{ The My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fandom (also known as the brony fandom) has had a large musical subculture, often referred to as brony music, since the show's premiere in 2010. Fan-created music has become one of the most prominent aspects of the brony community, encompassing multiple genres and styles, such as classical guitar, rock, and electronic dance music. A number of brony artists have achieved significant followings both within and outside the fandom, with several tracks going viral and gaining recognition from mainstream music publications. According to a 2018 study on the brony fandom, 70% of respondents reported that they listened to brony music almost daily. The brony music scene has evolved significantly since its inception, developing distinct subgenres and even fostering collaborations between fan creators and official show talent. Fandom musicians like Ken Ashcorp gained substantial followings during the fandom's early years. More recently, artists like Vylet Pony have achieved mainstream recognition beyond the fandom, with some of their tracks appearing in mainstream media despite their My Little Pony-themed origins. The fandom continues to produce new content even after the conclusion of the television series in 2019. Since 2020, with the introduction of 15.ai, AI-generated vocals and AI song covers have seen frequent use in brony music. Brony conventions, such as BronyCon and Everfree Northwest, feature brony musicians at their dedicated music festivals. Several brony musicians, like The Living Tombstone and Odyssey Eurobeat, who gained popularity creating pony-themed content, have successfully transitioned to mainstream music careers. {
