>James Murphy was just about to turn 35 when LCD Soundsystem released their first albumUncbros we can still make it
Every night I lie in bed and feel more and more like Ed
>>129905036Movies are different than musicPretty sure most directors don't make their best shit until their 40s while every pop musician is expected to be like 20
>>129905023Its never over. Just dont be a scrub and give up
>>129905023You unironically need to find a good therapist for that
uncs have always been coolernephs are the loser faggots
>>129905023unironically good hopium, thanks op.
sorry OP but by the time you finally sit your unc ass down to start writing songs everyone on earth will be exclusively listening to AI music they made on their phones
>George Clanton is six years older than me and he blew up at an older age>"i wonder what was he doing six years ago">released a collab with his hero Nick Hexum>mfw
>>129905023there's a blicky icky soundcloud rapper popping every week. Travis Scott botted his soundcloud to fame. the only issue is that if you're a white male there's no real outlet. all easy genres are taken by people of color and owmen.
>>129906616why not just produce the music for the people of color and women
>>129906632less money to be made unless you're pharrel williams tier but then you can do solo albums that mog everyone anyway.
>>129906648there is way more money in producing, wtf are you talking about?
>>129906662no there isn't unless you're williams tier.
Used this album in another thread but: >made his best work when he was 43Yeah, you got plenty of time.
>>129906681Josh Homme was 42 when he made his best album. And like 31 when he madr his most famous albumOf course, he was 19 when he madr his Scaruffi 8.0/10, so
>>129906703>using a guy who got big at like 16 as an example of old guys making itAre you stupid?
>>129906680there's no money in music at all unless you're one of a lucky few, your argument is pointless.
>>129906778there's way more than producing. you can't be seriolus. a couple of guys are the top when it comes to producing a bunch of schmucks are making it big in terms of name though. how are you going to get noticed as a producer.
>>129906749He got big in his hometown at 16, he only got big in the world at 30
Alan Vega was almost 40 when the first Suicide album came out.there's hope for everyone.
>>129906797if you get paid by every wannabe local rapper to produce their songs, you will end up doing better than any of those rappers are doing individually.
>>129906851the issue those wannabes won't pay up they'll get daquarius doing a drake type beat.
>>129906857ok so you are just talking out of your ass and making retarded assumptions. you have no idea what you're talking about.
These guys are over 35. I know.
>be an out-of-luck literally-who jazz player>been heavily stuttering since he was a kid, start doing scat-singing as a form of expression>move to Berlin to have a career playing in jazz cafes>his agent arranged a meeting with a dance producer, since eurodance was the most popular music genre in '90s Germany>terrified at first, he starts collaborating with the dance producer doing his scat thing>first single struggles to find an audience at first>the album comes out a few months later>songs and album become huge, sell millions of copies everywhere >finally become famous at 53 year old>make a few more hit singles and two more albums>get diagnosed with lung cancer and die 4 years after finally making it
>>129906681I find that more sophisticated musicians, like jazz or classical musicians (Wagner, Bruckner, Mahler) tend to create better music the older they get.
>>129906997>get diagnosed with lung cancer and die 4 years after finally making itgoddamn...
>>129905023wasn’t he already connected to the music scene or some shit? pretty sure it wasn’t just his talent but also his networking skills that got him famous.
>>129905023Jarvis was 31 when His 'n' Hers was released, containing his first hits. Before that, they were a local band with records that nobody listened to.
And i think the guy from snow strippers has like 30
There is time but not so much
>>129906804Rated R was decently big
>>129906997Moral of the story: don't smoke
LMFAO was 35 as well xP
>>129908326>Redfoo is 50The fuck?
him and the guy from Guided by Voices are my "i still have 5 years to make a great album" examples. Really though I'll hold out until my vocals are shot and my body can't play chords or drum properly anymore
>>129907578he hates those white guys so much
>>129905023utter shit cringe hipster new yorker tryharder faggot. trust funder lame dude selling hipster wine
I'm 32 brosI'm just getting startedsoon the kids willl be raving about me
>>129907410>his talent
>>129905023I listened to a few of his interviews and spoke with ChatGPT like last month thinking about that to hear his story.I think late millennials have a lot to take away from it. He's a cautionary tale against letting the idea that you aren't good enough to try prevent you from doing anything by yourself instead of propping up others' endeavors. You will never know if you're capable of creating your own "Dance Yrself Clean", until you seriously attempt it.
>>129905023anon I love you but you're bringing me down :( I don't like to be reminded that time is passing :(( FUCK!!! FUCK!!!... what are we all doing with our lives.... much to consider here. Considering, listening, learning, dying, living, being
>>129905036The difference between an Anonymous (You) and Orson Welles is that Orson had the audacity to give his chosen medium a go at an age where he'd theoretically and statistically only be capable of producing crap >>129905045The longer one postpones their debut, the fewer years of formative experience they shall have under their belt—in theory. You could always keep it all in the lab—which is better than just daydreaming about doing things, waiting for the inspiration to start to strike.
>>129910183he sucks cock by choice, im old as fuck but still nothing James Murphy has ever done will compare to 18 year old Johnny Rotten on Nevermind The Bullocks
>>129910192>what are we all doing with our livesyou're posting on a dying board on a dying website known as 4chankwab
As an amateur musician in my early 30s whose been making shit since my late teens, I can see myself making my magnum opus album now. What I can't see however would be having any desire to tour etc. Fuck that shit. And that's probably why music skews heavily towards those in their 20s. Just the sheer energy needed for all facets of it.
>>129910209Dance Yrself Clean (the track) is better than Never Mind The Bollocks.
>>129910217Touring is for the money, not the publicity. The publicity is what enables the touring. You don't have to care about the touring, but you do have to care about the marketing. Otherwise, in this hypercompetitive attention economy: no one shall know you dropped it.
>>129910222k
>>129910153it's not that easyhe released these things during the hipster age wherein there was a portion of the public actively engaged in dredging up obscure and fledgling artists such as himself, which, if it still exists in any form, is nowhere near its same extentnow, it is incredibly easy to be ignored, even if your music is decent
>>129908326and their legacy is being a two-hit-wonder (iirc) from meme tracks that only prospered for a cultural momentif your relevance is so brief, that shall surely feel terrible hardly less akin to never having been relevant at all
>>129910244they were also riding on the back of the strokes and white stripes and vampire weekend and mgmt while being way less talented
>>12990754930 isn't that old in factit looks so on paper but it's essentially just an extension of the late 20s which itself was just an extension of the mid 20sit's old insofar as deciding to have waited that long to have done anything, but some cultures of the distant past didn't take men under 30's outputs seriously
>>129910280I think you're mistakenly believing the milieu was a monoliththese fellows all belong to different strains and sub-sub-cultures; not much turbulence to ride, as it were, when they're all to varying degrees on different tracksI will say indeed however that I don't like the majority of his output which I have heard, indeed
>>129907537this is the first time I've ever definitively heard of them
>>129907410he was a Kanye, but with deeper insecurity and inhibition
>>129906616you have now become the perpetually self-victimizing and accountability-dodging clown you used to make fun of
>>129906648I found out last week that Pharrell made Milkshake
>>129910300come on mang
I'd hate to be one of those embarrassing geriatrics who play an instrument. Grow up, grandpa. Go eat soup and collect antiques. Infantile. Sometimes when I'm getting pumped in the gym I see a feeble old man using the lightest weights. Stop wasting peoples time and embarrassing yourself. There are GROWN DECAYING 30 YEAR OLDS out there who still think they're 15. It's over. You had your chance and you fucked it all up. All music you listen to is targeted to us. You look SILLY. you look DUMB for real. Grow up. Read a book authored by an 18 year old, you DUMB SILLY OLD MAN. Imma depart from this realm before I become an old soup sipping demented dude. Go listen to the Decemberists FUCK ASS NIGGAS
>>129910433is this nigger speak or are you that dumb on purpose?
>>129910453we don't post diary entries here
>>129908326Ok, but their ancestor is literally Berry Gordon! Redfoo had a normal career at trading, he just told his father he wanted to become a music celebrity for a while and he gave it to him and his nephew
>tfw about to turn 45
>>129905023Most artists don't really make their best work until they're 27+ from what I've noticed.
>>129906997Just noticed the earring, didn't know scatman was gay, but then again, I guess I'm not too surprised now that I got a good look at this face.
>>129906997>>get diagnosed with lung cancer and die 4 years after finally making itSad story but many people die of lung cancer without having ever made it. At least he got a taste of fame before he died even if it was just fleeting
>>129910183>and spoke with ChatGPT like last monthlmaooo whatever you age, it's already over for you sweEtie
>>129910335okay|? what do you want me to do. im telling the truth.
>>129905023"Making it" in your 30s is extremely rare. Anyone that does it is the exception, not the rule. You're basically a unicorn
>>129911793yeah it's like people who give examples of people who made it without college generally the college attendees outnumber them by a wide margin though.
>>129911372older is better. you got more money.the negatives are physical deterioration (which is so slow you don't really notice unless you got a disease) and social isolation (but youth social relationships are pretty superficial anyways, so not a big loss when you mentally adjust).i guess you also lose the delusions that you'll become a big shot or score the hot girl which also tends to keep youth spirits up, but there are still various delusion, er, I mean goals to keep most older people pushing ahead.(last years might suck tho.)
>>129911793You can make it in country whenever
why do people wanna "make it" in music, its likely you won't. I do it because its fun
>>129911957Cause money is all that matters
>>129911959i heard making a living from music sucks though
>>129911962Yeah lemme wageslave a boring career for 50 years then die
>>129911976sorry man, it isn't even a choice. You can try though
>>129911422he was married to a woman
>>129911995Disgusting
>>129911949no you can't
>>129906703Josh Homme never made a good album and is fucking old.
>>129912111Walker Hayes was 41 when he released Fancy Like
>>129912116truth
>>129905023Ok, you can start making good music as a unc but can you get high quality pussy from it?
>>129912287You down with HQP? Yeah you know me
>>129905023as times passes, my main "problem" is just that I no longer give a shit. I have all the gear, all the knowledge and enough time. but I have zero drive to finish a song or "release" something. why should I? what's the point? I'm not even sad about it, most of the time. it's only when a faint memory of that old drive comes to me momentarily that I get really fucking depressed. I could've been a contender, I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am
>>129911372
>>129908594No I don’t
>>129905023I remember seeing him spin in Miami for Art Basel in like 2011 and I specifically remember thinking "this guys old as fuck"
>>129912916if it's really as pointless as you think, then why not just go for it? finish your shit, post it, get 0 listens. who cares?
>>129905023i listened to losing my edge the other day and man it sucks
>>129917181i havent listened to lcd soundsystem since their last cool release , the"45:33" thing . joke z'on u, fool, it only made sense in when was it, i listened to it before it came out i am pretty sure. 2002. it was fun! it was unexpected, fun was on the menu! you had to be there, i was there lol
>>129905642lmao
>>129906997His debut is fucking greathttps://youtu.be/voHINqPZ4lk?si=RcuMadDbdvfjRciGJust listen how bonkers that first song is
>>129910433bait
