As a semi-/beg/ artist not good enough who knows it will take them years and years to get an audience, how do I cope with the generational switch in a few years from now being unavoidable?
I'm 25 years old and most of my influences are pretty much artists and media from the 2000s/early to mid 2010s and I'm planning to make art for the exact same audience who enjoys what I like, but at the same time I worry that by the time I'll reach advanced enough skills to get recognition, the internet will pretty much belong to the gen alpha kiddies who will have grown up by then replacing the zillennial and millennial crowd, and I fear the stuff that inspired me in the first place will be considered old and lame.

yeah, you spend your youth worried about everything. It is too late.
>>
No point worrying about that since the internet will be 99.9% AI slop in no more than three years

Best time to be an artist. People will seek genuity in slop ridden internet

Yeah that's inevitable if you're just trying to be a clone of artist X
If you have your own unique style and ideas you have the chance to be the next big thing
Or you can just become a soulless husk and chase FOTM and/or routine industry jobs like everyone else, your choice
In any case if you ever become a pro artist you'll find out it isn't quite what you imagined.

What is with all you guys in your 20s freaking out about being too old? You're in the first quarter of your life. Shut the hell up and do something, or don't. Those are your options.

this doesn’t apply to people born in 1999 or earlier by the way

Years for an audience? Maybe years to get out of /beg/
>>
>>7913993

>People will seek genuity
