Future funk is a sample-based form of Nu-Disco which formed out of the Vaporwave scene and genre in the early 2010s. It tends to be more energetic than vaporwave, incorporating elements of French House, Synth Funk, and utilising vaporwave editing techniques. Like vaporwave, reverb effects are prevalent, but the music is generally less ambient and more rhythmic, with more groove. Japanese vocals from other songs, especially City Pop music and anime soundtracks, are often used as a main source for samples.
