This is one of my favorite musical and creative genres across my life, but I’m having trouble finding an example across the FV that I can access. Anybody know if there is such a community?

To ramble on-- it just crushes me that SO much friggen’ awesome & original song content appears across these two major niches, yet on radio and everywhere (it seems to me) we just hear the same old dumbed-down, formulaic bullshit. Me? Even as a cynical old man, I have absolute love for young peoples’ creativity upon such things. And there really ARE such crushingly fun / excellent tunes out there to enjoy. Couple examples:

John Cale - How We See The Light:

Tessa Violet - Nancy Sinatra:

Vendredi sur Mer (Charline Mignot) - Écoute chérie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhqUMFj51X0

To me, these are brilliant, young* creators absolutely kicking booty, and yet we barely hear of them. Why is that…?

* Haha, John, you’re still young to ME!

EDIT : Ehhh… couple more I’ll post in the comments. What think, amigos…?

      I can indeed do a community search upon both those instances, but the results seem depressed and incomplete. For example, with Fedia.io, the top three /c’s with the most active people listed are:

      -News from fediverse@fedia.io / 118
      -B-side Gaming@fedia.io / 54
      -Firefox@fedia.io / 17

      And the pickings drop pretty quickly from there. That’s out of a few dozen communities (or is it “magazines?”) that show up in such a search.

      Meanwhile, a Kbin.Earth search returns a paltry dozen places, almost all of them stone-dead. So… something is clearly not working in the federation process, is it?

        That or people just use Mbin to browse other platforms like Lemmy, but not to host magazines (communities in Lemmy parlance). I mod with someone who is on an Mbin platform but the community they created and mod is on Lemmy.
