General Info
Unfortunately I forgot what I wanted to write here.
Fortuately that allows me to start with an introduction:
I love to use BandCamp and search for new music.
Bandcamp seems to me like a pretty nice platform for both artists
"[citation needed]"
and users
"[citation needed]"
.
Thankfully there's this "Discovery" option that let's you search for music based on tags.
Until one day you find out that using multiple tags in your search for new music is not possible.
You like [your favourite genre]?
Also like [any other interesting genre]?
Well no crossovers for y'all! (at least with the default discovery solution)
End of Storytime, I got really pissed mildly annoyed, so I decided to address this "problem".
This is for @all, that want to extend their music horizon, without getting punished/infuriated/agitated/exhausted by Bandcamps UI/UX.

After using/fetching multiple tags/genres, you can use XXX to compare/filter the Albums based on including all selected tags.
The list will refresh ans show you all albums, that fit your criteria.

That's all (for now).
