...to the most self indulgent shit i've done in a while!

this is chillwaves, named and modeled after shitty 2010s 8tracks and music blog core aesthetics. this is dreamwidth we're on a truckstop journal website that looks straight outta 2007. let's own it and have some fun and share some banger music in the process.

this comm's whole thing is music - more specifically, playlists, mixtapes, fanmixes, literally ANYTHING that involves putting four or more songs together by different artists as a set. share your playlists! share their cover art and track-lists and spotify embeds and even pics of your physical copies of them if you do that too! do whatever! have fun!

some ground rules:

1. be respectful and kind. keep it chill here. any bigotry will result in an immediate ban.
2. all playlist posts must include at least one playlist. you can either just drop a streaming link or go all out with a list and cover art, whatever you want!
3. multiple playlists per post are allowed
4. non-playlist posts must be about music and/or playlists in some regard, including discussion on music recording formats or playlist making or anything that might suit the community. if you're unsure, feel free to comment here
5. if needed, provide content warnings for the subject matter of your playlist if it's something heavy or potentially triggering
6. recommendations of playlists by other people are allowed, though you might wanna get permission before sharing it if you don't know the person? up to you though i don't think there's anything necessarily harmful about sharing a public playlist

tag guidelines:

• this is pretty low pressure for the record
• tag your non-fandom playlists as "playlist", tag your fanmixes as "fanmix"
• for fanmixes, optionally, you can tag the fandom with the prefix "fandom:" followed by the fandom name. for instance, the first fanmix posted here is tagged as "fandom: kamen rider"
• if you post photos of a cassette mixtape or burned CD, tag them as "mixtape" (and/or "tape") or "cd" respectively
• tag non-playlist posts as "discussion"

resources and more:

• resources & mini tutorials by yours truly: a chillwaves exclusive! there's some basic info on burning CDs and recording cassette tapes in there, with more resources to be added

optional posting format:

(this is completely optional, format however you want, but if you don't know how to format and want a template then use the template below and edit as needed)

that's about it! comment if you have any questions!
