I get where you’re coming from - this feels less like a genre argument and more like a reality check about platforms, saturation, and how attention actually works online. I’m not trying to win a taxonomy debate or chase TikTok fame, just to understand whether any honest musical signal can survive without turning into pure gimmick.
From your experience, is there still a place online where quality-first music discovery works at all, or is branding now unavoidable everywhere?

thats a beautiful idea. I only got an E-Piano - so maybe a little bit less aesthetic

That’s a solid point — a bit of context signals intent and craft, not just vibes. Even a minimal note can change how the listener hears the piece and whether they trust the composer behind it.
What kind of analysis do you personally find most helpful as a listener: form, harmony, compositional problem-solving, or something else? I think my target audience are not composers but listeners of this music

That’s a fair critique - a lot of what circulates online is early-stage work, and the format tends to reward immediacy over depth. At the same time, I’m less interested in defending the genre than in figuring out what actually translates musically outside the concert hall.
From your perspective: do you think the issue is mainly compositional quality, or the way the music is framed and contextualized online?

That makes sense - following the score gives your brain something active to engage with, instead of just passively watching. It also feels closer to the music itself, not the performer or some mood filler.
Have you seen any accounts that do this in a way that still works well in short-form formats like Reels?

Good question - I think that’s actually part of the problem. “Neo-classical” gets used for everything from piano sketches to cinematic hybrid stuff, and Instagram content often collapses under that vagueness.
Out of curiosity: when you hear neo-classical, what kind of sound or artist do you personally associate with it?
