Why should they say?
Cherry-picking the detail you find most provocative and rushing to the comments to copy and complain about it is a recipe for poor-quality discussion. We're trying for better than that on HN. Especially in this case, where the provocation could not be more off topic. You should leave such things where you find them, not drag them in here and set them on fire. I'm sure that wasn't your intent—and really the upvoters do the greater part of the damage—but it is the effect nevertheless.

I also thought that comment felt very out of place in the article.
Per her Twitter, she views concentrations of white men in the music industry as "alarming" and "egregious." She encourages artists to boycott lineups where white men happen to comprise the majority of the artists. Her twitter replies, likes, and selective capitalization of white/Black indicate a strong ideological alignment.

Why is race and gender so cheaply brought into everything, regardless if it has any relevancy?
hip hop has a racial bias. I think that makes this somewhat relevant to note.
Just explaining why, I'm not making a normative claim here.
what kind of perspective adds this? there's no such thing as "white European" in Europe. This is an Americanism

What are you adding to that fact that makes you upset?
Edit: not sure why autocorrect turned jaylib into kaylin..
No, the article isn't saying that, that's what makes the sentence cited by parent seem so gratuitous to a random reader like me.
(There is a section that mentions the names of some musicians who contributed to the genre, but without specifying their nationality or racial background).
PS It seems that the name Kaylin is not in the article.
In Europe, it does not have meaning. blackness and whiteness is not a thing in the way it is in America.
Europeans only become white or black when they move to America or Americans address them.
Hope this helps
That "an" is an important an.
LoFi/Chillhop is more along the lines of Ambient, with much less overall variation of tone/structures during the track or between tracks.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is the incentive driving artists to work with these record labels rather than self-publishing? Is it not possible to "self-publish" to Spotify and Apple Music without a record label? Is it strictly to increase exposure in the way mentioned in this paragraph, i.e. to have their music included in various mixes/albums from different labels?
Finally, what is the barrier to starting a record label that anyone would want anything to do with? I would (in my ignorance) think that an artist would have more leverage here, since they already belong to the community
Of course it's possible. Good luck getting any streams, though.
We're talking about "milennial muzak" here. It's consumed by playlist first, as background noise. For the most part certain artists don't merit their own solo fanbases.
