The internet saw one guy’s YouTube video of him doing a 4-part arrangement of Wellerman and now everyfuckingbody thinks they love sea shanties.

    I liked sea shanties before they were cool

    Started for me with Muppet Treasure Island, then reinforced with Assassin's Creed Black Flag.

    I got into it because of the Aubrey/Maturin novels. They mention a few of them in there and I made a playlist of them.

    Then I created an Irish Rock Pandora station for March and that had a ton more.

    This one is my favorite, but the whole album is a banger

    Thanks for that.

    I mean, I know what it's like to have "tourists" invading your space after some trend blows up, but there could very much be a new wave of people who have grown to love or enjoy a sea shanty or two now. If people aren't introduced to something, how would they ever know they like it?

    If a person liked a venre enough to make a playlist, I'd say they're enough of a fan. It's like people who are discovering the fun in "classical" (baroque, classical, romantic, etc.) music.
