I mean albums that initially had from few to dozen ratings are rapidly gaining hundreds of ratings and bolded status as if it's a well known classic, people in the reviews even pretend as if they were raised on such music. Is this some kind of psyop, who's behind this and what's the end goal?
>>129865442Some people are really big fans and start pushing it and if it's actually good it gets "discovered" by a ton of people?Also thanks for the rec.
unironically tiktok
>>129865442It just happens. Sometimes it's through organic word of mouth in specific fandoms. Sometimes it's because of a renewed discussions surrounding the artist/label/movement. Sometimes it's through reissues (see the Numero Group label and their emo re-releases). Sometimes it's >>129865464. And so on. It's not that strange.Although I will say I have never understood how Duster, of all bands, became massive with Tiktok users. That one never made sense to me, and I like their music.
>>129865500Didn't fucking Whitehouse get a resurgence cause of tiktok? Not the strangest one.
>>129865500That specific Duster song is short and melodic, ideal for "nostalgic" edits. Same with that Beach House song.
>>129865543I didn't know about that one but it is kind of understandable in the sense that it's ''shocking'' and immediately digestible hardcore music that's bound to get over with impressionable teens and lend itself well enough with sub-1 minute long format. Meanwhile Duster is, at least to my ears, the opposite of ADHD fueled music. Might as well predict that a horde of tiktokers will swarm bands like Codeine and Hood.
>>129865442I blame crate digging vinyl culture. That stuff birthed the idea that unknown things are actually better than popular things because 'muh obscurity'. That turned into the monster that is Numero Group, which in turn influenced a legion of zoomers to use the internet to inflict bullshit forgettable obscurities on a mass audience in some effort to have their own culture that is actually just the scraps of the previous generation that were not good enough to even pretend to like.
>>129865442shilling it everywhere you can>>129865464this
>>129865442by being good
>>129865442gonna listen that album now thanks
>>129865442Do you know how big the internet is? An album with 239 ratings isn't popular.
Well, just like major label music that majority of radio play was paid for now you have to pay for streams and stuff, but most people can’t afford the bot farms to stream it to get it charting or trending, etc. but now it’s emerging to become more accessible to less well-known artists. And then in turn when people are shown this music because it might be trending or whatever they get, recommended it then it naturally picks up some fans and starts getting bigger.But it’s never really an organic thing unless it’s literally some band that started in your town then started playing around colleges or festivals or whatever. when it’s online it’s all manipulated until it starts reaching more and more people. But there’s no spontaneous Genesis moment where people start discovering it. It’s actively pushed by bot farms to manipulate trending/charts.Also, if you get caught doing that and you’re not signed to a major label though to try to ban you so they (corporate media) have the ladder pulled up in a way, but you can still get away with it
>>129865442Like this anon, you shared it on here now it's gonna get even more ratings. Many communities out there like this, a couple hundred ratings aren't that big anyways.
>>129865442Most people are retarded sheep, so if they see someone they follow liking something or a site they like is putting an album on the front page or giving it a high review, that means they too must "like" it.
>>129869375>being in touch with the culture is... le bad!this is why /mu/ is a dead board
>>129865639>Might as well predict that a horde of tiktokers will swarm bands like Codeine and Hood.damn i hope this never happens they're too good for zoomers
>>129865464And instagram reels
>>129869601Nah it’s the moderation that enables wpop/kpop spam
