I never had The Weather Channel growing up, but I get to listen to music inspired by it in this fantastic Vaporwave inspired playlist.

Those that did, how true is this music to the original channel's music?

according to the website they played a lot of jazz and instrumental stuff, but I was surprised to see songs by The Smiths, The B-52s, Moby, Smashing Pumpkins, Aphex Twin, R.E.M., Sublime, James Blunt, and Pink Floyd. They must have had a decent budget to license those.

I credit TWC and weatherstars with giving me my interest in technology. I was so blown away how it “knew” where I was.
