You can go from being an English teacher to being a rock star

no im 26 my life is over (musically speaking)

You can't even make money from being a musician anymore unless you're a superstar. It doesn't matter.

>>127917712
You want money? Stop being such a Jew. Make music cause you like music. The real fun is competing with your peers to see who can create the best art.

>>127917418
Rich kids dicking around

>>127917418
I will never get musicians who start this late
This means your core audience will be 16 years younger since people working dont have the same time to be passionate about music and you yourslef as musician having time for it is just cause of your uniqe position of not having to have regular job which drains passion and time
Must feel very lonelly and dissconected

>>127921448
Okay so I guess we should all just kill ourselves then, Aristotle?

>>127921494
Or get families
People at 32 dont attend festivals unless they are musicians

>>127917810
Sounds like a gay waste of time

>>127921494
The intended use of his music, to listen to it when go out and clubbing, isnt available at 32 unless you have celebrity status
If you are a rare case of someone studying you wont find friends the same age who is also out partying and you will be deemed too old to hang out with 20 year olds and would you really want to hang out with them anyway?
How can you create music which you at that point of your life wouldnt be able to use how iys intended? How can you feel connected?

>>127921494
Yes

>>127917418
>DJed before
>lived in NYC and apparently was asked to write for seinfeld
it's not like he wasn't already somewhat active in the scene

>>127921636
You're demonic if you're suggesting anyone should kill themselves at the age of 32.

>>127921777
Why? It's not getting better. You also sound like a ultra soft pussy who isn't gonna make it here.

>>127921448

I mean that melancholy comes across in LCD Soundsystem's music and makes it more interesting than your average beeps and boops

>>127921494
The adult worker life makes it impossible to have passion and get inspired and being free from it so you do means you then are too old to hang out with young people who are still studying

>>127917418
average age on /mu/ is 47-years-young

>>127921827
And tthe intended audience is what? Not workers in their 30s, thats for sure

>>127921827
So creating music at an age where its impossible to get the same highs as when your were in your teens to twenties?
How will an adult functionalistic enviroment inspire you?

>>127921622
>People still party in their 30s
Besides the point.

He started making music and playing in bands since he was young

>>127921666
Talentless trust funder

>>127917418
But I'm 39 and still a [handholdless] virgin.

>>127922055
No, since the music is designed for dancing and clubbing and not for listening to on your own at night

>>127922055
Party music is only for students, not for people with a permanent job

>>127921622
>>127921508

Samefag but I'll bite anyway. Since when the fuck do you have to make music for your age? There's plenty of DJ's that started late and perform in their 40s/50s for 20-40 yr olds.
Also, since when the fuck does clubbing just stop at 30? If you are into that scene, you can find a wife who goes clubbing with you. Do you think only single people are at clubs? Couples/dates go all the time.

>"There’s a serious point to this question. LCD used to go out clubbing together but I’m guessing that’s tailed off now – how does this affect the way you still make dance music?
To a certain degree we don’t make as much dance music as we used to but we all still DJ. I have a two-and-a-half-year-old child so I don’t feel compelled by that many parties. I would still go to Optimo if I had the chance though."

>>127922203
>t. never partied

>>127917418

>>127917712
It's all about marketing. SOPHIE was mostly only a cult hit but was charging upwards of 8K per track for production

>>127917454
my teacher in hs had a sound of silver poster in his class, they were his favourite band

>>127922526
Cause not enough time for investment and the type of dance music LCD System creates requires, well, dancing and socializing, or are you going to dance alone at home?
A job drains you from having teenager passion to really get into the music

>>127922526
Why in the fuck a 40/50 year old feel comfortable performing for 20/30 year olds? 40/50 year olds dont go out dancing or clubbing unless its for nostalgia night

>>127922526
I believe people without kids and time to develop passion by studying and not working go out clubbing
A job both takes up time and drains you creativily cause of the functionalistic enviroment where you are expected to act functionalistic and has to wear worker clothes
Genuine passion for music are not for people with jobs

>>127922532
I did, stopped around 30 when people my age turned to functionalistic worker drones or started families
You cant party forever

>>127922526
Explain why you dont develop interest for new genres or pick up an instrument when you have a job? Jobs are the reasons you dont see someone develop passion for a new genre he was unaware of to then start making music in that genre
And no, people who already are musicians in a different genre dont count, Im talking aboit people with workingclass status
Same thing with interests in general, you wont see someone with a job discover enough passion for video games to quit his job and start developing games

>>127917454
It really is a blackpill, that this guy just had his "moment" eventually long past the point people will typically care about who you are, but ~13 years later is irrelevant and in 13 more years will be forgotten completely

if anything it's a cautionary tale about waiting too long

>>127923742
>Cause not enough time for investment and the type of dance music LCD System creates requires, well, dancing and socializing, or are you going to dance alone at home?
Their music just needed a studio which is where they did a bunch of recording and remixes for other groups

>>127917611
ageism in the music industry is perhaps the worst it's ever been
even 40 year olds are shuffled into the has-bin as soon as possible
you can even only get away with 30s so long as people aren't fully aware that you're in your 30s

60's? I'm afraid only fellow senior citizens will care

>>127917653
3 years is a lot more time than you'd lead yourself to believe

if you look back at the last three years of your life, you should realize it only feels short because you chose to do so little with it

>>127917810
>>127921514
So who's going to listen to it, and who's going to share it, and who's going to remember it?

>>127923892
So you have no problem with creating what you dont consume or enjoy?

>>127923892
If you had never atended a concert, would you then perform?

>>127921448
>I will never get musicians who start this late
there are many people who are too fucked up on the blackpill to see the point in trying anything, until they reach their 30s and realize with the whitepill that they'd always regret more not trying anything than they would have trying something; self-doubt is a luxury and selling yourself short is for nobody

>Band has a troon in it
Not intesteed, thank you

>>127923828
Jobs are a massive timesink. Not only do you have little time left for anything outside of your job, you're also going to inevitably spend at least 10% of that time glooming over how little time you have because of your job and all the other timesinks related to it

you're going to be in such a precarious mood that even listening to something new which you turn out to absolutely despise, or even maybe just regularly dislike or feel nothing towards at all, can end up ruining your day, making you feel like your precious time has just been mercilessly robbed by people you just intuitively knew never deserved it

>>127917418
I've been on and off since 20 have a pile of unfinished w.i.p.s that are unironically potential masterpieces from some speed and psych benders, 32 now and want to get back into music making but my brain has been turned into mush just going through the motions watching YouTube algorithm distraction shit, got prescribed vyvanse and need to break the idle bad habits and reach my full potential, can't waste my God given synesthesia like this

Anyway, does anyone know any good ways to learn keyboard that are practical like Melodics but not behind jewish paywalls?

>>127923971

>>127924153
Tons of people and groups make music they never listen to in order to sell it or network for jobs. It's a common setup for a few guys to produce things and only one of them might actually DJ/play the songs out or mingle with others who DJ. It's a business

>>127924048
Just make music because you enjoy it.

You seem to think jobs just kill all creativity. Creative people choose jobs because it's very difficult to make a living off any art form. Capitalist expectations make it so that viewing the dream of creating good art, needs to have a monetary outcome otherwise you're doing it wrong, so people just focus on what's tangibly "good", like a job or other life milestones. There's also a huge social stigma in society propagated by uncultured and simple minded faggots like you about anyone doing something creative past the age of 30

>>127924032
you have potential masterpieces but can't play keyboard? kek

>>127924024

>>127924189
So you have no problem creating party music without party friends and your audience being 15 years younger without your worker experience?
You wouldnt feel pathetic at all?

I like LCD Soundsystem they’re cool and preemptively fuck you if you don’t like that I like them
https://youtu.be/Cj8JrQ9w5jY

>>127924532
And the paradox is that you cant enjoy it with a job and if you then quit your job and become a musician, then you enjoy it cause of your uniqe position
Passion for music is not for working people, music dont fit in the functionalistic worker world
Sure, you can have the music on as pleasant background noic but you cant really enjoy it on the same deep level as when you were still studying
Also, do you listen to musicians younger than yourself and do you watch teen films or shows when you are not a teen yourself?

>>127926774
nta I’m a genxer and don’t feel uncomfortable about it at all. When I was 17 I thought 40 was really old and now I think 17 is really young, it’s weird

>>127925670
They didnt start old and their old audience are now nostalgaing and not enjoying bit the same way they did as teens

I grew up in the 90s and didn’t really give a shit if the music I liked was being made by old people in theirs 40s. Don’t remember even thinking about that at all

>>127917418
I'm 23 my life is literally over I'm too old

>>127925701
They do though
The functionalist enviroment kills the inspiration, so does the worker colegues who are in worker drone mode
You will rarely hear people talk about a new comicbook or video game in the lunchroom at the job
Adult hobbies are sports and home improvement
I live in socialist Sweden, there are still bullies keeping your creativity down at the workplace, majority of them leftwing voters
Everything is function and productivity for society in the adult worker world over here, thats also why all Swedish male workers have the same practical buzzcut haircut

>>127925834
Thats what Im saying listen to it while driving to work is not comparable as listening to it without stress back inn school
You mean if there was a new band youve never heard of, you could develop passion and inspiration to create your own music by listening to it at the drive to work?
You wont feel the same passion withb a job

>>127926794
40 is old
I just turned 42 and feel old as fuck

>>127926837
Why are you so stressed out about work? I’ve worked before and it wasn’t always super stressful, just quit if you can’t handle it or change it

>>127926794
And tghose musicians started out in their 20s and ws later already caught in the positive wheel without knowledge of how it would have felt like going from a working class job in your 30 to become a musician
Work kills everything, even if you quit it your inocence is lost by getting a taste of the adult functionalistic worker life where pleasure isnt top priority

>>127926854
Even if I can manage the job it disstract me from creating a passioante enviroment
The functionalism of the work sneaks in and corrupts the mind, it affects the atmosphere of your everyday life
You also dont have as much free time wit the spring breaks or being able to take some free time here and there if you have studied beforehand, at a workplace they are dipendent on you showing up always, you cant take some free days here and there
Also, the job requires for you to wear functionalistic worker clothing

willie was a pretty minor country artist until he was 42 and became the Willie everybody knows today.
And I would say he has had maybe the most enviable career of any american musician.
Probably because his fan base has always been adults instead of the hero-worshipping teens most rock stars have as their first fans.

>>127917418
did this guy ever make a song that wasn't him ripping off some shit?
pretty sure every single song he made was him stealing some shit

This thread just reeks of negativity and doom. Something I notice about male spaces or male friendships in general is that, due to intrasexual competition, they're constantly trying to sabotage and undermine each other. That's why you should never tell your friends what you are working on or what your dreams are, because they'll find a way to belittle you. They want you to give up. They don't want you to succeed. Men are just as "mean girl" coded as women. If you're a straight man, you should unironically surround yourself with women and gay guys because they'll actually encourage you to pursue your dreams and will nurture and support you in the process.

I guess it depends on you and what you’re doing. I’ve worked a trade where I had to do an apprenticeship and once I learned everything day to day it wasn’t mentally challenging, the only stress was from overworking but if you’re getting 2-3 full days off each week and taking vacation every year you should be able to manage that and keep working on creative interests because you do need to earn your living unless you are already wealthy enough not to work or able to live off whatever gibs you can get as an artist. I don’t know your situation I’m just saying that you’re making excuses, if you need more time to work creatively just work less or stop working altogether if you can survive like that otherwise find a balance or at least try to make it easier for yourself

We can solve it by having secret identites on workplaces with hologram filters
Socialicing with normies at jogbs kills passion and creativity

Working at home would be a way to not have to do with the functionalist interiors at a workplace
Gay men and women aint any better, even feminist women has told me to "grow up" and "dress normal"
I actually think women are the best at keeping you down with shaming and gaslighting, maybe its bitterness against the patriarchy or some shit, I dunno, I stopped having female friends for this reason

>>127928189
You would still have to be the responsible adult in functionalist clothing the eternal teenager lifestyle woman looks up to

he isn't lawrence welk.
he's always had a young, rock and roll looking crowd (see pic from concert).
and he started doing his outlaw country act at 42,
and he literally co-headlined with all the most famous rocks stars (bob dylan, neil young, paul simon, keith richards) who (unlike him) began their careers playing for teenagers.

Gays are catty and competitive with women and other gays due to intrasexual competition (fighting for the same resources), but they don't act this way with straight men. As a straight man, being friends with a gay guy is the best because there is no jealousy or competition or overlap when it comes to your goals. You're both after different things.
