It also likes Twitter and pseudo-punk shit. Rich, Western, Meta, quasi-Pomo Meme-pop kids.
Conceptually, seapunk continues to exist in line with electroclash, witch house, and chillwave, partially appropriating and mutating its aesthetic tactics and meaning sets. It is an eclectic but cohesive meta-texture. Like LOLcats and pedobear, seapunk is an inside Web joke that feeds off its own ridiculousness.
