ghost bazz wrote:Yeah dude... not sure why you are calling special attention to that line of copy, but in general, I think I was agreeing with what you said about the "real" lofi genre. Two of the three links support what you said about the origination of the genre.
What you are describing with youtube, and the younger generation's habits of consuming music pretty much affects all genres across the board. SoundCloud is hurting... and losing to youtube, if you look at them as offering similar things... but that's nothing new. Personally, I hate listening to music on youtube. I much prefer SoundCloud... but the model for music distribution and consumption is so fluid right now. Spotify is becoming more available as a tool for independent artists I think. I don't see SoundCloud as being relevant too much longer, outside of the truly independent artists using it to post and share their stuff... but not for "making it big" or garnering attention from labels. I don't think any pure consumers of music look to SoundCloud for anything... it's pretty much an artist community at this point.
Yeah, it's a changing model. Who knows how it will continue to evolve. Spotify seems to be holding it down at the moment, right? I like youtube for actual videos... posting a song on youtube with a visual loop or static image has always seemed pretty weak to me. Without the paid version of youtube you can only play a vid/song if its the active window on your phone. Anyone here able to speak to the paid youtube option?

Sorry guys, Keesj & myself have just been working on our regular jobs since this forum has never provided us with any form of income stream. It's definitely a shame to see that the community has suffered from this.Ill Green wrote:Whats up Wiz,
This place went full retard a while back, I left until recently logging in. I don't blame the other OGs for leaving, though they will pop up from time to time. Maybe if we post frequently they'll take notice to return but this a sinking ship, no maintenance since keesj left and motherfuckers were posting the password all over the net. Top of that, spambots are leaking in. We need this place updated and upgraded.
