    Radio is organic guys

    More organic than fake streams.

    Radio is obviously a lot of payola too, but at least we were all listening and actually knew the hits unlike today.

    Steve's hit wasn't payola fam, what???

    I know absolutely nobody irl or online that I’m cool with that knows this song or really even him. I know he’s from the internet, but that’s it. This blow up feels so inorganic honestly.

    There’s nothing more inorganic than a single platform with such a monopoly on listening habits that it forces everyone to know specific songs that were payed for lol

    You can romanticize it and dress it up as “we were all united” all you want, but there was nothing organic about it

    Bags are secured when your songs pop off somehow

    Fanbases are built when people start saying you saved their lives or w/e

    You can tell the difference in dedication between, for example, Taylor Swift fans and Katy Perry fans. One of them was able to survive a flop era and the other totally cratered because the fanbases were legit with one and not the other

    It’s an interesting question, what kind of fanbases can truly be built on TikTok based around snippets of songs? It’s still possible but it’s more difficult I think

    They never gonna say Steve impacted them like they say Frank did.

    Just got back from his NYC concert and everyone knew the lyrics this time

    He’s not as good of a writer and he hasn’t created a vivid sonic world for his music the way Frank has. You could tell Frank was special even before his debut and Steve is still making incremental improvements to make solid albums.

    Still, Steve is a great musician and gave us a classic with Bad Habit. Hopefully he gives us more.
