Rules and Guidelines

1. No music from the 'Hall of Fame'
Do not post music from the HoF, unless it's a new release, and flaired as such.

2. No "discussions" about, of, or for yourself.
Discussions about music are great. Avoid discussions 'about you.'

3. Artist - Title [Genre] Optional text
Streaming music submissions include the artist, song name, and genre, using this format. Optional additional text may only be included after this part of the title.

4. 30-day artist repost limit
Music by artists who recently had a popular post (100+ upvotes) is automatically removed for the next 30 days to ensure content is fresh. If your post is removed, consider trying another artist.

5. No clickbait titles or emotional appeals
Music should stand on its own. No emotional appeals, asking for votes, or other 'clickbait' titles. Use the comments section to share interesting stories about music.

6. High-quality discussions only
Discussion posts should be thoughtfully crafted to encourage meaningful, civil, and constructive conversation; avoid low-effort requests for artist, song, or album recommendations.

7. Don't post your own music
Users must read and understand self-promo guidelines before posting.

8. No /r/ifyoulikeblank, /r/tipofmytongue, or request-style posts

11. No links to unauthorized music leaks or promotion of piracy
