“A lot of them have egos and are edgy and toxic,” explained marty_red, a popular Roblox TikToker, over Discord.
Largely populated by teens and even younger players, the scene has a reputation for trollish behavior. “The community can be very dangerous at times,” said a Robloxer known as DigitalCrimes, 14, over Discord, explaining that aggravating the wrong person can lead to nasty consequences - having your personal information leaked or worse, players prank-calling a SWAT team to raid your home. Audio makers sell methods of sneaking songs onto Roblox to one another like furtive weapons dealers some can go for thousands of Robux, or roughly $20-40. Known for their devious bypassing methods and taste for aggressive rap, they gather mostly on Discord in secret groups and chats run by exclusive collectives. They call themselves Roblox audio makers. So, who are these mysterious, influential players bypassing music into Roblox? That’s partly how robloxcore exploded, after dozens of players uploaded those types of tracks and trumpeted them with their boombox items, inspiring other users in the same in-game worlds to listen to the music and share it, too. While many players bypass tame mainstream music that would have otherwise been blocked because of copyright issues, a large contingent of users boost intense, expletive-packed underground rap music. (Methods include layering a song 32 times so the lyrics become deafening and indecipherable, or purposely raising or lowering its pitch so it sounds incoherent to moderators, before readjusting it in the game.) “Bypassing audio” refers to a technique where people distort or disguise an audio file so it slips through the detection systems meant to filter out offensive language and copyrighted tracks. Yet inventive users have devised a workaround.
Originally, the platform’s founders set a filter for profanity since it’s supposed to be child-friendly. While the platform’s makers praised how music has become one of its hallmarks - “the fact that Roblox is spawning a new music subgenre speaks to Roblox’s current generational and cultural ubiquity,” wrote Jon Vlassopulos, its global head of music, in an email - in actuality, many of its young users are doing things that are supposed to be forbidden, like hacking illicit music into the game. The closer you are to another user, the louder the music is for them. Inside worlds, you can equip an item called the “boombox” - a sparkly, golden speaker system - and broadcast the music to players around you. Music has become such a big part of the Roblox community for one major reason: Starting in late 2013, users became able to upload their own MP3s to the platform, which other players can access. The scene has made ripples in the underground music circuit, and earned a nod from Phoebe Bridgers on Twitter. Tunes like “Threat,” by lieu, a 13-year-old musician, emulate being inside a digital dimension where every bass thud and synth shake is an enemy you’re blowing past, every vocal stutter and short-circuited squeak a new obstacle to avoid. Mostly made by young teenagers, it’s a strain of chaotic, profanity-laden rap that’s overloaded with frantic sound effects. Last year the platform spawned its own music genre - robloxcore. They are “roleplays,” meaning the player performs a certain persona you can be a sheriff, a parent adopting a child, a pizza chef. Unlike Minecraft, a game that drops users into a fantastical “otherworld,” Roblox’s most popular mini-games (or, as Roblox calls them, “ experiences”) are rooted in real life. Roblox is a game-creation engine, first released in 2006, that allows players to customize their own sandbox worlds, create mini-games on multiplayer servers and enjoy a second life online as square-shaped beings called Robloxians. But there’s another, unlikely platform that’s picking up steam: Roblox. It takes 100 damage points to get a kill, so choose your weapon wisely.Artists, label heads and industry schemers know that success in pop music today requires racking up plays on TikTok and streaming services. Notes: You can perform a lunge by double-clicking your left-mouse button. Here’s an overview of the most powerful swords we have to offer and their damage statistics. The ROBLOX Catalog features a number of swords that deal huge damage and, in some cases, carry additional properties. There are many ways to make it big on ROBLOX – create an excellent game and design great assets, to name a couple – but it doesn’t hurt to be a legendary sword-fighter, either.
