After 17 years, a group of Redditors have identified “The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet.” It’s just the beginning.
Now that 'The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet” has been located, it leaves behind an entire subculture of “lostwave” music that stretches from cassette tapes to Spotify . Even amid their success, many investigators are unsure about what happens to the community now that its goal has been achieved. What happens to lost media once it’s been found? We now know the song in question is called “Subways of Your Mind” by FEX, but until Monday, it had lived up to its sobriquet for 17 years.
“It was a very likely way to solve our riddle,” says Arne, a moderator of the subreddit who posts under the handle LordElend , “since this was a good explanation as to why an amateur band tape would have been aired on NDR, which usually had high standards.” A search of local government archives turned up thousands of pages on Hörfest, but they wouldn’t be easy to comb through. “We realized that 800 bands, most obscure and not on Google, will need a larger group of researchers,” says Arne.
