23 years old... been on audiotool for nearly five years now
probably more inactive than ever despite i still love audiotool and allat stuff... really sucks too cause man has the audiosphere changed over the years, and it doesn't help a lot of the users whose music i've grown to love over and over AND OVERRR again either be inactive as heck or delete their accounts entirely (raising a flame for 1trillionmph..:<)
the charts are... completely different and while i AM glad to see users that aren't known getting charts now, it's definitely... a whole mixed bag and its not uncommon for the same 3 people to suddenly chart like 3-5 of their songs (looking at you elow xd) so it feels like im seeing a repeat of what i used to see a lot back but... different? idk
audiotool as a whole has changed for... the something! i dont hate it and even tho there are def some wacky decisions but... audiotool's still my place and i ain't gonna depart from it no matter what
it's still the only place in the entire internet where i was able to actually make music and be creative with it without needing to know all the high end and back and forth details of the site in order to well, DO something!!
idk where audiotool will be at in another five years but.. wowie am i starting to feel the same things the veterans of this place felt when THEY had to deal with the changes and slewths of new users coming in and out
i still can barely believe im 23 man... i mean, im still GOOD OL ME but like... it's such a melancholy feeling, knowing i used to be here at only 17... and now im half a decade into college, still working for my degree, knowing all the people i used to know as a teen, before covid, are grown and living their own lives or even having their own KIDS man
i still cant BELIEVE my youngest brother is 20 now. 20!!!!
im still a (non toxic) manchild and 23 IS still very young and still in the "im still trying to begin and do something with life" stage but.. kids born in the 2010s are now becoming teens bro.
happy bday to goofy me xd
