The MP3 fatigue - Negative PID

We love listening to music while we work. There's nothing like a good song playing in the background to pull out some genius from your brain and get you going

What we now know as the “social web” — or Web 2.0 — didn’t arrive until around 2004. But the first inklings of it were emerging a couple of years before. As usual, music was the harbinger. In this week's Cybercultural, I look at the beginnings of Last.fm and Audioscrobbler. https://cybercultural.com/p/lastfm-audioscrobbler-2002/ #InternetHistory #OnlineMusic

Following in Amazon's footsteps, two student projects independently use 'collaborative filtering' to bring recommendations and social networking to online music; soon they will join forces.

The decline of SFX serves as a valuable lesson regarding the challenges of commodifying a subculture, highlighting the resilience of outsider communities. Prior to the rise of electronic dance music (EDM), dance music had thrived for decades as a grassroots and often marginalized community, with its members cautious of any efforts to exploit its cherished authenticity. Despite SFX's attempts to engage with a new generation of dance music enthusiasts, it struggled to resonate with the dedicated core audience at the heart of the genre. SFX developed within the EDM boom, a time when it seemed that electronic dance music would dominate the industry. However, the transition of a subculture into the mainstream can often alienate its foundational audience. As casual fans shift their interests elsewhere, a significant void is left behind.
