Confessions of a Spotify Vandal

October 20, 2024 10:06 PM

A folk-pop mischief-maker who goes by Catbreath has collected hundreds of thousands of streams by giving his songs prankish titles like “Chill Music,” “Gym Bangers,” and “My Discover Weekly.”

A delightful piece about a man, his guitar, and his genius for song titles that top search results.

As the interviewer pointed out, it would have been so easy for use AI generated drek as the songs - in fact the songs could probably have been blended sound like the title to the extend that listeners would be none the wiser to the deception. So - kudos to him for getting his actual compositions out there, for collecting hate mail and for his occasional Christian trolling.
