All my music was on Napster...I don't get this question at all.

I mean the music today that you own or listen to.
This "clarification" is just even more confusing. Like do you mean, "What would be the effect on history if we could all see into the future, but only through song?" I guess I'd hope that we'd try better to stop 9/11, COVID, and Trump.
So... Funny story. My brother found System of a Downs Toxicity on Limewire or whatever months before it came out and burned me a copy. I listened to it non stop and bought the album when it came out.
Listening to the official Deer Dance I noticed that they changed the song just slightly between my brothers version and the release. That was pretty wild.
I wonder if the leaked version is still on the net anywhere.
I still have a leaked version of Cosmogramma that's slightly different.
All of my music was shared on Napster in 1999.
I like to think it had a direct affect on the music selection for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 and Bill Gate's decision to step down as CEO of Microsoft to focus on charitable works. But, in reality, it likely had no affect on history.
I think the people of 1999 would be overwhelmed by the staggering number of different heavy metal subgenres we have in 2024. And very few of them would download any of it. So not much would change.
Most people wouldn't know what to search for.
Back in the day when I found a user hosting good music I would go browse their other files. I discovered a lot of great shit that way.
