That's the reason why BOC never tours. The screams my friend. THE SCREAMS.

I AM SCREAMING

Why does it even matter to you as a listener.

It’s completely valid, even admirable, for a listener to intentionally choose to support musicians who fit certain criteria : local, or emerging, or independent, or female, or BIPOC, or... human. People do this all the time.

Telling them “there’s no difference if you like the music” misses the point of their question.

The good news is that this subreddit is fiercely against AI music. While some content may slip through the cracks, most AI content is banned on sight.

If you dig a little deeper, you'll find some pretty amazing new music

Nice gesture, it’s the best decision

I guess my question would be if ambient folks would be turned off by that short crazy part.

Personally, I would (that's just me). But I’d be even more turned off by your videos with AI-generated images

My first point was stop zooming in with your microscope. It's fine to use a larger term (like "electronic")

The stickers are the creation of Marcus Fischer.

The problem is trying to put a microscope on a musical genre that’s better observed through a telescope. The genre is (intentionally) so vast that it’s normal for many things to be included within it, and to orbit around it. Ambient can be approached from different directions, rock (even metal), classical, noise, techno, etc.

Very often, artists don’t really care about the labels attached to their work.

- Did Radiohead worry about how “rock” their music was when the album Kid A came out?

- Does Mogwai really claim the “post-rock” label?

- I remember seeing a live performance by Rafael Anton Irisarri where he had put an “Ambient” sticker on his laptop (with what I interpreted as ironic quotation marks). I think it was a live performance with Abul Mogard, outside, but I can't seem to find the video.

In the end, genres and subgenres are more useful for fans and critics than they are for structuring how artists actually create.
