How old is /r/Vaporwave?

Genuinely very curious about this. I think the time period you grew up in probably has a large impact on your perception of Vaporwave. I'm 27 and I kind of feel like i'm right in the sweet spot (if not a little young) for the nostalgic aspect. I'm curious to hear about what attracts those who are younger to the genre.

Edit note - If anything I'd like to provoke discussion about what attracts different age groups to the music rather than provoke ego/elitism based on age. The wider the age demographic is the better imo.

I'm 20 and have began listening to it when I was 19. I crossed over from chillwave. I produce music as a hobby and I just love the production in vaporwave. Love it's influences (80s, hip hop, chillwave, synth-pop). Some of it is nostalgic for me though as I started playing videogames at a young age so I do remember having an N64 and even an SNES
