The site, in 2008
An online music shop where artists and labels upload their music, set their own prices and sell downloads, records and merchandise.
Launched on 16 September 2008 by Ethan Diamond, Shawn Grunberger, Joe Holt and Neal Tucker. Bandcamp Fridays in 2020, with its cut waived, raised over $40 million for artists. Epic Games bought it in 2022 and sold it in 2023.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
