Is /mu/ still the goto music forum if you want to find outsider / undergound releases / le gems?

I've not really browsed /mu/ or 4chan in ages but is that still the best place to find deep cuts / underground music? - Le gems if you will :marseygem:

Music I'd be referring to has like hundreds/thousands of listeners. Usually a one off album or project.

Examples:

Japanese Lo-fi synth music - https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/麓健一/美化-bika/

Random Vocaloid album with 2k views - https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17530945

[insert random Vaporwave album that ends up being Good Actually] -

I would've used Brave Little Abacus in the past but they're super high on RYM now lol - https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/the-brave-little-abacus/just-got-back-from-the-discomfort—were-alright/

If you're a zoomer. Tiktok is a great way to find new music

I'm an early zoomer.

More like a Zillenial due to early internet exposure which made me prefer some boomer Millennial ways...like manually scouting out music.

I got back and forth if I should install tiktok. It seems like a bit of a time sink for me when I already have plenty of websites for that (rDrama, HN, Reddit, etc.)

Im an early zoomer too :marseywave:

I get that. Most people who use tiktok seem to be on it for >10 a week which is too of a time commitment for me I'd rather be more productive than just rotting away while mindlessly scrolling.

But after making a tiktok account and your algorithm is made, you can find a lot of content that you like. Especially for music I've found a ton of songs and playlists for genres that I like and would have never found otherwise. If manage your time well enough you wont spend too much time. I max out at like 1 to 2 hours a week if even that

I have never found a good band through tiktok in itself, band ads usually suck and core-core edits are basic asf.
