A lovely account of love, remembrance, and sharing. It's also refreshing to read an article about social media in which users are not socially maladapted, believers in conspiracy theories, or the victims of online swindlers - or all three of these at once in the case of Trump enthusiasts.

The Guardian · Her dead father left her 10,000 records. Sharing them online helped her grieve – and get to know himBy Alaina Demopoulos

in an effort to expand my music library and also share cool stuff, fedi, I beseech thee... lend me your ears (and boosts)

if you listen to, make, or have a friend who makes electronic music that fits any of these descriptions:

- sounds like the early 2000s, especially if it's some kind of dnb, jungle, trance, or ambient
- nostalgic futurism that
isn't dnb or ambient (and especially not synthwave!)
- sounds like racing game music from back when it was too good
- vaporwave but original (as in, not sample based) and not synthwave
- weird and wacky experimental electronica that can work in the background
- bass heavy but low intensity music that tickles the brain
- just really pretty and interesting ambient or drone stuff in general
please drop names and links here. aside from recommending stuff you like, by all means, plug yourself and your friends if you want to

if you see this post and it's a few weeks, months, even years old, please share anyway!

bandcamp, mirlo, faircamp, and similar links are preferable, but any link will do if those aren't available. extra bonus points if creative commons or similar

I think these styles of music are amazing and rather underrated, especially since a lot of the people who like these styles are just playing random youtube mixes in the background, so they have no idea what they're actually listening to or who to support

I also find this kind of music annoyingly hard to discover, which isn't helped by those mixes either, because most of them are either drawing from the same small handful of artists, or just playing video game soundtracks

I want to change that, even if only a little bit. for that reason,
please boost

aside from just hoping to spread this post around, I'd love to write about what I hear on my website eventually too, play it during livestreams with the titles on screen, and of course share it with all my non-fedi friends
