God forbid that you like something that someone told you was "problematic"
How would that even matter for an account that does nothing but play music?
That word is such a fucking cop-out too. It means next to nothing.
Chilled Cow has a song in the playlist with a sample from (I think) cow boy bebop about how women are bad.
That's it, really.
For some people having background music that doesn't demand your attention helps them focus and collect their thoughts. Silence lets your thought processes go uncontrolled, and other types of music can grab your attention instead of what you're working on.
I swear, it's like people don't understand what "to study to" means.
I'm glad everything turned out okay. I listened to this channel while I overworked myself back in 2018. It was a tough time for me but the music and the cool folks in the chat brought some peace to me. I ended up downloading a bunch of the albums on Apple Music.
It's also perfect background music for cooking/driving/working/fucking/showering/pooping/eating/...
I first saw this mentioned on twitter by Hbomberguy but then scrolled down and saw The Quartering retweeting it too, and that did my brain quite the confuse.
Glad to see it's back up now those. I like these channels.

Back 20 years ago there was an electronica sub-genre called "lounge". It served the same purpose, and was ideal for dinner parties or chatting with friends at hip cafes and bars.
Music doesn't need to be "in your face", dude.
Y'all remember this?
I feel like that was the proto-Lofi hip hop radio. After the jazz/rainy mood combo got big, you saw stuff like You Are Listening to LA pop up:
youarelistening.to
I linked the NY one since LA's is broken right now but it's the same concept.
Internet just wants y'all to relax.

The jazz video was uploaded in 2015 but I believe this link from 9 years ago is what started it.

You are listening to New York
Ambient music and live NYPD police radio. What's not to like?

I guess this is as good of a place to ask:
Where can I buy the music that plays on these channels? I love Chilledcow, and I'd love to support them and the artists they promote. Is there a prefered venue where I could buy the music in flac format? I don't know the artists personally, so I'd be fine with buying compilations.

I don't know about Chilledcow but for the synth/darkwave, and chipyune channels I listen to from time to time I'll go back, look up the artist and track name, and try to hunt down thier Bandcamp link if they have one. You can get flac through Bandcamp.
That reminds me so much of the bus ride I took to Hakone way back when. Damn. 😭
I think Bandcamp is generally the way to go for these artists. And, if they have another method, e.g. cassetes, cds, or vinyl, you can usually find that easily enough through their Bandcamp.
I love the chilled cow channel. glad its back up. out of curiosity, I looked on twitch, there are some very similar channels on it for 24/7 streaming stations.
It's a channel that help artists/producers gain attention. You actually need to submit your music for them to play it, via soundcloud and spotify page. Unless someone pretended to be some artist.
Usually these artists are already available in all major streaming platforms and music marketplaces, all you need to do is search for them. The stream/mix will usually the you who the artists are through the video, if it's not a stream, it will also be indicated in the description.
Are you talking about that time they played a song called "Women" that said "Women are all liars?" That was a sample taken from an episode of Cowboy Bebop. It starts 18 seconds into this video.
Which was essentially some bullshit people freaked out about for no reason.
People throw around problematic too goddamn much.
