.music — should you use it?
Generic TLD · introduced 2021
The short answer
Finally delegated after a decade of ICANN wars. Community-verified, artist-friendly, still building recognition.Why it works
- Verified music-community registrants only
- Obvious category fit
Why it might not
- Young; low public awareness
- Verification friction
The longer take
The .music saga took 10+ years of contention before delegation. The verification requirement keeps it clean. Adoption is early — you'd be betting alongside the registry.
