Simpsonwave is a particular phenomenon popular on YouTube. It refers to a specific kind of fanvid involving The Simpsons. The sub-genre takes Simpsons clips from the first few seasons (specifically season 1 to early season 11) and combines them with vaporwave. It began to form in the mid 2010s and has since become a signature of the vaporwave genre. Why The Simpsons is used so frequently is unclear. Some fans theorize it's due to how nostalgic the series is for many and because it's heavily associated with The '90s, similarly to the 80's nostalgia that permeates the vaporwave scene. The mundane nature of the show's characters is also believed to lend an air of relatability to Simpsonwave.

The songs themselves are usually simplistic tunes with Looped Lyrics, also a common feature in vaporwave. Simpsonwave videos have a heavy "video era" Decade-Themed Filter and resemble highly degraded or multi-generational analog videotapes, with a lot of visual glitching, mis-saturated coloring (most often being oversaturated), and static. This genre is also known as the "Sad Simpsons" video because Simpsonwave videos usually serve as sad deconstructions of the series; "Sad Simpsons" is also used for videos featuring sad rap songs. Most take away the comedic element and focus on the psychology of the characters. Some manipulate clips to create a new narrative separate from the cartoon itself. This makes them similar to a visual version of a Dark Fic.

Despite the name, not all videos use vaporwave music. Sub-trope to Fanvid and Vaporwave. Related to Dark Fic. See also Future Funk, another Vaporwave sub-genre on TV Tropes. Examples: |

Super Eyepatch Wolf discusses Simpsonwave in "the Bizarre Modern Reality of Simpsons", remarking that the distorted and lost aesthetic of these videos eerily reflects the actual show's state of being nowadays as it continues airing several decades after its initial context. | |

Regular Show: a l l g i r l s are the same is about Mordecai after his girlfriend broke up with him. It uses Juice WRLD's "All Girls Are The Same" (which isn't actually a vaporwave song). r e m e m b e r me uses rei brown's song "Picture Frame" to show Mordecai's melancholy after a break-up. |
