Special sandboxes with purple sand surrounded in velvet ropes only the cool kids know about. And with unlimited fresh lemonade, chocolate milk, and warm chocolate-chip cookies. You can almost see one during the winter solstice.
You have to pull to find it- we live in a push world now and that's why all you see is the same old crap- because people aren't searching new works out- they are just sitting around letting curators and algo's push it to them.
Not the OP but I'll bite -- I've seen some incredible counterculture emerging out of what I like to term the IRC revival, or Discord communities. Discord and Roblox have fueled the communities creating a ton of the more interesting music I've discovered over the past year.
What is a protocol, really? In a literal sense, you can say only something that's IRC compatible is IRC. But in a more figurative sense, aren't Discord communities merely using Discord the way folks use to use IRC? Isn't Discord just centralized IRC, then, because that's how people use it and what they're using it for?
Centralization poses censorship and control risks that IRC doesn't, for sure. But it also adds ubiquity. That's key for a community.
Great sarcasm by the way- its going to inspire generations of smart asses with the smooth chill it was written with. Snarky and effortless.
Its like they were so confident in their sarcastic wit they had to include the parenthetical phrase- oh wait that was added out of fear of being misunderstood by the faceless crowd- quite the brave figure.
Where is it playing?
