Someone told me the other day that the way kids find out about new music these days is through Instagram stories.
Is this true? I never even look at Instagram stories. They are always uninteresting. I asked someone else for a second opinion and they agreed.
Is this a phenomenon you are aware of?
Is this what they were talking about?
Iām asking in the wrong place really, arenāt I
hang on while I fetch my reading glasses, cardigan and a cuppa and Iāll get back to you:joy:
i check out instagram stories if itās someone i know irl/am a fan of
I guess could be a good thing, would the instagram story credit the artist or would you have to rely on the person who made it to tag it etc?
Me, everytime I look at Instagram stories: I hate Instagram stories
Nah though for real, Iāve seen people link to tracks on Spotify on there, so Iām not surprised really? Itās a bit like a better version of that This Is My Jam website thing, innit, letting you share new obsessions, just on a platform thatās already popular.
Actually think this is a better use of Instagram stories than how most of the olds I know use it tbh
You can link Spotify tracks in them. Seems bizarre to be your main source of discovery though
you can share via spotify and it looks like it does when you play it on yr phone. imo tho the āclick to open spotifyā button should be easier to find
it would be good if they could make it so it autoplays a snippet of the track and then a big round āclick to listen to more byā¦ā appears or summat. as it stands you have to click a tiny link in top left corner, a lot of people donāt notice it.
i quite like instagram stories tbh, there is potential for it to be a good discovery portal. and some people are funny with it too. i just canāt abide the mundane āhere i am getting off the plane/drinking beer and watching tvā stuff.
Yep this is why I donāt like them. Just another extension of the worst aspects of Facebook.
Wonder if many music publications make use of it - maybe this is how DiS should be using itās Instagram (cc @sean )
warp label do it, itās how i got into a few new artists. and a number of publications do too i think.
I am a youth 24 and I always turn the sound off on IG stories
oh yeah it should be optional like it is now, just they should make it easier to access the artist page if people like it
I watched the suspira trailer on an IG story recently, so thatās a thing
I like posting pictures of my wife and I and then playing really inappropriate music from Spotify over the top, Death Grips āNo Loveā or something like that.
NOT ON INSTAGRAM STORIES BOOK
I share some of what I listen to on insta stories, it doesnāt play the song though. Not particularly sure why I do it, donāt really expect anyone to care or click through ĀÆ\(ć)/ĀÆ
To do the whole linking thing with Spotify, you need the spotify app, which I donāt have, so the one time I tried to do it, I failed miserably.
If I see someone I like tipping something, I sometimes try and give it a listen, and Iāve discovered one or two new bands as a result this year.
The internetās on computers now?
