      S3RL isn’t hurting from TickTock views. Boi has been deep in the raves for the last like 30 years. He’s a legend in his own right.

        I know, but seeing the Nightcore uploads that are just lazy speed and pitch up edits of his early works like Pika girl, that get 30m views and his own OG upload is 3m makes me as an wannabe artist sad

          Yeah but you have to aggregate all of his views, plus album sales, and concert ticket sales, to get a true picture. He has artists on his payroll who do his vocals. Hes doing well. I pump him everyday through his channels. There are smaller artists out there getting fucked, S3RL isn’t one of them. Shit, he started with Pretty Rave Girl just about, and thats a remix of a Basshunter song.

      It’s DJ Satomi with an i. I like his Waves nightcore mix so much I went and found the original and applied the nighcore myself to get it in higher quality lol. I haven’t heard of S3rl so I’ll check them out.

      S3RL is a pedophile. If you ever get a chance ask jole what DNA Lounge has to do with being forced to stop doing live shows.

    Worse is when it’s on fucking Spotify as well.

    Get that shit the fuck out of my playlists, if you’ve got the original then play it ffs. And not just the second half either.

    I’m already bracing for Love Is a Long Road, but just the first 90 seconds of it because that’s what was in the GTA6 advert and that’s all these people have the attention span for.

    It really is a huge issue. And when you see stuff like this you kinda understand why the RIAA takes the approach they do.

    There’s this genre of music in Brasil called funk (don’t confuse it with american “Kung-fu fighter” funk, is way different). And people do “mixes” where they slow down and add reverm to the songs, but now the own funk djs are releasing song that are slowed and revermed from the lets go, without releasing the original song. Idk what’s the idea behind that, im supposed to look for a speed-up non reverm mix now. Also, those slow down reverm version suck big time, except when are done by actual Djs in parties, there are pretty cool cause you can feel the bass making vibrations on your chest.

      Are you talking about phonk maybe? This is a super common trope in the genre for sure.

      While writing this comment I looked up Brazilian funk and realized that Brazilian funk is actually an offshoot genre of phonk, neat.

        Brazillian funk cames from the 90s Miami bass, it had evolved a lot over time to what is now with a lot of different local variations. You can’t barely recognize the original funk for what is popular now.

        Looking for phonk it’s dosen’t really sound close to what I call funk imo, but there was this other video whit “Brazilian phonk” that is what I call paulista’s funk, and what im listening more nowdays that I moved from Rio to São Paulo and I’m getting to know the local techno/funk scene. If you like phonk, listen to DJ K’s Panico no Submundo album, its basically phonk, but still have the base Brazilian funk rhythm.

            I tough Brazilian and carioca funk were basically the same, but was called Carioca on Brazil and Brazilian outside of Brazil. I guess what im listening now is phonk and not funk anymore, even when they always wrote “funk” on the genre of the parties (checking out the app where I look for parties, there’s only two where they said phonk instead of funk, but they also said that play anime intros and k-pop and you can miss me with that lmao)

              Phonk has also been very distorted since its origins, with drift phonk basically taking over as the commonly seen style.

    I’ve always wondered why artists don’t cash in and do this themselves.

    Do the ones who do just not get popular or is it some sellout thing, or has nobody genuinely tried to do it regularly with their own music?

      I would guess that, after working on perfecting a song for weeks or months, it feels very weird to completely change it in 2 minutes by applying 2-3 transforms/filters and releasing that as a separate version

      I’ve seen more and more artists doing this kind of thing themselves lately. I think in the past artists were more upset with people making more successful versions of their songs just by speeding it up and found it would not be as intended if they released it like that themselves.

      Plus, saturation is probably something to consider, if you make a sped up, a remix and whatever else for every single song you release your original, thought out pieces will get a little lost in the noise.

        Yeah what I was thinking of was more on your last point. Especially with digital releases. Seeing three songs back to back for every new track might be okay for legit music push to the world, but it would look like notification hell.

        Honestly I think the larger part of it is cultural tradition. How dare you listen to my music and lyrics in the way you like it. It’s meant to be this way!

        Por que no los dos?

      At least one did, it was a great clusterfuck of who ripped who and back n forth versions:

      Oliver Tree - Jerk (Sped Up)
      Oliver Tree & Robin Schulz - Miss You (Sped Up)
      Southstar - Miss You (sped up)
      Oliver Tree & Robin Schulz - Miss You
      Southstar - Miss You

      Look harder. Theres tons of good music out there still being made.

      Here a free modern rock streaming service. No ads no bullshit just a DJ playin music and chatting with/to the audience and musicians

      Whatwasthatradio

      Former Radio DJ started his own online music station because of how much good music wasnt allowed to be played on commercial radio.

      (If anyone cares i support him on patreon when i can mods if im not allowed to plug this free service ill delete and my apologies)

          Sorry didnt mean to come off as a dick if thats how you read it.

          just trying to help connect you with good music because ive put a lot of effort into recapturing the feeling about music i had in the 90s and ive been able to by not listening to the radio. I think the best thing for me was to find other people who are waaaaay more connected to whats going on out there and letting them serve the roll that radio used to for me

          Peace and love and excellent music to you friend

            Haven’t listened to the radio in over 15 years. Don’t regret it at all. Most of my favorite new music comes rarely, through some form of word of mouth, and usually by supporting the new music on patreon or something.

    I find a lot of music in Instagram reels that I wouldn’t have otherwise. I really don’t mind if there’re remixed versions especially if it only helps to bring more views to the original artists. Obviously I’m not for it if it takes away views but I don’t see any data that supports this.

    The best is when the original artist gets ahead of this and releases those mixes officially as well.
