(my opinion)
I feel like gatekeeping music is pretty dumb. Yes ik people like the singers and stuff and they want the community to stay where it is, but like, whenever they're like "oh more people need to listen to them" but then when people do listen to that singer/band, all of a sudden, they gatekeep it. If it wasn't for tik tok, i wouldn't be listening to Wilbur Soot, or Jack Stauber, Mistki, etc etc. The point is, ppl should let other ppl listen to whatever they want.
Again, this is my opinion so don't hate me for this
