Anachronism: chronologicalinconsistency in some arrangement, especially a juxtaposition of person(s), events, objects, or customs from different periods of time


Vaporwave: art movement [3] [4] that emerged in the early 2010s & was first characterized by its heavy use of samples from late 70's, '80s, '90s and early 2000's music, typically loungesmooth jazz. Samples are often pitched, layered or altered in classic chopped and screwed style.


In a sense these two styles are very similar, they both take samples from different eras & combine them to make something new. You could even say that the vaporwave style is an anachronism in and of itself. 
i took an iconic image, Shakespeares Hamlet clutching a skull & brought him into modern times through the copy & skew style. The more i thought about it, the more i came to the conclusion that Shakespeare would probably fall in love with todays world, especially the technology. & emojis.
