This clown talking about the music industry collapsing, due to AI like AI is the biggest problem it has ever faced. Have you been living under a rock? Record labels and money-hungry executives were destroying the music industry YEARS before AI-generated music even existed.
Honestly, the music industry needs a complete overhaul. How many talented artists have ended up broke, homeless, or struggling to survive while record labels continue making money off their work? The industry has exploited artists for decades, gatekept incredible talent, and pushed its own handpicked, manufactured stars to the forefront while countless deserving artists never got the opportunity to be heard.
Blaming the current state of the music industry on AI is a brainwashed take. Artists have been releasing garbage albums for years. Musicians have lost millions through unfair contracts, exploitative deals, and streaming revenue that barely pays them anything, while record labels continue making millions off the very artists who built their success.
And since you brought up independent artists, let me tell you something: Iβve been an independent artist for 20 years. So donβt lecture me about being an independent musician from the sidelines as if I donβt understand the struggle.
For 20 years, Iβve watched talented artists struggle to get heard. The internet became so oversaturated with people promoting their music that everyone started sounding like the same person saying, βListen to my music.β Getting attention became a battle in itself, long before AI-generated music entered the conversation.
This problem didnβt start with AI. It started with an industry that has spent decades prioritizing profits over artists, controlling who gets heard, and exploiting the people who create the music.
Stop smoking that AI crack pipe. I get it β blaming AI gets you views, clicks, and engagement. But getting attention by spreading misinformation doesnβt make your argument any less ignorant.
If youβre going to criticize AIβs impact on music, at least be honest about the industryβs history. Donβt pretend the music business was some golden age of fairness, originality, and opportunity before AI came along. For independent artists like me, the fight to be heard has been going on for decades.
AI didnβt create the problems in this industry. It walked into an industry that was already broken. π€

I built our platform with just $50 to my name. Then when you saw what I was building the community came together and donated around $2000 which helped us significantly and it became a home for us.
Now we have over 250 AethrPro active monthly members and have just recently had a massive influx of people signing up just for AethrCreate. It would be nothing without the community.
We did this without vc funds, investors and partnerships. Not one of the AI companies got on board with us and that's actually something im proud of. Because let's face it if we had funds like some of these companies we would be dangerous. Let Aethrmusik be proof of what you can achieve with little funding and community backing.
And it's all thanks to you. This is your platform

To this day, it arguably features our most elaborate album artwork, created by Lieve Prins using a colour photocopier.

AI Music will become one with the music industry within the next year. Record labels are creating their own AI platforms. Producers are secretly creating beats using AI, engineers are learning how to integrate AI into their process, and artists are using AI for melodies and better song performance. On the other side of the fence, thereβs an underground and an independent AI movement forming.
The underground has embraced AI more openly. We are the true pioneers of AI music. We are the ones who openly embrace it in the face of harassment, vilification, being outcasted, watermarked, blacklisted, shunned, rejected, and, worst of all, being called fake artists.
But currently, the gatekeepers are purging us from distribution and streaming sites while breaking down the Sunoβsβ¦ This isnβt because they hate AI; itβs because AI is the Infinity Glove that they feel should not be wielded by the people, but instead by their hand-picked puppets.
With saying all this, I just want everyone to know that even though you may not have a huge following, just know that we are at the very beginning. People donβt think your AI music sucks; they just donβt know it exists. Donβt stop. Donβt be deterred. Your music is awesome. Keep creating. We canβt let the industry push us out. We bled for this. AI music is for all artists, not just the hand-pickedβ¦
Iβm rooting for all of you.
AI Music is Awesome π€π»

32 years ago we released βDay For Nightβ in Sept 1994. Our 4th full-length studio album, recorded in New Orleans and Kingston.
A few of these tracks even made their way on to the new cast album, coming Oct 23β¦

Wild you can actually make full length music videos using your own personal AI creative director on AethrMusik.
It's mad because the AI is tailored to you it learns and understands your music. It can then be directed or pick an aesthetic to create a full length music video for you.
Right now you create a music video with it for less than 300 credits (less than $4)

πΈ AethrMusik now pays artists for their plays
This one's for you.
Big thanks to everyone subscribing to Aethr Pro and buying Create credits, because we can now pay artists for their plays. Every subscription and credit pack helped make this happen, and it goes straight back to the people making the music. Thank you. π
How it works
- Apply once
Open the Earnings tab and fill out a short form. Then your tracks will be eligible once they hit a threshold.
From that moment, your tracks start counting.
Monetize switches on for all of them.
Plays from before you apply don't count.
- Once you Reach the threshold
A track qualifies at 1,000 plays from Atleast 75 different listeners. Algorithmic plays do not count towards monetization. You can watch each track's progress in your Earnings tab.
- We check it by hand
Once a track qualifies, it comes straight to our team. We apply advanced anti botting checks, and make sure the plays are genuine
- Getting paid
Every real play since it hit 1,000 earns, and we work out the amount for you. You will be paid monthly and all earnings will go into your artist balance that can be used for credits or withdrawing funds.
Currently:
Standard: $1.50 per 1k tracks
Aethr Pro: $2.30 per 1k tracks
β Aethr Pro artists earn more from every play.
What doesn't count:
β Skipping ahead
β Replaying within seconds
β Plays from our own features, like radio
β Plays flagged by Play Protection
π€ Covers are never monetized.
π A track that isn't approved can be sent for review again after 30 days.
π‘οΈ We use advanced detection for bots, play farms and listening loops. If we find them, monetization is switched off on your account permanently and earnings from them can be taken back.
Head to your Earnings tab, apply, and start counting today. π

One of the funniest things about the anti-AI crowd is that they seem genuinely convinced people using AI are worried about earning their respect. Like oh no the person voluntarily declining the most powerful cognitive leverage of our lifetime thinks Iβm cheating :(

Much love and support for @edsheeran today who actually did more than what any of these loud mouth retards did and gave $2 million to help children in Gaza.
Because words mean nothing on here if you're not actually helping. Your words are in a online void unless you contribute. That's why this month my artist royalty will go to multiple charities that help children and families who are struggling in war torn areas (not just Palestine) Like I did for the entirety of 2025.
Scream and hate or actually do something useful. Not against your right to protest I'm saying you aren't giving enough in the first place.
