Survival Of The Fittest

What's up guys it's Blizzard, I was gonna do Weebtest 2 until this theme came to mind so y'all better thank me. Anyway in honour Ms. Alice Glass, whose song won me the last test, I present to you, the very first (somehow)



The theme is electronic and synth music! If it's got synths, electronic sounds that go beep boop or untz untz in a way no acoustic instrument does, etc., it counts! Trying not to be gatekeepy for this 'test so you got a pretty damn wide variety, there's a huge amount of genres and styles to choose from out there.

As always, the rules are hand-copypasted from the last 'test.

[+] RULES

- submit your song via PM or discord, whichever's easier for you

- songs will be randomly divided into 1, 2 or 3 semifinals depending on turnout. if there are less than 20 submissions within 5 days, then there will only be one final round. if you're going to be away at some point in the next couple of weeks, let me know and I can try to put your song in a round when you'll be here.

- listen to every song and give points to your top 10 favorites: 12 to your favorite, 10 to your second, 8 to your third, 7 to your fourth, and so on down to 1 point for your tenth favorite. if there are less than 10 songs to vote for in a round, then simply cut off the bottom portion of the ballot (i.e. no 1 point songs, no 2 point songs, and so on)

- if your song is in a given round, you must vote that round or you'll be eliminated. if your song isn't in that round (or you aren't in the contest at all), your vote will be counted as a public vote, which counts for half points.

- the top [x] songs will move on to the final. that number depends on the number of contestants.

- repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.

- winner gets to hold the next contest, or they can pass the job along to 2nd place if they don't want to. 2nd place can pass down to third, etc, until someone wants to host.

general song rules:
- no eurovision songs
- no reality show/competition covers
- no songs already submitted in a songtest
- there is no penalty for length in this contest. however, if a song goes over 7 minutes, listeners aren't obligated to listen to more than the first 7 minutes of the song. so choose a long song at your own risk!

each semifinal and the final will last for three days. some rules about activity:
- if you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those three days, let me know asap and I can move you to another semi, if we aren't on the final one already.
- I'll be pinging everyone who hasn't voted on discord 48 and 24 hours before the round ends.

Submissions shall be due SATURDAY AUGUST 5th, 5:00PM EST

Thanks for turning up tonight everybody! Peace. Love. Unity. Respect.

Thanks for hosting, Blizzo! & Thank you so much for all the votes for Paradise. I love their collabs together (and Sophie + the Giants in general is awesome) so have been attacking the replay button on this song since it came out last month.

I'll open the next round in a second as I'd like to give hosting a whirl this time.
