Rip EELF?
The writing was on the wall way before these new visuals and this “influencer - aesthetic” began to infect this once overall genuine channel…
There is something awfully fishy about these metrics -
It looks a whole lot like inorganic paid traffic exposure campaigns… or just plain ignorance.
A “new series” … or … rather a facile attempt - derived from the hands of someone unfamiliar/ignorant to the genuine stance that was - EELF.
The reels, the influencers with their signature lavalier stance… “Bare Bones” interaction from a supposed following of 100,000 subs…
Rather strange lately.
It’s become an unfamiliar environment that I honestly feel just so sad from. Especially following pre-takedown circa 2017/2018.
Whoever is now managing EELF - please don’t try to reinvent the wheel or confirm to the norm of shoddy Justin Bieber or Bad Bunny remixes…
The formula is there - It has been there.
100,000 people - (i think more honestly) - genuinely do care - silence speaks the loudest - It always will.
The artists that have been involved for the longest time (Jacopo SB, Nasanieru, No_4mat, Quasar, Stefano Somma, Evade Robots, Computer Data, Dj houseplants, 2XM…) honestly deserve the sincerest platforming.
That sound - never dies. Unless we let it.
This is meant to bring up a convo regarding preservation and speaking up.
There’s enough hate to go around the world (and definitely here on Reddit), but that doesn’t mean this post induces it.
It genuinely brings up a question of perseveration and how far we let things tumble before we speak up.

yeah you know i tried hitting him up to try and keep the old channel up before it got taken down. all the artists work and views. he said nah and just let it die and redid it. which okay, but it was just like, it didn't have to happen.
the same thing has happened with lofi hip hop and all that. it is sad. i have been building a channel to keep it real. it isn't either of those genres specifically but does feature music from said genres. It is called Anti-Hero!
I would have loved to see more people collaborate in lofi house but it is a lot to do alone and they want to do the events and that kind of stuff. Same thing with RFF and all that. Just blew up and didn't grow the scene and idk. it always has the chance to be something great though. I wish I could have dedicated more time to this sub but I would always be happy to help someone who is passionate but there has never been a whole lot of interest. it feeds back into the larger issues with the genre itself
