There's a sub-genre that dubs Vaporwave songs with Simpsons clips that has tens of millions of views on YouTube:

It is indeed very real. Surreal, even.

Come & Get Yo Wig Split! (heavily sampled in one of those Ryan Celcius videos)
It's literally the same as vaporwave, but with fascist titles and graphics. Reminds me a lot of neo-Nazis appropriating metal and punk.
Vaporwave is a weird genre. It's really popular on the internet, but it never quite hit mainstream, I don't see clubs playing it and most of the artists seem to be self-releasing. A vaporwave artist had a gig here in Melbourne a couple of months ago (I can't remember who it was now), and I thought about going along just to see what kind of people actually listen to it in real life.
There's no message in the music, just the YT video. If you like the music, so what? No need to be ashamed.
A lot of the fashwave stuff sounds great, and no one is going to know why it's considered "bad" by listening.
Another original artist is Xurious, who does sometimes include spoken word in the tracks (I recall at least one with Woes in it).
I also wouldn't conflate Trumpwave with fashwave. Trumpwave imagery is of course popular with the TD crowd, fashwave not so much when they realize the associations.
None the less, if you like the music, no need to self flagellate.
Edit: wait the Trumpwave video isn't fashwave, and isn't CybernΔzi. I assumed you were referring to the vice article.
