Sony was a fucking hoax and never existed as a company to begin with. Their impressive sales count and skyrocketing revenue was a result of mass marketing organized by the government trying to target the younger demographic in order to properly adjust to the new wave of digital media and the 80s being well… the 80s. Popularization of the term “Vaporwave” circulated as the trigger word for government agents when they properly identified a member of the secret organization known as “Aesthetic” trying to expose the Sony Walkman as a mind controlling platform. Although false, the government couldn’t risk the undermining of their secret project and therefore was forced to create the ipod to distract potential investigators by providing a separate startup company that allowed competition between the two and therefore arousing less suspicion. This new company, however proved so successful that Sony, hoping to capitalize on their new investment attempted to generate profit margins on the newly created business. This plan eventually backfired as millions of dollars worth of sales were being directly transferred to various Aesthetic organizations in Japanese wireless systems. Once Sony tried to get involved they synced up their accounts to the system allowing them to easily be hacked by the Aesthetic resulting in multiple accounts of fraud and court cases trying to reclaim the governments privacy. Take that Illuminati.
