You are 1000000x more likely to get quality feedback and connect with fellow artists than just about any other site. Simple as

for me i just kinda liked how much easier it felt to post my music stuff

its a lot less stressful to post shitty songs in a place full of people who post (more or less) equally shitty songs


im in there with you

Geometry Dash, originally.

Yes, I was the person on the forums asking “HOW DO I GET MY MOOSICS ON THE CUBEY GAME” and begging for scout, come at me bro


I think I've lost my mind and I love it

I grew up with Newgrounds media, from famous Flash animations/games to iconic music made popular through Geometry Dash. When I started my music production journey, I wanted to contribute to that legacy of creativity, to "break new ground" so to speak. (And also in hopes of seeing my music used by GD creators, because of course)

Hah same, but I didn't share it on forums, I was putting tags like "scout-me" or "for-gd"...


I exist.

Pm me here I'm bored as fuck, also my discord: teh_snsqrs

Having a great deja vu feeling from this thread...

I suppose that I had an account mostly to save my medals from playing games. At some point I wanted to post stuff but all I knew was making music, so that's what I did. Looking back I really sucked lol!!! But I guess it's part of the evolution


BBS Signature

It seemed like a better alternative to Soundcloud. And, surprise surprise. It's still better than Soundcloud. B)

Same… some random yt video called “THE BEST WAY TO GET YOUR MUSIC ON GEOMETRY DASH!!!!1!!1” told me that would work lol.

Turns out, I actually just had to make quality stuff, and the whitelist happened without me actually doing anything! Who would’ve thought…


I think I've lost my mind and I love it

every other place sucks. also there are more hot bitches on newgrounds

I use NewGrounds to dump music that I'm either not using or otherwise wouldn't be using.


I'm creating like 10 tracks a week, only end up using 2 or 3 of them for projects, and just didn't want the rest to go to waste.


I've got Two (two) Phones (Phones)

so if I forget to pay distrokid my music does not disappear of the face of the earth

i just love support people´s proyects and have mutual feedback to improve...also, i think is so much fun see the crazy art and stuff the people share here!


To gain an audience and make more music for video games, also so my mom can’t find my work and take it away or something


your mom


Idk, just love music and been in ng for a while... so, I kinda like to share stuff I create sometimes.


Don't click here!


To make a scene. I seek a loyal fanbase that knows the hiphop and electronic vibes I'm going for. There is also just a general vibe for posting on newgrounds added it's anti censorship. I'm going for maximum vibes and zen, hopefully inspiring others on the simple act of posting cool shit.

Started out on a website called "Musicshake" - eventually I progressed to using a DAW and was too intimidated to post my music on Soundcloud. That was back in 2011. I've come back now to bathe in nostalgia and field test upcoming releases in a stress free environment.



Bandlab was/is a crappy platform to share music on and I wanted an excuse to make a Newgrounds account anyways since I was playing games like Punk-o-Matic 2 and Newgrounds Rumble


At first it was just another platform that let you post your stuff…


But then you realize NG has forums so you can kinda talk to other musicians instead of just browsing portfolios mindlessly. And then you find out there's a music community that actually tries to inspire every level of musician through creative contests? Also of course…NG hosts creatives of other media that could potentially use your music, which makes it much easier to bridge that collaboration rather than on a strictly music-sharing site.

I played Geometry Dash and thought I could write songs just as well. How wrong I was. It's been a while, and I'm still a low-ranking songwriter :3


wanted to connect with other musicians, to discover non AI music, and to share my own tunes. i got on a grind of making things and after uploading stuff to youtube, for literally no reason at all, i just thought i should upload to NG. when uploading my first songs, i discovered that AI isn’t allowed here and kind of thought this must be the place


my dude

BBS Signature

Jesus christ, Geometry Dash of course. But lord, I could care less about having my songs in that game now. I don’t even use them in the game.


Rawr! X3

BBS Signature

because soundcloud is ass

youtube irks me

clyp.it died and deleted my data

discord is a wall garden


NG does not do any """"optimization"""" to save bandwidth


I feel like making VGM music and such in the future, so what better place to go for feedback/recognition than here?


BBS Signature

it was about time


i've been making music for three years, i finally decided to put something out on all platforms


i've been playing geometry dash since 2015, so that game was the gateway towards this platform



wanted to be the next big thing

got older and more realistic, so now im just posting stuff i liked making and hoping everyone else will enjoy it as much as i did


Bandcamp | Ko-Fi | John Wall of Sound's Bandcamp

one of these days i'll have a proper website lmao
