Even experimental artists like OPN and the whole vaporwave scene seems to comment on our interconnected society with a sense that we're too far gone rather than a way of looking out.
Soundcloud might be dead, but in comments sections of videos and blog posts about this I read that people prefer it over Bandcamp BECAUSE of the community aspect. That stuff is key for a lot of people it seems, and not just connecting with artists but making your stuff a place where people can connect over their love of a thing.
Like "oh shit mane, I saw your comment on that Young Thug track, and now you on this XXXtentacion comment section? You've got good taste, hit me up and let's talk about music and life and stuff"
Honestly if anyone needs an alternative place to start putting up music, I think YouTube's really blowing up in that department as of late. In terms of music streaming and sharing.
You have people sharing playlists, mixes, and all that, and streams where people just play music like a radio station.
I mean just try to look where people's ears and eyes are, and appeal to that platform in a creative way.
I don't even know what I'm trying to say with this post, but I agree that Soundcloud probably won't go anywhere, either.
It'll probably just be bought up by some big corporation, be saved for a year or two then be in the same problem it was before.

Like, feel the emotion this guy was feeling at 0: 41 or i love how soft that kick drum is and that guitar tone is on the math and my ears. And should only be for the artists website not some public money flaunting bulls***. Don't kill it! It's usefull!

They don't like Bandcamp because there's no ability to build a community between fans.
That's all I'm saying, that's what I've seen people say.
