Suno users report listening almost exclusively to their own AI-generated music instead of songs by professional artists

Suno users report listening almost exclusively to their own AI-generated music instead of songs by professional artists

3 Key Points

  1. Users in the Suno subreddit describe a pattern of consuming primarily their own AI-generated music over traditional streaming platforms like Spotify, with one user reporting 2239 listens to their own AI music in the last 365 days.

  2. Users cite two main reasons: that AI-generated music matches their taste better than work by real artists, and that they can access specific genre combinations (such as country/rap or electronic dance/rap) through AI generation.

  3. The article's author attributes the behavior to either narcissism—potentially a byproduct of hyper-personalization—or laziness, suggesting that AI offers a shortcut for people who want to see themselves as musicians without learning an instrument, or who find discovering new music through traditional means too time-consuming.
