The degree of “sampling“ in BB is utterly egregious. People used to complain that vaporwave was “just slowing down someone else's music,“ but this is LITERALLY true of many BB tracks. 2. BB exposes people to music they would otherwise not have found. 3. Many people prefer the BB version of a track to the original. (Hell, I used to slow my favorite music down in Audacity long before BB was a thing.) 4. Like vaporwave, BB has an aesthetic component that alters the listener's perception of the music. 5. BB artists often admit upfront that their content is “plundered“ or “stolen,“ rather than claiming it as their own. However, they rarely list the artists and tracks that they sample. My takeaway: BB is great and I'm truly happy that it exists. I acknowledge that the effort involved is nowhere near what's required to record and produce truly new music, but that doesn't really bother me; the end result is something that I enjoy and wouldn't get to experience otherwise. Still, I wish BB artists would give more credit to the artists they sample. You're not fooling anyone bro, and we don't care anyway -- so just own it! :) Lastly, I don't mind paying a few bucks for a BB album, but I wish some of that money could flow back to the original artists. My dream is for Bandcamp to add a “Kudos“ feature, where the artist can list other Bandcamp users they want to give credit to, and the buyer can decide what % of their money goes to each one (with sensible defaults). In the meantime, I encourage you to do this manually if you can afford it. Peace!
