Myspace / Space Hey

Is anyone considering going back to the "real" Myspace or the new "Space Hey"? I think Space Hey has big plans for their site, but the people on it don't seem super interesting to me. I like that this fake Myspace (the one I am typing this into) has lots of eccentric Gen Z people, but it's hard to actually interact with anyone on here. It seems like a lot of people on here are also on Discord, but I haven't gotten into that yet and I'm also probably too old. I just wanna talk about music and see what music people are into.

I keep getting more cool gear!

I have been developing the equipment collection of my studio during the Coronavirus quarantine. My studio has really taken shape. It's really exciting. I now have two completely different ways to mix records that sound radically different from each other. When my current projects are published, I'll share links on my page so you can hear what I mean.

Also, as far as my analog mixing setup is concerned, one of the coolest aspects of mixing that way is that you can incorporate basically any piece of signal processing equipment ever made into the mix. There's a whole universe of signal processing and effects units made a long time ago that sound super rad, and you can't make a record sound like that if you're mixing entirely inside of a computer (like most people do these days).

Music?

How many of my MySpace friends are seriously into music? What kind of music? I see Emo seems to be popular now, which is cool to me, since basically any kind of interest in rock music is a good thing to me. A friend of mine told me that ALL rock music is now "underground" music since rock music is no longer played on the radio. I haven't listened to the radio in a really long time, so I have no idea what's being played on there now.

I feel like I have a pretty close community of people who are both musicians and also just love music, so I find out about new stuff from them on Facebook. Oakland (California), where I live, has a thriving underground/DIY live music scene, except that it got completely shut down because of Coronavirus. Everyone here is just waiting for Coronavirus to go away so we can go back to the lives that make us happy, and live music is a big part of that.

For 3 years I was the most active video documentarian of my specific music scene in Oakland, and I'm now taking my 450+ hours of live music video footage and crafting it into a feature length documentary, but I'm also juggling a bunch of other projects I'm working on. I don't know if I wait too long to finish the documentary if no one will care about the music anymore, but people have told me the film will still be "relevant" because the music in it is so good (and it is).

Since most of my friends on this "fake" MySpace seem to be Gen Z (and I already have an extremely high impression of that generation), if any of you are about to graduate high school and are considering places to potentially move to that have active music scenes, feel free to reach out to me and I can tell you my experiences of all of the places I've lived and what their music scenes are like.

Discord?

I notice most of the people on here have Discord accounts. Should I get on Discord too? What do people do on there? BTW I don't play video games.
