One of the cool things about vaporwave music videos is that they often recycle imagery from 1980s car commercials. A good example of this is the remixed version of Luxury Elite’s Strut, which inexplicably goes with a slowed down Mercury LN7 advertisement clip.
I wasn’t able to source the original ad from where the green, EXP-related FWD Mercury has been snatched, but suffice to say, there are ethereal matte painting landscapes, artificial fog and a trained lynx. Happy viewing!

It’s great. The only thing ironic with this one is how a decade so full of optimistic technological progress would produce such uninteresting cars, in the US at least. Forever a leading star in my movie world, and sort of related:

Two posts in the past few days that make me say ‘Murilee, is that you?’

I had to Wiki it: “Vaporwave is a music genre and art style that emerged in the early 2010s from indie dance genres such as seapunk, witch house, and chillwave.”
Gee, I have no idea what any of those other genres are, either. I have officially become my grandfather.-
It’s music that sounds like it’s from an ’80s action movie.

Hug me, I’m from 1979 🙁

Don’t worry, me neither.

Ah the sphere and bobcat Mercury ads! The original tune had music by Vangelis. Ford did this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJAqSfMRz9Q

Every time the EXP is discussed, I hear Casey Kasem saying, “Two, as in he and she, you and me.”
