Memories

Memories are quick recaps of a karaoke night (a note, photos, a social link, and vibe tags) shared by singers who were there.

What Memories are

A Memory captures what a karaoke night actually felt like, shared by someone who was there. Each one is attached to a specific karaoke night or dated event, not to a bare venue.

They are not star ratings or generic venue reviews. A good Memory helps another singer decide whether a night feels like their kind of room.

Who can see them

Memories are members-only. You need to log in to read a full Memory, and we never put a complete Memory, your name, or your photos on a public, search-indexed page.

What's public today is the aggregated Room report below (counts and vibe tags). In the future we also plan to add a short AI-generated summary of the night on the listing page. It would draw on what Memories say but leave out anything that could identify you or anyone else — no names, and nothing quoted that would single a person out — so the open directory could describe the vibe without revealing whose words it came from.

Either way, treat a Memory as visible to every logged-in member: other singers can read the whole thing, including your photos. Don't post anything you wouldn't want other members to see.

What to share

  • A short note about the crowd, sound, song flow, or welcome.
  • How long you stayed and roughly how many times you sang. This is the single most useful signal for someone wondering "if I show up at 9pm, will I get to sing?"
  • Vibe tags grouped by what singers actually care about: sound and mic, host (including how fair the rotation felt), atmosphere, and music style. You can also add your own.
  • Photos you took at the night, when they are appropriate to share. See the image guidelines for what is allowed.
  • A link to a public social post you are comfortable attaching.

The Room report

Each karaoke night, event, and venue shows a Room report aggregated from everyone's Memories: the typical stay length, the typical number of songs sung, and which tags people endorsed most often per category. In the future, the listing page may also show a short AI-generated summary that draws on these Memories, always with personal details removed. It grows more useful the more singers share. Early Memories carry a lot of weight.

How Memories show up

Memories appear as a tile gallery on karaoke night pages, dated event pages, venue Memory pages, city pages, profiles, and the homepage. Tap a tile to open the full Memory in an overlay with photos, tags, social link, and comments. Share an individual Memory by copying the URL while it's open. The link reopens it for the next signed-in visitor.

Posting a Memory

Post from a karaoke night you actually attended. Start from the night, the event, or the recent nights page. You need to be logged in with a public username. Memories are for recent nights only, while the details are still fresh: a dated event can be recapped for about two weeks (14 days) after it starts, and a night without a specific event for up to 90 days.

Replies, edits, and reports

Other members can like your Memory and agree with its vibe tags, and they can leave comments. If a conversation isn't welcome, you can turn off replies on a Memory from its edit screen. Existing comments stay visible, but no new ones can be added. You can edit or delete your own Memory at any time.

Memories are moderated after they are posted. If you see one that is spammy, harassing, off-topic, or breaks the image guidelines, report it with the Send feedback button at the bottom of any page and a moderator will review it.

Common questions

Is a Memory the same as a review?

No. A Memory is about one karaoke night you attended, not a score for the venue. Share what would help another singer understand the room, the rotation, the sound, the crowd, or how welcoming it felt.

Why should I post one?

Your Memory helps other singers decide whether a night fits them before they go. Even a short note can answer practical questions like how busy it felt, how often people got to sing, and what the vibe was like.

Who can see my Memory?

Logged-in members can read the full Memory, including photos. Public search-indexed pages only show aggregated signals like the Room report, not your full text, name, or photos.

How do public summaries handle negative comments?

Your Memory is your own firsthand social post, so you can share what the night was like for you. Public summaries are different: they should stay factual and reflect clear patterns, not turn one person's negative experience into a public claim. If several Memories point to the same practical issue, such as a slow rotation or hard-to-hear sound, that pattern may be summarized in a neutral way.

Can I share a negative experience?

Yes. You can be honest about your own experience in a Memory. Keep it firsthand and about the karaoke night, and do not use it to harass, expose, or make personal attacks against people.

Do I need to write a lot?

No. A few specific details are enough: how long you stayed, whether the rotation moved, how the sound felt, and what kind of crowd showed up.

Can I post about an older night?

Memories are meant to stay fresh. A dated event can usually be recapped for about two weeks (14 days) after it starts, and a recurring night without one specific event can be recapped for up to 90 days.

Can I edit or delete a Memory later?

Yes. You can edit or delete your own Memory at any time. You can also turn off new replies if you do not want a conversation attached to it.

Can I include photos?

Yes, if they are your photos, you have the right to share them, and anyone clearly shown is comfortable being included. Ordinary alcohol context is fine in Memory photos; avoid photos that embarrass, expose, harass, or show someone in an unsafe or illegal situation.
