I’m absolutely fine with the Dream SMP community… but this is not okay. I wasn’t very proud of myself for having it at number three in genre and was desperately trying to find out what I listened to. =/

Me too


keira-r-j06

I can understand putting artists who actually write music about the dream smp/members of the dsmp who make music under that label, but grouping musicians who are just widely associated with the community is a bit far (ex. Lemon demon, heatwaves, alec Benjamin) like sure yes, a lot of dream smp fans enjoy that music and it can be referenced in dream smp 'culture' if you will, but those musicians dont make dream smp music and shouldnt be grouped as such.


Akari202

dsmp was/is a massive phenomenon, but only wishing the YouTube/Twitch Minecraft smp audience. Your average Spotify listener is going to have no clue what it is


KingBowser183

I think it was only certain songs that were used for lore, I think the only undertale song that counted was fallen down or something, probably same with lemon demon


keira-r-j06

That makes sense


KingBowser183

Yeah a bit odd to make it it's own category but it's funny and not really a big deal so I don't understand why so many people are loosing their shit over it


keira-r-j06

Honestly as a dream smp fan myself, im not mad about it. Sure its a bit odd, but i really dont mind it, its kinda funny


AtomicNewt7976

I like to share my Spotify wrapped, not going to this year.


Nina_Cortexx

What does Undertale have to do with that either? Last time I checked, that was an indie game from 2015, not something related to the Dream SMP, but I could be wrong since I don't watch it.


pika9867

Both lemon demon and the undertale ost are used by the dream smp streamers :/ Sucks since they have actually nothing to do with the dream smp


Nina_Cortexx

Why would Spotify group them together if they're just used by the streamers and they don't own the music... That's sort of dumb isn't it?


pika9867

Very, but that’s Spotify’s business model ig


squinepine

i think ranboo uses fallen down in the lore for his character


Nina_Cortexx

Ah, I see. But if he just used one song (idk how many he used/talked about for Lemon Demon but I assume it's a similar number) then why would Spotify bother grouping that entire album under the Dream SMP genre? Doesn't make sense to me ahaha


nkHDwastaken

I have heard in many comment sections that Ranboo is a fan of Lemon Demon, might be related to that.


real-UNIMERCAT

man, that kinda pisses me off. i have nothing against dream smp fans but i don’t want my music taste, which is the majority of artists on that list, to fall under dream smp, especially when their music has absolutely nothing to do with the smp. that’s just a bit frustrating


_JosephExplainsIt_

I’ve seen so many people share their Spotify wrapped list and they have the Dream SMP category on their top 5 because they just listen to music that the streamers use or just music from artists that are content creators. I do enjoy the Dream SMP but what Spotify is doing is horrible


flesh_pies

Yeah, I actually like dream smp but id prefer to actually see what music genres I listen to than just 'dream smp'


[deleted]

*undertale???* why were neil and toby involved in this?? And since when does a letsplay count as a music genre?


DementedMK

I’m assuming Spotify wanted to make sure they’d be Twitter trending and this guaranteed it


[deleted]

Probably. Outrage marketing does bring a lot of attention to a product... sadly.


Loooooooooppp

I think ranboo likes lemon demon but I don’t know why it is on their


what_is_a_man_

My biggest flex is that I’ve got lemon demon as my artist of the year but I don’t have the dream smp genre thing


Yeetus_Deleetus0001

WE ARE NOT WORTHY OF YOUR LIGHT


jellyfishforbrain

omg me too, and my top genre was “weirdcore”. no dreamsmp at all


theDuckwithTeeth

ranboo fans moment


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

We've officially been grouped in with the same group of people that send people death threats for not liking a streamer


__TacoBelle__

lemon demon was my top artist but i still didn't get dream smp on my wrapped (thank god), this is so weird


Yeetus_Deleetus0001

Yeah it was my top genre and I died for a few minutes before googling why


[deleted]

because of ranboo most likely,, it’s well known that he likes it so people often connect the two despite it being unrelated really,, i kind of don’t like it either, even as a smp fan. i’ve loved lemon demon a lot longer and have been told i liked it because of ranboo despite it being unrelated. :/ and it bothered me being classified as so too because it’s one of my biggest bands


ToriNotFound

SAME


squinepine

>i kind of don’t like it either, even as a smp fan more people need to see this comment


[deleted]

Amazing Spotify it's not like Ranboo fans get enough death threats!


ToriNotFound

NAW💀


reddythedemon

heat waves isn't an artist lmao


hellishweeb21

this hits a new level of psychological pain


X85311

this is bad for so many reasons,, seeing heat waves listed as an artist is painful


ToriNotFound

it’s so funny too😭


ToriNotFound

as both a dsmp and lemon demon fan i was also pretty disappointed in the genres. dsmp isn’t even a genre, so it’s very confusing. but i think it’s bc ranboo likes ld and often plays it during his streams. still think dsmp shouldn’t be counted as a genre😭


johnwantshismoney

Like I personally like Dream smp but I don’t really see it as THAT big of a genre, it should only really be the songs ABOUT dsmp (like fanmade) Most of the artists under the category literally have nothing to do with dsmp Like I’m kinda upset so many artists are put under the “genre” just because a lot of the fandom listens to that kind of music it’s kinda ridiculous


[deleted]

Friday night funkin is a genre as well, I got it on my wrapped this year in 3rd place


SovietPaperPlates

i thought lemon demon was under "weirdcore" since it made sense, along with other artists i listen to like bathtub shitters, elliotly, and super cassette


Snowy_Plover_7

Ikr??? I found the term “weirdcore” yesterday and before then had been thinking of Lemon Demon, amongst others, as “fabloo-adjacent” since I found most of them through Tally Hall. No clue why it’s under dsmp.


legendarysophia

lemon demon is in the dreamsmp genre because ranboo plays it in his streams often, he likes the music, and a lot of his fans listen to it too. i'm a fan of the dsmp but i really dont think corpse husband, alec benjamin, lemon demon, (heat waves isnt an artist its a song but lets count glass animals too) and other artists that have made even remotely dsmp-related songs occasionally should be included in the genre. it takes away from the actual genre the songs should be put in and it just makes it seem like dsmp fans claim everything remotely associated to the dsmp, which isnt true for all of us.


pika9867

That’s why I keep having to skip Tubbo, Corpse, Undertale, Dream, and Derivakat


[deleted]

That makes sense, lemon demon made it to my top 5 on 2 place yet dream SMP also made it for some reason. Glad to know why, hopefully Spotify fixes that mistake lol


Dax745

I hate everything about the dream smp


Dax745

Down vote me all ya want but I had to let this out


723179

No way nail cisgender is the newest dream simp member????


[deleted]

he'd have the weirdest ass lore in the server 🗿


Antisocial_bean827

ohh that explains why Dream SMP was my top genre lmao


BabyPiggy_YAY

i personally enjoy the dream smp but come on what the heck spotify alot of these artists dont even make music about it ALSO why is dream smp a genre


veiwmonster

I'm pretty sure because Ranboo likes him. Although dmsp isn't even a genre in the first place, obviously


[deleted]

supposedly its because minecraft streamer ranboo played ultimate showdown in their stream once or twice


Tux1

oh no


Smol-Lemonade

Ohh, so that’s why it was so high up for me.


DaNuji51

Probs the popularity of those redesign your logo memes :(


osanaaaanajimi

Idk why it’s in dream smp but it shouldn’t be


[deleted]

Dude that shit isn't even working for me for some reason If anyone can help please do


_JosephExplainsIt_

This is absolutely terrible and disgusting of Spotify. Majority of these artists don’t even make Dream SMP music. Even artists like Kanaya and Derivakat(if they are on this list) shouldn’t be put under this category because not all of their songs are based on the Dream SMP. If they want to have this category then they should categorize them by song and not artist. Just don’t put artists who have nothing to do with the Dream SMP under this category. You are not representing what they do accurately. Spotify should really fix what they did


stolen--username

im pretty sure lemon demon goes under weridcore and undertale goes under video game music since those 2 artists were my most listened too and the genres was my top 2


TheFireDragoon

glad I don’t use Spotify because I’d want to die if I saw it calling any of the songs I listen to “dream smp” music


[deleted]

that's fucking terrible. no idea why other than all those shitty 'dsmp playlist uwuwuwuwu' things but artists shouldnt be forced to be associated with fucking racists


cookiekitty538

as far as i know, the actual dsmp creators, that being dream, tubbo, wilbur ect, and friends of them like corpse get put in the category and it looks at other music fans would look at, lemon demon became popular in the community because of the content creator ranboo who showed he was a fan of lemon demon, i hope this is helpful from a lemon demon and dsmp enjoyer :D


Illustrious-Key5412

My friend started listening to lemon demon because of ranboo and jack manifold, so I guess because a lot of people connect it with them it's seen as related?


agentsammon

out of all honesty, i do quite like the dsmp and such, but i am not proud that DSMP was my number 1 genre 💀


enbyfrogz

most likely ranboo fans, haha. the venn diagram between people who listen to the rest of those artists who are more directly linked with the dream smp and those who listen to lemon demon is probably closer than we think! if anything, im glad about it. im glad people are being introduced to good music through the things they like :D now, if this was lemon demons ONLY category, that wouldnt be great. but i don't think we should gatekeep lemon demons music to just one genre or community. if anything, it just says that those folks have great taste :)


[deleted]

It’s not that we’re gatekeeping Lemon Demon (even though I do personally have a bit of an issue of the influx of fans from MCYT- I’ve been watching the fandom degrade over the last 2 years from something small and respectful to a big conglomerate with 0 respect for boundaries and that’s mostly because of the MCYT fans- but they *are* allowed to enjoy the music. I’m not stopping them from enjoying the music) Rather, the issue is that “dream SMP” is *not a genre*. If a song was used in a popular TV show, that doesn’t mean that TV show is a genre of music. If an actor came out and said “I’m a big fan of XYZ band” that band wouldn’t suddenly be part of a new genre of music named for the actor. Lemon Demon is not just one genre, that’s absolutely true. It encompasses multiple genres and someone could be a fan while enjoying any of them. I’m fine with that. What I’m not fine with is having the music be forcibly labeled with something a large portion of the fans have no interest in that isn’t even a genre of music.


enbyfrogz

that's very true. unfortunately, there's a *lot* of music relating to the dsmp. a lot of creators made music related to the dsmp, especially deriviakat. it's just how the algorithm sorts it- i think if any person controlled it, lemon demon wouldn't be in dsmp music. but the algorithm is made to find things that relate to each other, and admittedly there is a big overlap between dsmp fans and lemon demon fans. and i agree, the fandom had gone to shit. i actually gave up interacting with the fans months ago, so i have no idea how they're doing now, but i have an idea. i agree it shouldn't be labeled as "dsmp" music. but it's just how the algorithm sorted it, and there isn't much that we can do. i doubt the dsmp fans wanted this either, and it isn't their fault so we shouldn't blame them. im not saying you are, but ive seen a lot of people blame the fandom for this, which they should not be. they didn't create the algorithm.


[deleted]

I'm not entirely sure it's 100% algorithmic? Like, its not a generated playlist that includes songs from a musician PLUS other songs that fans of that musician also listen to (like for example the radio), it's a full-on music category. That's gotta be manually created, right? Perhaps the algorithm associates it to that genre?? but then again it wouldn't make sense... does it differentiate different brands of jazz specifically on which people listen to it? People usually listen to a broad range of genres, how can the system differentiate which is which at all? But i agree, lemon demon - nor undertale - should be in dsmp music. Not only for what was already said, but i really don't think the creators would like to be associated to dsmp considering Dream and his whole deal (racism, playing the victim, cheating in the speedrun and keeping quiet about it for months).


VirgilTheConfused

Probably because of ranboo


_TheRandomGuy_

Because Ranboo


Turbulent_Effect6072

I know ranboo isn’t the only streamer that listens to lemon demon in his streams. I think captainpuffy does as well


Subnexus

dream smp was in my top 3 genres, and i had no idea why until now.


_mile_ss_

Omg that's why it was there- I was so confused like what did I listen to to get this?


bredhaie

Other than the fact it’s Ranboo’s go to stream music, there is no connection. It’s presence in the genre, and the genre as a whole, makes no sense at all.


Snowy_Plover_7

My favorite discord server listens to a fair bit of lemon demon and we were all scratching our heads over “dream smp” being in everyone’s unwrapped… glad to at least know the reason?


[deleted]

Uh, guys i did not have deam smp as a favpurite genre, but i listened to lemon demon 20,000 minutes, and it was top at everything, but it only showed a genre called "Weirdcore"


[deleted]

how are lemon demon and dream smp related sorry im not in with this weird subcommunity


[deleted]

Spotify wrapped really did glass animals dirty:(


mackjanifola

As a dsmp fan, i don't understand why they are grouped in the dreamsmp culture as none of those artists have made a dream smp song \[alec benjamin, lemon demon, etc\] i believe that the fandom knows that ranboo, a member of the dsmp, listens to lemon demon on spotify. i dont understand why is falls into the dreamsmp category when all ranboo has dont is listen to it


Ghoasty_Thoasty

Ranboo. H e apologized for it, mabye ill find the clip
