Are you watching Eurovision this year?

I used to love Eurovision much more when I was younger. I still don't think it's terrible, and there are still good songs, but it doesn't give me the same feeling anymore.

Maybe I miss the old chaos. The bizarre performances, the different languages, the dramatic ballads, the random songs that somehow stick in your head for years.

Now it feels more polished and sometimes more "made for the internet."

Am I the only one who feels this way, or do you also think Eurovision has lost its old magic?

In high school, social media wasn't widespread. Spotify was unknown, and music didn't come to me through endless algorithmic playlists.

I spent hours on Youtube, jumping from one song to another, reading comments, checking out related videos, and slowly building my own little music map.

I even had a journal where I wrote down and rated the artists, bands, and albums I listened to.

Looking back, I think those years shaped my taste more than anything else. Discovering music was slower, more personal, and more conscious. It wasn't just background content. It was more like I was actively engaging with the music.

I wonder, how did you discover music before streaming platforms, algorithms, and AI-generated content became so dominant?

Did you have mixtapes, CDs, blogs, record stores, radio shows, videos you discovered on Youtube, older siblings, friends, forums, magazines, or something else?

I'd love to hear your stories.

I'm thinking about how much our attention spans are changing.

With short videos, endless scrolling, rapid dopamine bursts, and algorithms constantly presenting us with something new, I feel it's becoming increasingly difficult for people to engage deeply with music.

Sometimes songs are treated like fast-paced content. If the chorus doesn't come fast enough, people skip it. If an album requires patience, many people don't dedicate time to it.

Do you think this is changing the way we listen to music?

Are we losing our ability to appreciate slow, emotional, flawed, or complex music?

And do you think AI-generated music could make this even worse by creating even more endless background content?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to make a clear statement about what r/NoAIJustMusic is actually about.

This community is for people who value human-made music, genuine creativity, musicianship, artist rights, and the labor behind the music.

The goal is not to attack people or turn every AI discussion into a fight. The goal is to protect and support music made by humans.

As a community, we do not support music or music videos produced entirely by AI.

We also do not support AI replacing the creative aspects of music production. For example, if AI is writing the lyrics, melody, harmony, chord progression, vocals, arrangement, performance, or producing the actual parts of the song, that doesn't really fit the purpose of this space.

However, this doesn't mean every use of AI is the same.

AI can be discussed here when used as a support tool for the creative process, not as a replacement for it. For example:

• AI to learn music theory
• AI to understand chords or song structure
• AI to organize ideas
• AI for research
• AI to plan practice routines
• AI to help someone learn an instrument
• AI for workflow support
• AI to discuss tools that help, but do not replace, musicians, producers, artists, and listeners

The crucial question is simple: Is AI replacing human creative work, or is it merely assisting the creator?

Another major concern is the number of AI models trained on artists' work without explicit permission. This is one of the reasons why this community values ​​artist rights, transparency, and respect for creative labor.

This is not a place to accuse artists without evidence. We must be careful, fair, and respectful. If we are not sure whether something was produced by AI, we should not attack people.

Hopefully, this community will become a space where musicians, listeners, producers, songwriters, composers, and music lovers can freely discuss music, creativity, technology, and the future of artists.

Different opinions are welcome, as long as they are respectful.

The main idea is simple:

No AI-generated music.

No fake AI artists.

No music replacing human creativity.

Only music made by real people.

Hi everyone,

I created a community called r/NoAIJustMusic for people who care about human-made music, real creativity, and the effort behind music.

It’s a space where people can freely share ideas, thoughts, concerns, and discussions about music, artists, AI, and the future of creativity.

We are not against AI being used as a helpful tool, but we don’t support fully AI-generated music or fully AI-generated music videos.

If you also care about keeping music human, you’re very welcome to join.

Hi everyone,

I started r/NoAIJustMusic because I wanted a space for people who still believe music should stay connected to human emotion, effort, and real creativity.

I know AI is becoming a big part of many creative spaces, but I think human-made music still needs places where it can be protected, discussed, and appreciated.

This community is open to musicians, listeners, producers, songwriters, composers, and anyone who cares about music.

You can share thoughts, questions, concerns, ideas, and discussions about music, artists, AI, and the future of creativity.

The only thing we don’t want to promote is fully AI-generated music or fully AI-generated music videos.

If this matters to you too, you’re welcome to join.

I wanted to share a personal story and find out if anyone else has had a similar experience.

For the past 6 years, my EEG tests have shown abnormal results in my brain's electrical activity, the cause of which remains unknown. I am one of the rare people who develop epilepsy in adulthood.

They usually tried to help me calm down with breathing exercises during the tests, but it never worked.

A few months ago, during an EEG, they played one of my favorite pieces of classical music for me.

And for the first time in 6 years, my brain activity came back normal.

I don't want to make a big medical claim from a single experience, but it was very emotional and surprising for me. This has led me to think more deeply about the connection between music, the brain, and human health.

Does anyone know of any interesting stories, studies, or personal experiences regarding the effects of music on health?

I'm curious if there's a tool, platform, or feature that you, as a musician, listener, composer, producer, or music lover, has always wanted to have.

It could be a serious problem, a minor frustration, or just a random idea you think would be useful. It could even be the idea of ​​a social media platform where people match through music.

I'd love to hear about the things people in the music world wish existed.
