Nuja 🫶🏾Nov 18, 2021Maybe I’m just thinking too deep into it but I feel like there should be a documentary on how music forums were so dominant the first half of the last decade. I’d say mainly around the culture of leaks and how streaming services were pretty much the direct answer to kill it all. I feel like there’s a significant amount of interesting lore between different forums and specific situations like Take Care, Wolf and Good Kid MAAD City where s*** got out of hand.
I mean I can’t imagine too many people caring realistically, but I feel like 2010-2015 was a very significant period in time for forums that almost feels erased or didn’t happen. Nowadays we just wait on Thursdays for the next album to drop that night. It’s almost hard to believe there was a time where we all gathered around weeks in advance some people not sleeping at alll looking for leads on leaks and the lengths people went through to get them. I mentioned Take Care earlier. Mfs ran a 13 year old girl off the Internet trying to get her to leak the album. Just realized that same kid would be like 23 now which is wild. Mfs was harassing a man’s job at Burger King trying to get him to leak GKMC. Those are just a couple of examples but there are so many stories and situations even where artists directly responded I feel like will all go forgotten one day if it’s not documented.

obviously i am biased in how interested i would personally be in such a documentary but i agree there are a lot of compelling stories and that era of the music fan's relationship to the music industry mediated by the internet (via forums, not social media) is really interesting/in danger of being completely forgotten

The forum’s mostly twentysomething, mostly male regulars communicate in short, hurried jabs of thought, writing as if they have better places to be even though, to judge from the frequency of their posts, many of them do not.

Also another thing to throw in is how DSPs essentially killed the mixtape era too. Like there’s going to be a time soon where people think sites like Datpiff and HNHH are just news sharing sites and will have no clue they hosted mixtapes for artists to release on their platform. People might not even know what a mixtape is at some point regarding the youth

Nov 18, 2021It's not a reach. Music forums been important to music culture since the dawn of the first music discussion board on the internet.

At any point of the day, it’s not unusual to find more than 6,000 active KTT users engaged in conversations spread across hundreds of unruly threads, some of which span hundreds of thousands of messages. To an outsider, the forum is practically impenetrable, an infinite scroll of emojis, memes, s*** posts, and in-jokes
No way there are 6000 ppl in this s***hole
