Until that time, it's just going to be thought of as sweaty neckbeards making shitty edits in Photoshop. You could even make a Photoshop action that does 90% of the work in one click.
>nudge red channel a few pixels>add placeholder smart-object to the center>add placeholder VHS text>marquee select random horizontal lines>nudge those lines left or right for "epic glitchy hacker" effect>add scanline pattern overlay>slap VHS noise on top if you're feeling friskyAll that's left to do is replace the placeholder text with an edgy quote, and replace the placeholder smart object with a statue or historical figure.
You'd be done in like 2 minutes. Maybe even less.
I've got nothing wrong with fashwave or laborwave, with the exception that its content is piss poor in terms of aesthetics and quality.
