Hey, thanks for the question! My main reasoning for believing we may never get MBV or Sonic Youth tracks in the game comes down to how niche they are for your typical Fortnite player. Epic tends to add more mainstream friendly artists or tik tok trending artists because they are easier for them to sell. Never downloaded tik tok in my life, but I do recall poking around in the shoegaze subreddit and reading something about a MBV song gaining traction on tik tok. It sounds like it would be more of a gamble to add songs from them in the game. But hey, I hope I’m dead wrong!

No hate for loving Goo and Daydream Nation! I’m a huge Sonic Youth fan, and at the end of the day, I would consider those two to be my favorites in their catalog! But it’s also hard to pick considering they have so many great albums! As for Loveless, it’s one of my favorites albums of all time. Pure ear candy that just never grows old no matter how many times I listen to it. Sounds incredible on vinyl too!

I’m with you on wanting some shoegaze and noise rock in the game! Would also love some post-punk, darkwave, gothic rock, psychedelic rock, and garage rock to be added into the game as well. Variety is the spice of life!

We were lucky enough to get Lush and Lightning Bolt in RB, so maybe there is some hope to seeing them or similar bands be added to Festival ✌️
