Use of Greco-Roman statues Is the use of Greco-Roman statues in some vaporwave art meant to draw parallels between the fall of Rome and the fall of capitalism? 

When I first became interested in this genre I kind of assumed the use of Greco-Roman imagery was just meant as an amusing non-sequitur, but now that I’ve had ample time to overthink this, I’m wondering if there’s a deeper meaning. 

While this certainly does not apply to the genre as a whole, there definitely seems to be a satirical or even anti-capitalist element to some vaporwave. The music and artwork is often awash with themes of impersonal dystopian sterile mall wastelands, and even an ironic deification of consumerism. It seems the perfection of the human form in these figures is being compared to the perfection and convenience of a corporate sponsored future, in a very tongue in cheek manner.
...or perhaps I'm reading too much into this.
