[Discussion] I'm unsubscribing after seeing the response to the Future Bass thread. TheEternalWoodchuck

Completely unacceptable. Even the people not completely shitting on OP for having a new interest in a genre, (literally the point of this sub is finding new music), were criticizing them for finding an interest in a genre that had more than a dozen goddamned listeners.

The popularity threshold and the subsequent elitism has completely ruined this sub. This community used to be a celebration of people's journeys into music appreciation. Now you can't even show people foreign music they've never heard before because it's popular in its home country. You won't allow people in that didn't catch on to a genre when they were too young.

The future bass thing took off like a decade ago, if OP is 18 then they'd have been 8 at the time. Exactly how damn nuanced do you want an 8 year old's taste in music to be?

I've been subbed for years and this is the end of it. It was a slow descent, but the camel's back is broken. You're officially the incels of music.

As the title says, I'm pretty sure the friend's job was specifically to listen to & archive music from the early 1900s, but in particular, musical artists who were lesser known and not popular and well-distributed white artists, so basically the obscure stuff. They want to share their knowledge with the world by creating a blog & sharing playlists based around specific ideas, along with adding in some historical context, but didn't seem set on how to go about it or get readers. In our talks, I asked if they'd considered sharing their knowledge with reddit, but they're not much of a redditor and said they weren't quite su
