Heck, My AXS thread over at warmplace.ru is nearing 3/4 of a million views but only ever had a couple responders at all you may have a large amount of looky-loos but getting people to act on anything is not like it was 20-30 years ago. Don't know if it's boredom, low testosterone, melancholy, flouride, depression, too much gaming, smart phone fascination, AI madness or just extremely short attention spans that are common nowadays... hard to get anyone involved in anything...

But much luck to you Vojvodinosaurus... I suppose a well-thought layout might attract some there...

Hi Vojvo. Too be honest I had no idea who or what Aphex Twin was, thought it might have been a type of washing machine or something. Its ok, I googled it to save embarrassing myself (more). I haven't listened to anything he's made, but I'm sure curiosity will get the better of me.

Your style pretty much reminds me of Aphex Twin

Don't expect it to make sense. It was a cold, dark, boring evening and it was p*ssing it down, so without any alcohol to alleviate the boredom what else was I going to do? Its weird.... but I think I enjoy the weird tunes the most. No constant editing out the kups, still very much in the 'lo-effort' phase. Just having fun. Like it... hate it... whatever.

Welp... it got a bit of a snigger from me. Did the job of a joke at least. The song is fairly confrontational, it would be somewhat narccasistic to think it is about you... so those are possibly some of the reasons why.

Luckily my name isn't Kevin, its just my slightly warped sense of humour to make you feel a bit awkward... why do I now feel disappointed that you didn't write it for me?

People will not just randomly flock around you if you announce that you will start some random community. Most of the time that will result in a handful of people pretending to be interested (or maybe they even are) and then it fades away quickly because there is no momentum.

This happened to my former community. There were only 6 of us but barely any communication, no matter how much I tried to animate, it was just me and only 1 member at a time talking and 2 of them even tho they stayed they almost never said a word

Not that I want to discourage you to try things out, but it sounds like you are approaching this topic from the wrong side. People will not just randomly flock around you if you announce that you will start some random community. Most of the time that will result in a handful of people pretending to be interested (or maybe they even are) and then it fades away quickly because there is no momentum.
If you want to create a new community, it should address a need (of more than one person). To pick your example, are you part of an existing, active community that runs compos and several people are annoyed that 50% of the tracks in the compos are always brostep? Congratulations, you have found a niche, and those people might decide to follow you to your own community with 0% brostep. However, practically speaking, this is probably not even a problem in most music communities, so you have no universal selling point for your new community. People might just as well stay in the communities they already are in.

is it worth starting my own without prior experience?

Nobody's gonna stop you but you really should have a look at how other people do things to get an idea before you decide to start to do anything on your own.

Hah... it is an achetype, a combination of a few people i know and none specifically... the abstract idea is that if the shoe fits, put it on, and examine yourself.
The male version of a karen. Could have been kalvin or any other phonetically similar name to karen, but i chose kevin. I doubt anyone should find the shoe fitting exactly perfectly but yeah some thoughts about behaviours we can all do with examining in ourselves.

So yeah it isnt specifically aimed at anyone named kevin

And yes the tonal / logical contradictions of this song have not escaped me. This is a very human song, ai aint gonna write this shit for you.
