>skinny ugly chudoid makes over $50 million playing with cracked music programs on his laptop

what exactly is so hard about making money?

>>62381853
finding someone to give you theirs

I would hardly call him ugly. He's average looking, fit and rich.

> t. 300lb

you're exactly right OP. he just "plays" with music programs, much like an infant would play with little plastic cars and giant lego pieces.
>>
>>62381853
>Why does he look like a guy who would troon out?
Figuring out a niche and being successful at it is most people problem.
>>
>>62381853
>what exactly is so hard about making money?
making bangers that people want to pay you large amounts of money to play and record.
>>
>>62382104
He is hideous and looks like a skinny crackhead or meth addict.
>>
I bet he's a toronto leftoid faggot. He's got "Bro you need to chill out, that's REALLY not cool man" energy. Fucking nigger lover.
>>
Music might as well be wizardry to me. I have an easier time understanding how computers function than understanding how someone can figure out how to make emotions come out of earbuds.

>fit
you mean skinny?

It's a special ability, that's for sure. Incomprehensible

That's the definition of art.

He looks like he couldn't curl 10lbs.

The guy had an eye for music and was a bit nerdy and happened to be aligned with music trends at the time. He tapped into minimal house and brostep as it came big and he rode that wave.

Hes not the most talented producer but he did enough to become the face of that era. Also I suspect when you get deadmau5 famous you can simply get associates to ghost produce your stuff, or you make some janky beat in 2 hours thats like 5% of a track and you send it over to your 'associates' who finish it off and master it for you and then you can say its your own track.

In other words you have to be talented enough to find a trend and become a leading authority figure of it, and after that you have people who are skilled at music but void of personality who will co-author tracks for you (make tracks for you) and you get to make most of the profit and take credit for it

Music in that sense is very fake. Lets not even get into record labels which basically own you like an indentured servant and they provide the tracks for you (which you take credit for) but they milk you dry and probably take 80% of your money. but you still retire with 20 million dollars which is 20 million omre than if you went at it alone.

Music is typically a racket and its not what it seems, ever. The smartest guys in music are unknown names that do the work behind the scenes and take a % of the royalties for doing all the work but dont want to be a stalkable public figure that takes drugs and dances behind a CDJ every night and ends up hilariously lonely and miserable living like a caged animal that only is allowd to be let out at night to play to the drug taking masses, before going to their hotel room night after night to drink themselves into unconsciousness before waking up, drinking and taking drugs to feel normal and repeat the process. Only to go to rehab at 38 and realise you cant actually get off the drugs so you resign to being a drug addict because it pays well...

music is impossible tier since 1800s to make it, don't kid yourself. since then if you want to make it in music you need to be rigorous everyday or have a stroke of genius, which everything good has already been written so try 30 years ago to get the last scraps like kurt cobain did, and don't forget the copiuos amounts of drugs you need to uphold just the mid level of singing songwriting.

>>62381853
i make music and let me tell you he really innovated the whole genre of making incredibly simple yet clean tracks that are just perfectly seasoned as not to be boring. He makes the musical equivalent of a fine ribeye. Nothing crazy, just good ingredients and talent. Not caked in sauce or shit like onion power. He looks like that because he's been hunched over his computer in a dark room smoking cigs or some shit for 20 years

Yeah, and all I need is a $500 guitar and I can write Stairway to Heaven. Easy.

To make any BIG ASS money. Not a small wagie job. Whether as a sports athlete, or musician or technical person or business leader (CEO) or business owner or just about anything. A group of people must appreciate what you "bring to the table". You can't be just like: oh I'm a software engineer. I have an idea for some amazing cool tech thing, give me funding!.
No. They will say:
"Cool, I had 10 amazing ideas in the shower too. But I did nothing about them. Just like you, I slept on them, and continued my daily life, I could might as well give this money to myself, why should I give it to you?".

The reason they will give you money is because you have developed or done something, sold some services or products and found some customers. Which they themselves haven't done.

This is why true introverts (not the fake social media ones) never make it big in life. Some famous and rich people might claim to be "introverts", but they actually are not.

Lastly, always remember: a job offer letter, a university acceptance letter, a girlfriend, and a venture capital funding round - are all fundamentally the same thing.

She likes him because he has tattoos, that's it.

Literally go on any dating app. Every single woman wants a guy covered in tattoos that rides a motorcycle and looks "blue collar", while having a college degree and working a white-collar job in the high 5-figures to low 6-figures range, depending on the region.

It's that simple.

Pythagoras invented the western music scale.
Some notes together produce chords which are harmonic and sound good. Chord progressions form the base and then you can play individual notes to create a melody
