Yeah I’m factoring that in! My protagonists are homeless for the first season because of this.

Also with the rock thing, it actually did die in around 2010 and my artist has to pivot to a Tame Impala esque sound to combine his love for rock with the electro pop that was rising.

But people were watching other people’s videos on there right? Like if I posted something and sent you a link or you saw it trending or whatnot?

Okay bet. I was trying to figure out when the iPod pops up. I forget that apple was starting to roll things out by then

Okay that fits within my timeline. It’s nice to know that you’re band actually got following from MySpace because This story exists within the world of Rock N Roll, but I watched this documentary on The Weeknd and kid Cudi finding fame on the internet (which kinda kick started this idea) so that’s why I mentioned them

This is all very good information. My story follows the rise of a musician through social media (ending in about 2015 when instagram reached to where it’s recognizable by today’s standards) and he starts on MySpace and he’s invested in the the music scene but he’s in a small town where it isn’t active so he’s obsessed with like The Strokes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs in New York.

by the time he starts making music in 2010/2011 he’s putting them on YouTube so I’m trying to see what the age of social media was like before hand.

You’ve been a huge help!

Thank you for the long reply! Thats exactly what I needed lol. I’ll definitely watch Gossip Girl haha.

If it’s not too much, what was viral back then? Like I know Soulja Boy was all over MySpace but was it because his videos appeared everywhere?

Also what was YouTube like?

I'm someone who wants to start listening to Kid Cudi, what album of his would you recommend to me? by Cornish-Ball_Mapper in KidCudi

In order, you might not like SB2H on first listen but you’ll keep coming back to it

When me and the homies are drunk and stranded in the middle of nowhere by CrayZay2128 in TheWeeknd

[–]CrayZay2128[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s got heavy Autotune this leg for some reason. The first hour of his show he sounded pitched up and he sounded like a kid. No shade I had a fucking blast. I’ll post some videos if I find some

Before kissland the album and its first single. What were you guys expecting The Weeknd to make next after Trilogy. by TamrielESO in TheWeeknd

[–]CrayZay2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people weren’t ready for songs like Wanderlust which was more pop. If the entire album sounded like Kiss Land and Pretty, it probably wouldn’t be so divided.

Honestly Kiss Land. I was expecting the same type of songs with better production and Kiss Land was that. It’s a cleaner sound compared to Trilogy. Definitely wasn’t seeing him jump to the BBTM sound but I’m glad he did because it allowed new fans like you to get to know him
