I found an awesome 80s style cover of one of the Kpop Demon Hunters songs on YouTube. I still like it — but the channel has dozens of videos including 5-6 of any given song, they make more than one a day, and when people ask them to go on Spotify, they say they won’t — which is interesting because Spotify just banned AI generated music. So I’m 99% sure they’re an AI band. My point is, I can’t help liking the song, so I feel like we’re screwed because that could happen to anyone. (FWIW I’ve downloaded the song so I can play it offline. So they don’t make money from my plays.)
So my question is. How do we know? And what can we do?


Depending on your music taste, this is bad or even impossible advice. A significant number or genres I listen to generally don’t perform live, let alone anywhere near me.
Yeah, I’d love to see SrenHlimMrews live, but … I don’t live in Chengdu where I could haunt underground clubs for the rare times they pop up to play.
