"What happened?" Mass exodus to other platforms that then collapsed under their own weight. Lots and lots of egos flying around attempting to devour each other. Lots of artists from the 8BC and then CM.O "era" moving on from the scene or quitting music altogether. The scene essentially working overtime to gatekeep the shit out of... itself? Dunno. Some pretty confusing bullshit going on in general. I've posted up on a few discord servers to collect news and see what's good in the scene. We're at an ebb tide my friends. Just gotta wait it out.

I think real-life stuff has been a big factor for a lot of people too, like i've hit some serious chronic pain issues the last 8 years, other people i know have had rough divorces, etc. just the kind of stuff that tends to happen as the scene as a group gets older. honestly, it's surprising there are so many people still active from the early 2000s when all we had was the broken old nanoloop forum, the lsdj mailing list (on yahoo groups, of all things), & micromusic.org
everyone is sort of scattered now, i know i personally have to use 5 different social media apps to keep in touch with even just a relatively small group of people from the scene
