Chillwave is a music microgenre that emerged in the late 2000s. Coined in 2009 by the blog Hipster Runoff, the term was crafted to mock microgenres and independent artists whose musical styles resemble the incidental music found in 1980s VHS tapes. Key figures in the genre included Neon Indian, Washed Out, and Toro y Moi, who garnered attention during the "Summer of Chillwave" in 2009.

Chillwave is characterized by its use of hazy and lo-fi production techniques. The genre often incorporates warped and distorted sounds, and tracks typically feature lush synthesizers, washed-out vocals, and slow tempos.
