🔑 BURNIN' DAYLIGHT, FOOL.

"What, you need consent for everything these days?" Literally yes. And not just these days, but always have and always will.

"Do I need consent to kiss my wife in the morning? Do I need consent to shake someone's hand after a business meeting? Do I need CoNsEnT to braid my daughter's hair?"

Yes, yes and yes. A neurotypical person of reasonably passable social skill should have the ability to either instinctively understand when their touch is welcome, or logically conclude when their touch is socially expected. If you truly, literally, genuinely cannot tell whether your own child delights in you playing with her hair or merely endures it, then yeah, maybe you shouldn't touch anyone at all, ever, before you learn how to do that.

"Do I need consent to make eye contact with strangers on the street? Do I need consent from everyone on board before I get on the bus?"

So yes, in fact, everything involving other people requires their consent in some way, shape, or form. That's what forms social mores and folkways! This is the very basis of society! A mix of explicit and implicit consent.

if you’re new to the site, the front page is a good place to start. you can pick a genre and scroll thru it. by default it puts popular stuff up front, but i’d suggest looking at new releases

most albums have a “music you’ll also love” section at the bottom of the page, so you can start from one thing and go down a rabbit hole. you can find whole scenes this way

or look at the genre tags that don’t show up on the front page! find a sub-subgenre and explore something you’ve definitely never heard before. what’s furrycore? dreamcore? post-hyperpop? progressive extreme metal? melodic juke?

bandcamp also tags music by location. what are ppl in your city making?

but that was on purpose. i wanna let ppl know that bandcamp is the place to be, as a music fan, if you want to hear underground independent music

bandcamp is kinda in danger of being only used by musicians. like an extension of the joke abt irl gigs: it’s just a bunch of musicians handing each other 20 dollar bills.

to me, as someone who loves the wierd, edgy side of electronic music, bandcamp is more than that. it’s where u go to be part of music scenes in the internet era. especially post 2020
