Chvrches have said it's because they knew they'd be impossible to google otherwise.^[1]^

Some classic historian/Romeaboo please correct me, but iirc in Latin the “v” was actually used as a “u”. So for artists like Sewerslvt and CHRVCHES they are technically using it in that context and it’s kinda cool.

Alvvays is just doing a stylized “w” and it looks dumb, 0/10.

Ugh, I wish the band "Being" would've done something like that - searching that word on streaming services and in music players returns everything but them.

It's not my playlist so I cant change it (also rule 2 friends), but when I saw it I assumed the v was replacing a w, as in a bastardized version of wunderbar 🤷

Is LVL1 not just "Level 1"? Or could it be "Lovely"? I want to know now. Lol

Is this V-specific? I don't have Spotify, but I'd like to contribute an artist with similar styling: KXNG Crooked

The last one in the thumbnail doesn't fit.
