Recommended Parameters

ParameterValueWhy
--ar7:4 or 16:9These aspect ratios are ideal for wide, cinematic cityscapes, emphasizing the sprawling nature of vaporwave environments and allowing for more visual information to be captured.
--s100-750The 'stylize' parameter controls how artistic Midjourney is. A higher value (up to 750) can enhance the dreamlike, painterly, or abstract qualities often associated with vaporwave, while a lower value (around 100-300) can keep elements more recognizable and crisp.
--q2Quality '2' provides a good balance between detail and generation time. For complex scenes like vaporwave cityscapes with intricate lighting and architecture, a higher quality ensures finer details and better overall composition.
--v6Version 6 offers the most advanced understanding of natural language prompts and improved coherence, which is crucial for generating specific aesthetic subgenres like vaporwave with all its nuanced elements.

Pro Tips

  • 1Experiment with 'TIME PERIOD' to evoke different eras of nostalgia, from '1980s arcade' to 'early 2000s internet cafe' to 'ancient Roman future'.
  • 2Utilize specific 'COLOR' palettes like 'neon pink and electric blue', 'soft pastels', or 'desaturated purples and greens' to define your vaporwave subgenre.
  • 3Incorporate classical elements (e.g., 'Greek statues', 'Roman columns') juxtaposed with futuristic architecture to enhance the 'A E S T H E T I C' feel.
  • 4Play with 'LIGHTING TYPE' such as 'neon glow', 'flickering CRT', 'sunset haze', or 'rainy reflections' to set the mood of your cityscape.
  • 5Add keywords like 'glitch art', 'VHS static', 'broken transmission', or 'datamoshing' to introduce digital distortion effects for a more authentic vaporwave look.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Forgetting to specify an 'ASPECT RATIO', which can lead to cropped or less impactful compositions for expansive cityscapes.
Using overly generic terms for 'VISUAL STYLE' or 'COLOR', resulting in images that lack the distinct vaporwave aesthetic.
Not balancing retro and futuristic elements, making the image lean too heavily into one extreme rather than the unique blend of vaporwave.
Overloading the prompt with too many conflicting keywords, which can confuse Midjourney and produce inconsistent results.
