Arguing Against the Experimental Tag at Bandcamp

This is where the art gets made

I make music out of my closet.  I honestly enjoy hearing what others make out of their bedrooms, closets, and home studios.  In the process of perusing Bandcamp, I also find a common red flag: “Experimental.”

The biggest reason I see for people using the Experimental tag at Bandcamp is when they feel uncertain about their music.  Every time, I want to beg them: do not feel uncertain.   You made art.  You are already ahead of everyone who only dreams of making the art.  By virtue of your recordings being published, you’re ahead of the game.  You conceived, recorded, and published the art.

Do Not Undersell Yourself

Instead, learn why you should be proud of your recordings.
