this one's realistic, they usually have at least enough money to live in the city and get recognized by other nerds. a lot of random indie musicians who aren't famous usually are loaded, not trust fund tier, but come from well off families. the few i know who aren't are getting fucked in the ass and really deserve better.
music is a meme

I mean, hard to maintain buzz when your voice isn't all that unique and your songs lack any memorable hooks or songwriting
The main issue with most indie from the mid 10s to 20s
At least the so-called landfill indie era had bands that could still write songs

Even at the height of their success Grizzly Bear could only just afford rent and half of them didn't have health insurance

If Dimes Square is any evidence, Retards *still* can’t get this simple truth through their thick skulls… NYC in 70s was a CHEAP AS DIRT SHITHOLE. Yeah. Artists flocked to Lower East Side Manhattan because the rent was affordable. That’s what makes a scene: likeminded desperate charismatic broke assholes like Richard Hell and The Dead Boys… you can’t recreate that in post-Giuliani post-Gossip Girl New York no matter how hard you and your transbian GRINDR punks think you’re “resetting culture” in the “present tense”.

It’s over. Trade in your guitars for shovels. Or move to Philadelphia.
