Linked a playliist of songs I made, hope you guys like it. I think they all sample different songs iirc. My issue is that I don't know what genre they are. Please tell me if you know what genre they fit in!

I hate that you want to fit your music into a label so badly.

When you do that, you make artistic compromises to appeal to more people who listen to that genre. Don't do that.

Just make music.

Always loved btbam referring to themselves as adult contemporary progressive hardcore metal. Just make it up. Let the fans decide. And when they do, ignore it.

Dont make art to appease fans. Just make art.

I enjoyed it 😎

Oh I'm mostly looking for the genre/similar genres to get more exposure and see what other people are doing. I don't have any fans to appease😭

But yo like, dont! You shouldn't want to find other artists fans through your artistic relationship to them. It will make you want to be more like that and less like what you made.

Be the thing that someone else tries to sound like.

You know that people choose what to listen to, based on stuff that they're vaguely interested in? Make it up that your music is rap, and I won't ever play your music except by mistake.

And before you label me as 'set in my ways', it's evident right in this community more than anywhere else that I listen to more outlandish stuff than the majority of people. But I don't give a shit about rap and never will.
