How come there is no subreddit (that I can find) purley dedicated to The Vasalines? I find it strange that they're famous basically because of the Nirvana covers but yet still no subreddit for them (that I can find)

Post your favorite music made before 2010 here!

Since the start of 2026, the music world has changed
AI Music has now made up at least 28% up to 40% of daily uploads onto these platforms, and a decent chunk belongs to people pushing out AI music solely for profit over any form of creativity
 
With the addition of Spotify "carefully" labeling real musicians who do not use AI Generation, their requirements have left many musicians who don’t use any AI Generation and just below this requirement in the dust.

 
I feel that two additions to both of these platforms will let users / listeners who use these music platforms daily be able to fully understand in a complete transparent way on WHO they are listening to and WHAT they are listening to.
 
If there is enough evidence to show that the artist on this platform is AI Generated and not a real-life musician, it should have an "May Contain AI Generation" label on the artist profile itself, similar to how Spotify now has "Verified By Spotify" so the listener understands that the person behind the songs they are listening to with full transparency.
If there is enough evidence to show that the song on this platform is AI Generated, it should be listed next to the artist name on these platforms with "May Contain AI Generation", so if a listener finds the song on a "Mix" or a "Radio" they are listening to, they are able to view that the song could have AI Generation involved with it.
Considering that both of these platforms have allowed AI Generated Music to be put on the platform and have started to implement a crude method to verify musicians who don’t use AI at all, we need to at least have full transparency that the track was either made by a real human or made by an AI or an Hybrid AI/Human track

I was looking for a band that has a similar sound and energy to this, but no luck so far. Please help.

Hey all! We're Perenna, a band from Boston & SF. We are some mix between rock, indie, post-hardcore, post-punk and pop punk. We've just released a cover of Running Up That Hill since all of love Stranger Things. The video for the track is at:

We'd love any feedback if you have any! Thanks for listening, and you can find us at perennaofficial.com if you dig it.

Debut single from Dream Motel.

Thanks for checking it out✨️

Hey everyone, After staring at the ending of the City Walls music video and trying to process the reversed audio cues leading back into the Blurryface era, a massive realization just hit me about Stressed Out. We all know "Stressed Out" is canonically Nico's song on the official Dema map, but I think the video is actually showing us the exact moment Clancy turns into Nico.

1. The Birth of a Bishop The song isn't just about general adult anxiety. It depicts a creative child being broken by real-world, algorithmic pressures ("Wake up, you need to make money"). To survive this suffocating stress, Clancy’s brain creates a defensive coping mechanism—absolute, rigid control. He literally invents the persona of Nico to protect his vulnerable childhood self. The red eyes at the end of the video aren't him being attacked; it's the moment the transformation is complete and the Bishop takes over.

2. The End of City Walls Loops into Stressed Out At the end of City Walls, Clancy succumbs to the temptation of absolute control, puts on the Bishop's hood, and the universe resets. "Stressed Out" is the immediate regression. The childhood memories being corrupted in that video are Clancy's own innocent past being locked away by his new, rigid "Bishop" mindset.

3. The Torchbearer's Tragic Past (The Keons Connection) This completely recontextualizes the Torchbearer (Josh). In the "Choker" video, we saw a glimpse of a reality where Josh acted like a captor/Bishop. If the universe keeps resetting, Josh was likely Keons in a previous cycle. It explains why Keons was the only "good" Bishop who protected Clancy and ultimately sacrificed himself to help him escape.When Josh walks away in heartbreak at the end of City Walls, he refuses the hood because he has already been there. He is an immortal guide forced to watch Clancy turn into Nico, regress back to the tricycles in "Stressed Out," and start the whole loop over again.

What do you guys think? Does this bridge the gap between Blurryface and Breach for anyone else?

(I got my first hate call to my college radio show by some older dude hurling insults at me for playing “elevator music”. [How dare I play dream pop on a sunday night…])

So I’m thinking of doing an elevator themed set next just to be a little bit of an ass.

So far I’ve got:

Crowded Elevator by Incubus
2nd Floor by The Creatures
Elevator Man by Oingo Boingo

Any other songs come to mind? Open to range of genres. Thank you!
