Where would I start learning about this?

I’ve been wanting to stop using samples for vocals (copyright protections be damned, I just dislike jumping to a Splice sample or pack a friend shared) and I was debating on a vocaloid but also I make future garage and rap over it so my genre is already a weird mix lol

Edit: nvm, I see you did provide links. Gonna try it out!

Appeal to Nature fallacy. MAHA runs on this and a lot of thinking that leads to the alt-right, so good on calling this out.

I used to live in a very “crunchy” area with hippies and would catch weird speaking points occasionally, it picked up over the last few years and now they’re all MAHA or adjacent.

While the movement is piece of the past, I would argue that the fight for equal rights continues to this day.

What you said thought doesn’t add up to my knowledge though — Civil Rights was fought for roughly from 1950-1960s. The Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964 when Boomers were turning 18 and the last year of their generation. This would mean that the people in the streets protesting and/or voting weren’t boomers but the silent generation and their parents.

I’m skeptical of Songtradr but BandCamp standing against AI and continuing BandCamp Fridays is still a bigger positive than any other streaming service (even though BC is more of a purchasing platform).

No PE is good but they’re not making evil moves yet compared to Spotify or even Distros like DistroKid.

Personally, Epic Games owning them was the best thing possible as they knew nothing about it but that worked? It was truly a golden era.

I’ve been ignoring my phone (I work in sales so I don’t have much outside of my outreach) and reading more. I deleted all social media in 2024. I am slowly putting music onto my phone and soon to stop streaming entirely (I stopped Spotify years ago as I make music and hate them). I do think I’ll keep BandCamp as they’re cool so far but I feel the biggest way to fight is to take your attention back.

Life wasn’t this fast and anxiety driven before they shoveled these apps and content into our faces. I feel it messed with my CNS but who truly knows.
