Of all the generally recognized subgenres of Vaporwave, Broken Transmission (sometimes known as Signalwave) is sure to be the most obscure, thanks in part due its somewhat abrasive nature.

Much of Broken Transmission includes heavily chopped and degraded audio taken directly from old television recordings, particularly from The Weather Channel and various news broadcasts, blanketed in a thick, warm buzz characteristic of VHS recordings. Tracks often end as soon as they begin, as if flipping through late-night tv channels.

Pioneering artists in this subgenre include midnight television and INTERNET CLUB, with some especially noteworthy contributions from # 猫 シ Corp., in particular their haunting 2016 release News at 11, which is comprised almost entirely of news clips on the morning of September 11th, 2001.

The list of titles below is not exhaustive.
