Groove Music is the label attached to the state of disappointment that teenagers suffer when their parents buy their first smartphone as an affordable choice. They wanted Apple Music but it didn’t happen because they got a Lumia.

Apparently it’s on Windows 10 but everyone just installs iTunes or Spotify much like no one gives a shit about Edge and just installs chrome these days.

That says more about the platform than you or their marketing. The whole thing is rotting from the outside in.

The popularity of tech is almost entirely shaped by marketing, something which is Microsoft's weak spot.

It's really not. The discard rate of MSFT tech is pretty high. The amount of times I've seen people discard their WP handset decrying it as a "fucking pile of unreliable broken shit" is quite ridiculous.
