Not a direct relation but tiktok is just so big nowadays for the music industry and especially young people, it's hard for there not to be some correlation between sites

Sadly this app has alot of that, renders the toplisteners entirely pointless to the point where I just ignore it

As a long-time fan of the genre since I first discovered it in the 90s, I can't complain. (Back then, I wasn't aware of it as a "genre". I stumbled upon Lush and Catherine Wheel first, who were presented under the umbrella of "alternative," but later I discovered sub-genres, that there was this distinctive style they had in common with other bands.) There have been some explanations put forward - TikTok could be part of it, but there's indications that it's not all. One YouTuber tried to do a survey, and the folks under 25 cited "word of mouth" far more often than TikTok. Of course, my bias is to say that once people heard it and gave it a chance, its excellence was just obvious. But it's probably more complicated. Shoegaze is more personal, internal, contemplative - maybe well suited for the Covid era. It's generally apolitical, it's not party music (maybe afterparty music?). But I wouldn't read too much into those explanations.

genuinely sad & strange! Reid Dunn makes wonderful music, he doesn't deserve this.

Industry plant + she doesn't even make her own tracks, support the real artist behind this project like grayskies, photographic memory and kraus.

Building Dragons is an absolute masterpiece. For some reason it makes me think of Discworld

every time people complain about this, please tell me how to reasonably implement an automatic split based *only* on the mp3 metadata, because last.fm does not work like streaming services, it is older than most of them, and if you understand how last.fm works there's no way to implement this that'd not be tedious, annoying, and require a lot of moderation effort. and also, this is a dead website.

thanks for answering my rhetorical question! i wasn't actually asking why, but yea ur right! i'm aware it can't be separated easily because when i check artist plays on my profile it always ends with /artist-name-here so that's how artists are detached from one another but it obviously won't work if there are multiple artists under the same name. but HEY! can still vent my frustration because i like both artists and would like to see both stats separately because ermmm that's what this website is meant for... statistics.

Gave the new Wisp a listen. It was okay. Not really my thing but I can see why some people like it. Still think Reid Dunn is way better though. Wish her the best.

Like six or seven years ago is when I really buckled down and started really getting into music in a big way, and Shimmering Hour was one of the first albums that I found that wasn't like this pre-established masterpiece in all the elitist musical communities, like it was the first semi-obscure album that I really enjoyed without having a bunch of outside validation telling me why I like it. It was mine and it was a truly personal experience. Over time it became my official winter album. I dunno. I think Shimmering Hour really has a lot to do with the development of my tastes in music. Like the feelings that it gave me are the dragon that I chase to this day.
