    I was sharing music with a friend and their reaction upon being shown an artist (not even listening) was "ew less than 100k monthly listens”

    bro? is this your metric for good music ? how many people listen to it on Spotify ?

    if this is how avg ppl see music it explains a lot about top 40 charts

      Funny, cuz lots of the ones who say “ew less than 100k listens” will also say they’re not into pop music. Wondering what they think “pop” is short for lmao

      I remember getting made fun of in middle school for listening to Nevermind, you know just a landmark in rock music because it was at the time almost 10 years old. Sigh.

      It’s sadly a very common thing and applies to just about everything. “It’s not popular so it’s automatically bad”, I’m just glad I’m not forced to be around people like that too often.
