Music Hot Takes or Unpopular Opinions? I’ll give one. Not even hot, maybe spicy. Nickelback aren’t rock or post-grunge. They’re country. I’ll accept even AltCountry They’re also not awful, I don’t understand that bandwagon submitted by /u/NoviceDannyel

Do you pay for music? Are we doing our jobs as consumers? In the streaming age, how are we as music lovers supporting the creators of the art we consume, and this our responsibility? Creating music takes dedication, time, blood sweat and tears. How are we rewarding amazing art so it continues to shift and shape our lives in all of the amazing ways we want it to? …

Live music Wassup people, So, I love live music. Doesn’t matter if it’s an awesome vocal piece, a great case of guitar shredding or a violin tugging on those heart strings. Genre or vibe doesn’t matter, I just love the fact that someone can do that ‘thing’ so good live. My question to you reddit people is, what is your one must listen live music piece that…

Why aren’t streaming services investing in re-negotiating music rights from older hit sitcoms? Old sitcoms are finding new lives on streaming services, while streaming services are investing millions to gamble on new shows. Meanwhile, audiences are dying to re-watch shows that never had a life on DVD after their initial run because they didn’t secure the proper music usage rights. I’m thinking mostly about the millennial hit Ed, but also …

If music can’t be written down, scored, will it be remembered? I’m not claiming to know the answer to this, I’m curious what thoughts are. We have musical notation from 3000+ years ago! (Different notation obviously) But paper lasts longer than bits. From Bach to the Beatles – folks pick up a guitar and the score and play it. But whether it be solar flare, mega virus, nuclear war . . . or just time. If some…

What’s a music video that has stuck with you? Mine is “Lost But Never Alone” by Oneohtrix Point Never: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6iKPkxfljBY Randomly stumbled upon this video the other day. Both the video and song channel a weirdly eerie and melancholic vibe that I had not felt in any other piece of media before. submitted by /u/blackmasschic

You Can Transfer Music Between Spotify and Apple Music I recently posted about the best music streaming service for different kinds of people, and it made me realize that the reason I stick with Spotify isn’t because it’s the best or I love it so much. It’s because I have a playlist consisting of 1,823 songs I’ve “liked” over the past five years or so, and I could never… Read more…

For those who make a living with music, how do you do it? Next year I will celebrate 10 years of being an independent guitar and music teacher in general, giving private classes here and there and also working in a call center seasonally. However, this year I dedicated myself completely to music production. I have produced a song a week, and despite the enormous amount of experience I have acquired, I …

What’s a genre of music you don’t “get”? I like to think I have a reasonably broad taste in music, but there are two types of music that I can’t get into however much I try: blues, and reggae. I don’t deny for a moment that there is talent required to produce both these styles. But they both just leave me completely cold. Blues strikes me as basically just complaining set to an incredi…

Music decision paralysis With Spotify and other streaming platforms, does anyone else get decision paralysis? I find it hard to settle on an album to listen to. I remember it being simpler when I was younger as I was limited to the cds I had. And I would listen to the same cds over and over and they would become part of me. Now music seems throwaway. I’ve thought about …

Who do you think had the best music video? Music videos used to dominate the industry, and they still hold a lot of sway these days too. If you didn’t have a video to go with your number one hit, then you could forget about it. For me, that video has to be “California” by Wax, with (link to video in comments). It’s one of the several music videos directed by Spike Jonze. It’s simple ye…

Apps to add music Hello! I am wondering what are some good recommendations on apps that allow you to put music on videos. I work at an aesthetics spa and we have been trying to upload various videos. However, Instagram won’t allow us to pick good music (it’s all off brand). We have tried various ways to be able to add music to videos, but none have work. If there…

5 year old independent music listening I have a 5 year old and our family is a music household – I normally stream from my phone on the house speakers. I want her to have her own way of listening…she has an Alexa, but unless my daughter knows exactly what to ask for, it’s not that simple. I was thinking of a usb drive and a regular radio situation, but truth be told, I OWN almost no…

What’s a song you love that has an absolutely terrible music video? What do you think is a great song, but the music video for it is just atrocious? It could be one that doesn’t fit the song, or it could fit but is just terrible for a different reason (baffling/bizarre moments)? This is, in my mind, among the worst music videos ever made for any song ever: “Deep Inside Of You” by Third Eye Blind. It’s an incredi…

I’m really digging flute solos in music, I need more! Recently, I’ve gotten into acid jazz and fusion, and I love it when a flute solo comes on in a song. Some of my favorite examples thus far include “Ring of Saturn” by Cory Wong and Dirty Loops and “Just Another Story” by Jamiroquai. I want to listen to more music with flute solos, what songs should I listen to? submitted by /u/lucasneverm…

I don’t understand music subgenre labels at all I just listen to music casually and passively and I don’t know anything about music theory or genres. When people say terms like “post-rock” I have no idea what they’re talking about, so I google the definition and its vague and unhelpful. Then I try to listen to a few bands labeled as “post-rock” and I’m not any closer to understanding. I’m won…

I want some new music to listen to I am wanting to branch out my taste in music, because all i listen to is christian and country. Please send me some good new music to listen to! submitted by /u/Dragon_Slayer9194

How should we be sharing my photos on instagram with music artists? So the thing is that i recently started taking photos with some music artists i know, and my plan is to basically take photos on concerts and other stuff, like recently i had my first this sort of gig, and was shooting some photos when they were making a music video. I plan on doing more stuff like this in the future, and since im not too savvy …
