What is vapor twitch?
Whilst some Spotify users might only just be seeing the genre vapor twitch for the first time on their Wrapped in 2021, the genre has been appearing since 2019.
A micro-genre of electronic music, ‘vapor’ can be best described as having a foggy, ethereal sound, whilst ‘twitch’ adds post-futuristic EDM beats.
Artists in the vapor twitch genre
Vapor twitch not being a widely known genre has caused many Spotify users confusion as to which of their favourite songs fall under this genre.
Some of the most widely listened to vapor twitch artists include Galimatias, NGHTMRE, Lido, RL Grime, What So Not and DROELOE.
The Sounds of Spotify profile on Spotify, which creates a large number of playlists to listen to, has created a ‘The Sounds of Vapor Twitch‘ playlist with nearly 600 songs that fall under the genre of vapor twitch.

For the past few years following each Spotify Wrapped release, Twitter users once again post their confusion over vapor twitch and 2021 is not an exception.

Vapor twitch has until now remained a niche genre, but perhaps with so much buzz around its name, vapor twitch could be at the top of many more people’s Spotify Wrapped next year.
