I built an alternative social media for sharing music you love. Today, "Sugar on My Tongue" became the top most trending post!

Hey everyone! I love music and Talking Heads so much, as I'm sure many of you also do. I have always felt that sharing the music I love and what I was listening to is the best way to express myself and show who I really am. I felt like there were others out there who felt the same way, so I built a new kind of social media called Corus, that is not about images/reels/selfies, but instead the music and art you love. You curate your profile and follow others like Instagram and get recommendations based on your taste.

Today one of the best Talking Heads songs is the top track! "Sugar on My Tongue" was shared by an amazing user you should all follow named sufyansleepins and the love came flowing in. The caption is hilarious too. Is this the sexiest talking heads song?

On the app there's a Talking Heads page and you can find the other 76 peoples who have also posted TH, which is really cool. If you join you can follow those people to get started. Come and share your favorite tracks with us and hopefully you’ll find something new in the process. <3

I built an alt social media for sharing the music you love, like Sufjan. Today “Should Have Known Better” is a top trending song!

Hey everyone. Wanted to share a cool thing with you all.

I decided I wanted a social media that wasn’t about images/selfies/reels and instead only about sharing the music/art that you love. So I built it and it’s called Corus.

Today I saw a user posted “Should Have Known Better” with a hilarious caption and now it’s one of the top trending tracks! It made me go back and listen to all of Carrie and Lowell. It’s just so so so good.

On the app there’s actually 56 others who have also posted Sufjan, which is really cool. If you’re interested, come join, follow all the other Sufjan fans, and share your favorites. Hopefully you’ll find something new in the process. <3

I decided to build an alt social media for sharing the music you love and today “Angel” is the top most trending song!

I just wanted to share this cool thing. I created an app called Corus. It’s kind of like instagram except instead you share music you love. Then you match with people who share the same artists so you can follow their recommendations.

Angel is currently the top most trending song, posted by an awesome user named Aiden. I’m proud of my small community for showing the Massive Attack love! Thought you all would find it cool as well. Corus.fm if you want to come hang.

The lovely “If This World Were Mine” is trending on a music app I built, all about sharing the music you love.

Hey all! Just wanted to share a cool thing. I built a social media app called Corus for sharing the music you love and today “If This World Were Mine” by Marvin and Tammi Terrell started trending. It was posted by a cool user named Arielle and the love came flowing in from the community. I thought that was awesome because it’s a lesser known track, but so good and worth listening to if you haven’t heard it in a while.

The idea of the app is to discover music from real people again. Imagine instagram except you don’t share images or reels, only the music/art you love. You curate your ultimate playlist and follow people to hear their recommendations. Then you match with people who share the same taste and get a feed of their song picks each day. Already 47 others have shared Marvin so if you’re interested in joining, just search Marvin Gaye and follow all the others sharing their favorite tracks. Happy to answer any questions at all. Hopefully see you there :)

I built an alt social network where you share the music you love and now "Monday Morning" off of Different Class is trending. Beautiful thing to see!

Hey everyone. I wanted to share with you all a very cool thing! I built a new social network for music called Corus. Essentially, instead of photos/videos like Instagram, you instead share the music you love. Today "Monday Morning" is trending on the app. I'm a huge fan of the track and the album and just thought it was pretty cool that other people have found the app and have good taste. A user named disintegration posted it and the love starting coming in from others. It's awesome to see.

One of the main ideas of the app is to bring back curation and discovering music from people as opposed to the algorithms. So you create your ultimate playlist by sharing, and you get a feed from all that you're following. You can also see all who have shared an artist and you get taste matches with whoever is out there that has shared the same ones. So as you can see above, you can view ELOs artist page and see that already 15 others have shared Pulp songs. Feel free to join and follow me and all the other Pulp lovers. Happy to answer any questions!

I created an alt-social network for sharing the music you love. 30 have already shared Adrianne and now “Steamboat” is a trending track!

Hi yall! Just wanted to share a cool thing. I built a new social network for music called Corus. Essentially, instead of photos/videos like Instagram, you instead share the music you love. Today “Steamboat” began trending. I noticed too that 30 other people have shared Adrianne which is really beautiful to see.

I built an alt social network where you share the music you love. "Out Go the Lights" off Transference is currently trending.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share a cool thing. I built this new social network for music called Corus. Essentially, instead of photos/videos like Instagram, you instead share the music you love. Today I shared "Out Go the Lights" which is one of my favorite tracks that I feel like some people may not have heard. A friend name Ryan posted it, I reshared it, and now it's trending! I love this song and I just feel like it's a great example of how Britt can command a song with fairly simple drums with his unbelievable voice and energy.

I built an app where you share the music you love and match with people who have the same taste. "You Can Have It All" is currently the top trending tack.

If you're tired of instagram, all the ads, selfies and bots, this alt social media is only for sharing music/art you love like Mr Tom Petty. Square One is trending on it now!

If you're feeling so sick of Instagram and all of the manipulative crap on it, you're not alone! It's especially not a friendly place for art lovers. So for the past few months I've been building Corus as an attempt to use tech for good. Corus is a place where you can't share selfies or reels or ai slop. Instead, you can only share music or film you love and you curate a profile that truly represents you.

There's a whole group of Petty fans on there, sharing the best of the best. Come join the listening party and share your favorite song with people who really will listen! Happy to answer any questions you have!

Discover music from real curators as opposed to algorithms

Hey NYC musicians!

I just wanted to share with you all an alternative social media that I created with a mission to help people discover music in a new way, from real people as opposed to algorithms, which feels soulless.

It’s called Corus - Corus.fm

The idea is that instead of all the selfies and ads you see on instagram, instead you post the music and art that you love. You follow users who you have a taste match with and get a feed of recommendations that can connect to Spotify, Apple, and other streaming networks.

As musicians, I think it’s a great way to share your influences, connect with fans, and from time to time share your new releases for people to listen to.

There are artists pages too so if you sign up, let me know any I’ll connect your artist page to your account.

Thanks for checking it out and I welcome you to join the community and send in your feedback! Hoping to do something good for the music world.

Doom is beloved and trending in the music network Corus

Corus is a social network for music lovers and honestly Doom is ALWAYS being shared. It’s amazing the love. 67 people shared in the past month and now Vomitspit is trending.

Come hang out! Basic idea of the app is to share the music you love and curate a profile, then you get an always updating feed of everyone you follow. Sorta like an instagram for music, but none of the crap and no ads, bots, branded content, selfies etc.

I made an app for sharing films you love and The Handmaiden is currently trending

Hey fellow Koran Film fans! I wanted to share with you an app I created called Corus. I personally have been sick of current social media that is full of ads, bots and branded content. So I created a social network all about sharing the art you love (currently music and film). You curate your profile with what you love, follow friends and other curators, and then you get a feed of recommendations that like, comment, save, etc. That’s the jist!

Currently The Handmadien is trending and getting lots and lots of love. Come join and share your favorite Korean films. Would love to have you.

Tracking the music you listen to is cool, but intentionally curating your favorite songs is also really valuable!

Hi everyone!

I’m a long time music nerd and blogger. I used to use lastfm a lot but stopped because I felt something and I wanted to see if others felt the same way, and also share a story.

A long time ago when I was a teenager I created a music blog. The idea was to share just one song a day that I loved and write a paragraph about it. I felt like this was actually the best way to express myself, by sharing my favorite music. There was really no better way to truly get to know me. Maybe some of you feel the same way. So even though not many people read the blog, the simple act of having to choose just 1 song was really a great introspective thing for me to do each day. When you’re forced to choose, you’re forced to make a decision about your identity and what you really care about. It helps define you. So that made me realize that the lastfm method wasn’t quite what was was looking for.

At the same time, I’ve been really sick of instagram, all the ads, bots, and branded content. It barely feels social anymore. My friends too have all been trying to get off instagram, but failing to do so because of its addictive qualities. So for the past 5 months I worked on and launched an app where you don’t share selfies or reels or images, but instead just the music or film you love. You fill out your profile with your favorite tracks and you get an always updated feed of songs from anyone you want to follow. That’s the jist of it! It’s called Corus (it’s on iOS, Android or Web) and if you link and Apple Music account you actually can play full songs too within the app. I tried a similar idea with an app called Cymbal back in the day, but this time I believe in the idea even more. A great community is forming and I am looking for more music lovers out there, of all genres.

I posted here because lastfm people are exactly the type of people I’d like to talk to to honestly hear feedback from. It might feel weird to not use the scrobbler at first, but I think if you give it a chance you’ll find deliberately sharing what you love, and even writing about why, feels really really good. I also know people LOVE the compatibility feature on lastfm, so on the app, every time you post, you’ll get more and more “taste matches” which are people who post the same artists as you. On every profile you can see how you overlap and what you have in common. So I’d love to get the thoughts from people like you all who love curating and finding people who have similar taste, because that’s what it’s all about.

To me music is all about community, or at least it used to be. Making mixtapes for friends, going to concerts together, talking about lyrics… Social media does not HAVE to hurt to use. It can actually connect us and be fun if we stick to some basic principles. For one, no dam ads.

Thank you so much for hearing me out, and I hope you enjoy it!

Spotify gave up on social a long time ago, but music is inherently social!

Spotify is an amazing solo listening experience, but they gave up on social a long time ago, and never invested in features for connecting with friends or finding others who share your own taste.

I have personally always felt that the best way to express myself was by sharing my favorite music. There’s really no better way to truly know me. Maybe some of you feel the same way.

I would really really love honest feedback from people who really care about music and so that’s why I’m sharing here on r/truespotify, to get thoughts from people who love curating, because that’s what it’s all about. Expressing yourself musically, talking to others about songs, finding people who love the same bands, and discovering great music from them.

Looking for a more social music experience?

Apple Music has gotten a lot better and I do appreciate what it is doing for artists and listeners. However I think it’s missing a big part of what music is all about - the social side.

I made an app for sharing the music you love, like Stevie. Today Higher Ground is the top trending song.

I have personally always felt that the best way to express myself was by sharing with people my favorite music.

Today the top most trending song is higher ground shared by a really awesome user named audible_orange. The love for Stevie is STRONG on the app. So I wanted to share and invite all you Stevie loves to come join the listening party and celebrate the amazing musician he is. As you post, you’ll also get matched to other Stevie Wonder fans so you can find people to follow. If you have any feedback for me, I’d love to hear. Enjoy!

I built an app for sharing the music that represents you and that you love, like Sade

I'll keep this short! For a long time now I have felt that social media can be better and serve humanity rather than hurt to use. I don't think music lovers really have a home. Corus (Corus.fm) is all about sharing what you love, and following people to get a feed of their favorite music. A lot of us on the app love Sade, including walasia here who has amazing taste in rnb classics and hip hop (she also collaborated with the late MF Doom). So come join us and share your usernames so we can follow you if you're interested. <3

I built an app for sharing music you love, and Death Cab is trending.

Hey Death Cab friends,

Wanted to tell you a little about a project of mine. I have personally always felt that sharing the music I love was the best way to express myself. Especially better than all the selfies and self promotion you see on instagram, or controversial takes on X. So I built an app called Corus (Corus.fm) where it's more pure and simple. You post your favorite songs instead of images and videos, you follow friends and curators and end up with an always updating feed of songs hand picked by people. I think it’s a much more enjoyable way to find new music, compared to the soulless algorithms that we’re mostly all used to at this point.

I would love for all of you to check it out. As you can see here, today Death Cab started trending with a post by a user whose username is literally "deathcabforcatie" haha. The love for the post is so nice to see, and from here you can see anyone else who has shared the song. Soon too you'll be able to see all users who have shared any Death Cab song so you can connect with them

Follow me "@gabe" and share your username and I’ll follow you back. Also, if you post Death Cab, the app will automatically connect you to Death Cab fans which is pretty cool.

I hope you enjoy and feel free to ask any questions at all. Much love.
