What is Vaporwave SREF style

Vaporwave is a digital art style rooted in '80s and '90s nostalgia, incorporating elements of surrealism, kitsch, and early internet aesthetics. This visual style is defined by a high-contrast, often desaturated base overlaid with extremely vibrant neon colors like magenta, cyan, and electric blue. Key features often include geometric abstraction, glitch effects, and wireframe grids, as seen in the composite imagery here. When crafting a prompt for Midjourney, specifying these distinct color palettes and digital distortions ensures the retrieval of this distinctive, melancholic yet vibrant retro-futuristic look.

Vaporwave Prompt Ideas

  • A lone figure standing on a glowing wireframe grid landscape, electric magenta sky, digital distortion overlay, retro 1980s album cover aesthetic
  • Portrait of an Asian woman with circular glasses, high contrast black and white photography style mixed with neon cyan and hot pink graphic blocks, glitch art elements
  • Surreal still life composition of tropical plants and pineapple, rendered on a low-poly grid, saturated neon color scheme, dreamlike atmosphere
  • Abstract digital collage combining natural landscape photography with heavy horizontal scan lines and glitch artifacts, bright lime green and purple palette

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
