Snide

Snide was a Sputnikmusic.com user. They used Sputnik as a platform to promote their musical project, Black Malachite. From 2016-2017, Snide would frequently posting their lists advertising their music, which would receive polarizing criticism and disapproval from a large number of Sputnik users. [1]

In 2018, Snide announced they were leaving the site to focus on their degrading mental health and to explore their gender identity.

Black Malachite
In July 2016, Snide published the album Distortion World under the name "Black Malachite". Reception was mixed, and this continued throughout their stay on the site with every subsequent album release. The EP 'Rage' received the worst with a peak average rating of 1.2/5, while the album 'Motion' received the best with a peak average rating of 3.5/5.

Wedding Controversy
Snide thought it would be funny if they told the entire website that they were getting married. Most congratulated them upon hearing the news. When the word got out that it was just a prank they pulled with their best friend in Las Vegas, reaction from the user base was negative and blowback for that continued until they left the site.
