yeah its definitely a conversation that goes along with the devaluing of music convo

for people that dont actually love music/shows/movies and just see it as background content

Life is convenience everywhere lol

papi algo enjoyer

y'all love the state and whatever the media forces down ur throat

make music consumption great again, have niggas actually go out of their way to find new music, connect with it, cherish it please

what happened to the game that i loved

it's insane because niggas used to complain about guides and topsters for music discovery but at least an actual person sat down studied, absorbed the music, and put that topster/guide together for people to sit down and work through an artist

now the middleman is cut out and a robot is doing all the legwork

I find all my music through KTT

There are plenty of good movies coming out these days that have absolutely nothing to do with streaming or Netflix, what are you talking about? Just the fact that you’re conscious of the fact that Netflix is making slob tricks you into thinking the entire film industry has gone to s*** when it hasn’t.

u not a #REALISTENER

this needs to be it's own thread fr

I’m not even joking those recommendations playlist are horrible at picking good music, that’s why I don’t understand why yall feel so threatened

fuc.that.shit!! we are in the streaming and playlist era there is no need to go crate digging

ive been using that ai dj thing and all it really does is pull from the s*** you mostly listen to anyways.

im ribbing you bro

it isn't just about the actual content being s*** it's just the principles behind it is what im saying

spotify playlists based on snapshots of certain scenes, moods, whatever u wanna call it are super cool, having someone that actually aesthetically comprehends and understands what songs to fit into these themes and stuff is a crucial component of what makes them great and allows a proper mood to get captured (if you're even into these sorts of playlists anyways)

having an AI do it is just a mockery and soulless, it genuinely isn't that serious ig but it's hella lame and that's what we're really driving at lol

tweaking brother

the hunt is half the fun

thank god lets please remove all those fake "curator" jobs

we hate playlists

I see this as an easy and direct way to find new music. Spotify algorithm is pretty good when it comes to recommending new stuff. Way better at that than AM

idk i feel like this is too big of a generalization. i’ve been posting on this site since 2010 been on /mu/, rym, the works but my favorite band atm i found through a random spotify suggestion. i did obviously check out the rest of their discography, follow them on social media, see them live etc. but i never would have come across them without being “spoon-fed” the recommendation

im more talking about the people who arent dedicated music fans who wouldnt make that connection that you made. and anyway im not really trying to say theres something inherently wrong about using it or finding s*** you like through it

not trying to generalize this to every single case, just saying its worth discussing if something might be lost to the overall music world as this becomes more and more dominant in the landscape

Pandora invented

Isn’t that just….Pandora?

Didn’t even see this lmao
