with Roman sculptures but eventually we will find unique elements that give 80's art vibrance and connect it with the present day.
ON MODERNISM                                                                                             .

Modernism sprouted from the Bauhaus, a german design school that was pretty fucking much the frankfurt school for design. most of what they created was distasteful and existed in a cultural vacuum, this was post-war germany and they had nothing to celebrate like chicago did.

   In order for our shared vision to fulfill its highest expression of honesty and power it needs to carry the scars of postmodernism. To attempt to push away and forget about the damage it has wrought on our culture is to cast away anything that might be salvaged from that colossal waste of time and human energy. I believe that vaporware does this somewhat by mocking a postmodern aesthetic. Probably humor/mockery is a good way to carry those lessons with us.


COMMON THEMES                                                                                        .

⦁greco-roman 
⦁80's retro neon vibrancy
⦁postmodernism & distinct irony
⦁deliberately crude & DIY(similar to the aesthetic of MDE)
⦁futuristic themes with classical greco-roman base
⦁emphasis on aesthetics helps separate the notion of white identity from fat spergs/skin heads and dorky cuckservative stiffs in order to gain wider appeal
⦁VAPORWAVE - youtu.be/pp1NWRDl0pI & synthwave - megadrive.bandcamp.com/track/crimewave-2 / megadrive.bandcamp.com/track/dataline-2 & whatever GESAFFELSTEIN is.
⦁avoid anime unless you’re really into it(not a marketable aesthetic, too cringe for normies)


MEMETIC WARFARE                                                                                      .
 
What is it that separates our memes from normie ones? The normie creates a quick giggle, superficial and empty. Equivalent to a Big Bang Theory episode. What makes ours last and transform forever? Truth, to be quite entirely honest with you. Truth is permanent. Aesthetic ideals are permanent. A more transcendental truth, not what it feels like 'when u nut but she keep succin'.

>Why be so obsessed with aesthetics? What are you, a faggot? 
There are certain things that people respond to on a physical level, that are much more powerful than intellectualizing. The language of our mythology is part of the structure of being, of reality, and OUR reality as European peoples, genetically and culturally distinct from others. Part of the deal with all the classical art/myth references in vape wave is that all of those old ideas and forms are still alive and in us, they just have to be seen in a new light. The gods never went anywhere. The son must revivify the father.

Some say that an appreciation of the arts is the beginning of wisdom. I think that in order to control ideas, you have to be aware of some of the unconscious, archetypal, symbolic effects of various forms. you need to have a lucid awareness of why it's important to use red here, instead of blue, for example: what red means compared to blue, why a line should be drawn at one angle rather than another. these are something like sub-memes, memes that people don't interact with consciously but which impact their behavior. Corporate elite have this down to a literal science, and there's a lot of information out there worth studying. anyone interested in this would do well to obtain a torrent of all the fortune 500 company fonts and logos, and browse through them.

VARIATIONS ON A THEME - BY COUNTRY                                                  .


The image on the Left is an awesome 80s blood dragon look that fits Trump and America perfectly.

Britain's should be cozy, traditional and cheeky. Basically a pint with nigel farage, phil harding and afternoon tea with marine.


Germany should be subtle so as not to alert (((critics))). I don't know how to change it for Germans other than photos of grandparents and having to wait until everyone else is uncucked so as not be "liberated". Something as tame as (Left) with just a reference to Evola’s book is cool and might get a few people to Google the phrase and (Right) could bring a warranted sense of worry for the future.

Nords should adopt cozy, traditional and clean looks. Like a volkisch futurism. 

Leafs are fucking hopeless because their culture died with the Red Ensign. Now they think shit coffee, zaney flavoured chips and hockey are the be all end all. 


Mediterraneans should go with history, family and happiness. They'll be fine. 

France needs to embrace its romantic image, traditional family the same as with Germany, grandparent photos and memories of past glories.


AND FUCK LEFTISTS                                                                                      .
