What type of music is it socially acceptable for someone in their mid-20s to make?
>>123671568NothingIf you're not already famous by 22 it's pointless
>>123671568Anything? Classic prodigy to rock bands at their peak.If rock still existed, that is.
make zoomergaze its what the kids are making its like cloud rap but not because you don't rap and with minimal level of beatmaking
>>123671583Leonard Cohen was 33 when he hit his stride.His look-a-aike Al Pacino was like 31 when and struggling in shit theater shows when he got his break in the Godfather.You're mostly right, but there's always exceptions.
>>123671568Alt rockEDMCountryOtherwise you’re going in to the realm of boring adult music like jazz and blues or whatever that only even older people give a fuck about.
>>123671621Peter Steele was also 27 when he formed Type O Negative and in his 30s when they became relevant.
>>123671655This, too many people take the sophistication meme seriously
>>123671583Nah it's older than that. Thom Yorke was almost 30 when OKC came out.
>>123671621It aint the god damn 60s or 70s anymoreAnyone over 22 is unmarketable now
>>123671679Their biggest song came out when he was 23
>incels on this board thinking they're ever going to "make it" lmao
synthwave dnbidk it doesn't matter Just stay away from anime
>>123671725
>>123671694The guy from LCD Soundsystem was also in his 30s. Like I said, there's always exceptions. Just don't quit your day job.Garbage was a band of boomers in the 90s. Except Shirley, who was 29. The rest of the dudes were in their 40s (granted, Butch Vig was famous for production already..especially Nevermind.. but he was still old when he did that too).
>>123671664And Peter Steele was like a 7 foot tall chad. He was famous due to his looks alone because his talent was nonexistent. Do you think the average chud on here looks like him? LOL
>>123671725Is this an incel board now? The only reason I post here is because most anons seem kind of normal. Relatively to /pol/ or something.
>>123671763The question isn’t whether chuds can make it, but whether 25+ boomers can make it. For the average chud it doesn’t even matter what age they are
>>123671781It's fucking 4chan. You're not normal if you're here
>>123671763I'm almost as big as him. I should have focused on bass though. Easy way to get jobs like he eventually did. Consider that a protip: Be needed.
>>123671782The average 25+ boomer is a chud
>>123671796Not everyone here is a basketcase. They just don't like censorship.
>>123671797I play bassIve never been in a bandI'm 28
>>123671832How do you even enjoy playing or learning?
>>123671818Which makes you a chud/incel in the eyes of decent heckin normal people now
>>123671655Country seems to be taking over in the US based on the charts, probably because hip hop is losing its popularity.
>>123671797Just transition to playing bass. Going from noob to mediocre is a million times easier than guitar, especially if you already play guitar
>>123671759James Murphy already had some buzz cause he worked with Sub PopButch Vig was already a big name
>>123671846Country has always been big in the US, it’s just more relevant now because rap’s market share is collapsing and rock is relegated to boomer-tier
>>123671841The fuck are you getting at?Straight 8th notes is the most fun I've ever had while playing with anyone Too bad it never leads anywhere
>>123671568>caring about what is socially acceptableIn case you haven’t noticed, society is falling apart at the seams. If, by some miracle, it does hold together, it’s going to look very different from what it looks like now. What I’m trying to say is, don’t let yourself be constrained by the arbitrary whims and attitudes of a culture that probably won’t exist in a few year.
>>123671860I think its that too but hip hop was what was charting for the past 5+ years
>>123671843Just have a foot in normieville. And never show your power levels. That's enough. Just don't go full retard.
>>123671881Lol gay doomer. Society isnt going anywhere in "a few years", this is gonna be prolonged and only the weak doomer zoomer fucks who cant adapt wont make it which is what it always should've been.
>>123671881What won't change is young people thinking 25+ is ancient boomer tier
>>123671903The industry over invested in meme rap and made it uncool
>>123671583>If you're not already famous by 22 it's pointlessi unironically think this is the case. not because it's true but because i've seen it been said way too many times>>123671909>What won't change is young people thinking 25+ is ancient boomer tierexactly
As an observation and a generalization, I've noticed that zoomers tend to be more concerned with trying to be normal, what is socially acceptable and fitting in, in the midst of a lot of weirdos, whereas the older generations like that of the 60/70s tend to be more focused in sticking out of the crowd and being different in a world full of normies.
>>123672201what if Just declare this world Mine. as in I OWN it. what about that? seems pretty musical to me
>>123672201Modern day weirdos are what the old people in the 60s and the 70s feared their kids were becomingI don't blame zoomers
>>123671909Those children will think you’re old no matter what you do. Just accept it and make whatever kind of music you want.
>>123671568vaporwave
>>123672404Just say "trans' you fucking chud
>>123672201zoomers will say anything over 22 is ancient, then turn 23 and have an identity crisis about the biases that they themselves held
>>123672686They're screwing themselves up that way. 30 must be tragic.
>>12367271230 has always been tragicEverything has always been cope when you turn 30 unless you have kids
>>123672848No, in some traditions it's like the ideal human age. I think I heard it's the age of heavenly souls somewhere. Maybe I just made that up to cope.
>>123672867>ideal human ageLMAOThats the biggest cope I've ever heard
>>123672848>30 has always been tragicyea agreed
>>123672686>DUDE IT'S ETERNALLY OVER FOR EVERYONE AGE[my age + 2]i hate them so much
>>123673139There's a reason why Buddhist tradition has him only "becoming" the Buddha at 35. Or Jesus starting his ministry at 30. Or people in the afterlife themselves talk about this appearance, even when they see old relatives.The cope is thinking this little life of yours is all there is and needing to rush it all or else you're somehow nothing.You'll get there sooner or later though. You have no choice. Either that or you die.
>>123673400this anon is right. by 27-30 your life changes and you become something more than just yourself. sometimes that even means dying for a cause
>>123671568Laura has a cheat code, she can do whatever she wants since she was born as a beautiful woman. For the rest of you ugly bastards, your only hope is to ride a beautiful women's coattails ala picrel.
>>123671568Apparently auto tune music about liquor store snacks and cheap drinks
>>123673580Its like a trust fund kids idea of a working class person. Thats 100 gecs
>>123673532dylan is a beautiful woman in my eyes you bitch
>>123673400Neither Buddha nor Jesus actually did anythingThey said a bunch of words then died
>>123673400Also Plato said men should not study philosophy until 30 and Hesiod said men should not marry until about that age. Certain Jewish traditions forbad men from reading the Song of Solomon until 30 and Zoroaster was 30 when he supposedly began hearing the voice of Ahura Mazda. It’s a universal thing.
>>123674229Well philosophy is a waste of timePlato's just lookin out for the young ones so they don't waste time doing stupid shit
>>123674240>philosophy is a waste of timeThat, in itself, is a philosophical statement. You are “doing” philosophy right now.
>>123674229Philosophy prior to turning 30 pretty much always tends to be banal naval gazing
>>123671568>it's another insecure losers cry about their wasted youth thread #3422112445332>>123671796>everyone on 4chan is mentally ill except for meyou better be at least 15 because if you're not this is just pathetic
>>123671568I never understood the appeal of being famous, I get that you have an entire legion of fans who would cater to your every whim but that would also make you vunerable to psychotic stalkers, perverts, women looking for an easy pay check by accusing you of rape, clout chasing teens trying to punk you in public so they can be known as "that guy who punked famous singer", not to mention that your privacy is pretty much gone after making it big. It's not worth it whatsoever.
>>123671664Didn't he end up killing himself?
>>123671664he also said in an interview that he hated how old he was because he was insecure faggot despite being 6'8 or whatever
>>123675095I think its more about wanting to make amazing art. you set a certain bar for yourself and fame is inevitable
>>123675095Money makes anything worthwhileI'd rather be in a mansion right now than an apartment
>>123675216Pete should have been grateful for his body slowly breaking down on him, happy for gradually worsening aches in his joints and bones and thankful he could no longer have a solid bowel movement.
>>123671583>spend age 12-18 studying to go to college, forced by boomer parents, only know power chords>make shitty music in college>be in 2 separate bands, both fail>learn every intrument to do things on own>turn 24>youth is over nowWell fuck I guess it's rope time
>>123671583nope, it's 33
>>123671568Classical, jazz, and folk are the only acceptable categories of music to make from your mid-20s to death.>>123671583>music is when you're famousRetarded bugman consumer mentality, go play video games.
>>123676144i see ur thread on /x/>>123676172>Classical, jazz, and folk are the only acceptable categories of music to make from your mid-20s to death.OP here this was the kind of answer i was looking for jfc. thankfully i like those genres, although i’m not the best as playing classical. i’d argue metal too just because it was unacceptable from the start. also composing for games and movies i guess could also be extended
>>123676172Imagine wanting to waste your time making songs that literally nobody will hear
>>123676172>>123676228i think ur both right. making pop music with the intention of mass production with no one listening to it is kinda sad, but making music with a niche audience in mind doesn’t necessarily mean fame.think of all the artists making livable wage off streaming that no one fucking knows
>>123676244Anon nobody makes livable wages off of streamingYou either make big bucks or you make nothing
>>123676252there is an illusive amount of people that make ~2k a month and get by anon
>>123676259>24k>livable
>>123671568alt-country folk americana is acceptable at all stages of life
>>123671568Does it matter? Just do whatever the hell you want. Imagine being a grown adult man and caring about being criticized by a bunch of dumb teens.
>>123676228You make music for yourself or for others, and you don't need to make shitty corporate popslop garbage for at least some people to hear it. Every music has an audience. If anything, a slightly smaller one means there's more of a chance it's better.
>>123676348You know how much music is uploaded everyday?You're just throwing shit out into the void
>>123676363If everybody thought like you no one would ever do anything loser
>>123671913That's a strange way to say zoomers are talentless hacks. There's like 2 decent zoomer rappers in the mainstream. It's pretty sad to see rap go from post-MBDTF kino through to SoundCloud slop, all the way to "lol laugh at my persona because I'm a clown"
>>123676077>turn 24>youth is over nowplease stop saying stuff like this
>>123671568>socially acceptablefuck off
>>123671583suicides first album came out when alan vega was 40 and they instantly changed the game in alternative music and became THE american industrial outfitother edgelord industrial group rammstein started when lindemann was 30, i think hes older than rozz williams who was already dead by that pointguy from morphine was also close to 40 when the first album came out, he was in other bands that sounded nothing like it before thooingo boingo started when danny elfman was 28 or soage doesnt stop you from making edgy or goofy shit and starting a band. grow some balls
>>123676842You forgot serj tankian who was 30 when toxicity came out
>>123672848>30 has always been tragicwhy let an arbitrary number of rotations around the sun determine ANYTHING about this corporeal reality?such weak, normie-brained bullshit.reverse your swag, anon — you’re better than that.
>>123676655It's true. If you're 24 hanging around 18-20 year olds then you're a loser. Just because you're fucking ancient and lump all relatively young people together doesn't mean anything.
>>123677164I'm still young dumbarse, I'm only 23
>>123677223kek
>>123676494Nah rap was always cringe. Zoomer memerap just made it okay to say so.
>>123676265depends on where you are
>>123676363Some people don't give a shit about making money via music because they already have money, or have a job, or they live like bums and don't give a fuck, and some of them still get an audience.
>>123671568if you're asking, you're not the kind of person who should be doing anything creative. sorry but it's true.
>>123671568That guy is quite ratlike in appearance. He would make a good carnie, except he'd probably fuck the kids.
>>123671568It depends... are you black? Rap. Are you white? Classical. Are you others? Traditional Folk.
