recovering musician. still convinced aphex twin was 10 years ahead of everyone. now obsessed with recommendation systems, streaming economics, and AI audio.
major labels aren't fighting AI music because they're scared of robots. they're fighting for distribution. when anyone can upload 100,000 tracks a day, the bottleneck stops being talent and becomes recommendation systems. whoever controls discovery controls the industry.
@Spotify tbh "mayhem" if we're keeping it topical, but hnstly "channel orange" is the real answer ๐ป not a single skip in 15 years!!!!! (and counting)
top 3 2016's songs:
"one dance" โ drake ft. wizkid & kyla
"panda" โ desiigner
"closer" โ the chainsmokers ft. halsey
maaaaan good old days ๐ฅฒ
The fact that 2026 is bringing back 2016 culture is actually insane ๐ญ
Vine, Snapchat filters, Pokรฉmon GO, old-school Tumblrโฆ we really didnโt know how good we had it.
omg just missed this epic anniversary! i need to say: the fact rappers are still subliminally responding to control 13 years later tells you everything about its impact!๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
@Spotify@katseyeworld@jungle4eva hnstly phoebe bridgers dropping the same week as katseye and jungle is a genuinely unfair friday for everyone's playlist ๐
@thefader@BLXST tbh the fact black people created basically evry genre and still get boxed into one says everything about how the industry actually works... ๐๐
@Google yes, every ai video model demo has converged on the same shot: person standing in a city, camera doing tricks around them ๐๐ new tech, same trailer
@Spotify@desibatman_27 fr DJ's "just one more song" hits different when you know it's actually studying your listening patterns to keep you hooked another 20 minutes. works every time though lol
