I wish I could attach photos here but I started a new band account and the first few posts I did in July all did well with reels of me playing guitar. Then I did a collab reel post with band members and that did really well. Then starting in like August, collab carousels did okay and eventually did poorly. Reels so far have TANKED. I was getting 1000 views minimum before even with 65% skip rate. So I improved hooks and video quality and now I’m down to 25% skip rate but reels are only being distributed to 15-30 people?! What is HAPPENING

Hey y’all. Idk a ton about the scene. Hopefully this isn’t against the rules. Can bands post their IG links in the comments? I would love to follow yall and get a better feel for the alternative scene in Austin!

Just started a new artist page and want to fill my entire feed with shoegaze bands, fans and tastemakers. I don’t have enough friends who are into shoegaze or dream pop and I want more people in my life who can challenge me and inspire to be a better musician within this genre. So please post ur ig link in the comments so I can follow u! I especially wanna know when bands big or small are touring or playing in the Austin area🫡

Newbie here. I’m attempting to understand how to properly do special interest targeting for meta ads. I have a shoegaze/dream pop style band that will be releasing music at some point so I have spent some spare time over the past month studying meta ads. When it comes to interest targeting, I can’t target fans of any bands in these genres. I can’t even target Shoegaze as a genre. Closest I can get is dream pop, alternative rock, rock and indie rock as genres. Does this mean I would test creatives in each one individually? Is there no way to go more niche? Maybe lean into age? Or should I just leave it as broad as possible and let optimization do its thing? Thank you all so much! This sub is so helpful.

Hello! I am looking for new dreampop and I recently discovered a couple Instagram tastemakers like The Yellow Button who show me new artists I’ve never heard of before. Looking for reviewers that focus on dreampop! Any suggestions?

Hey y’all! I’m looking for new gaze and dreampop to listen to. I know there are probably hundreds of Instagram personalities that specialize in posting new music. I just don’t know how to find them. I follow the yellow button and discountano and I love them. They always helping me find new music. Anyone else out there like that I should be following?

There are so many pedal demoers out there on YT and socials. Is there anyone who explicitly shows how certain pedals work together? I personally love Collector//Emitter because he has the “Will it Shoegaze?” and “Ambient Ruminations” series where he will show how 2-3 pedals can be used together to lean into a specific genre. Noise Generator also posted that epic “shoegaze mini board” video a long time ago that is still just so informative and helpful. I personally would like to see more content like this as it helps inform building more pointed pedalboards and inspires creativity in my own music making.
