How do you keep going as a musician when you will in all likelihood never amount to anything?
Isn't that what AI does, though? Just keep going as a musician when you will in all likelihood never amount to anything? Isn't that what you're doing right now? Isn't it the same thing?
>>129918258The best you can do is just be yourself
>>129918258The definition of an amateur is someone who does something out of passion, not because its their profession
>>129918258do it if you enjoy it or want to express yourself
My dream isn't to become famous, it's to find the one piece. Just kidding. Playing music is about my love for it, not the sake of other people's opinions or money.
>>129918258I’ve given up. There’s literally no upside. Plus there’s never been a worse time to be a musician because of how oversaturated the market is and how no one wants to pay for music anymore. I still do it for myself but I get nothing out of sharing it.
IS GIO SCOTTI THE NEW SCOTTY2HOTTY?
>>129918258Why give up? Did you start developing musical skills purely to become famous, or also for a love of music? Why stop doing something you love?(also delusion that i can still make it)
>>129918258bcz fun things are fun
>>129918258It's actually easy to succeed as a musician if you aren't a tard. Like everything else you get better the more you do something (if you aren't a tard, like those who try to learn art by doing boxes for years lol!), and then have basic marketing skills. The only genre that would be hard is popslop since you pretty much have to be young to succeed at that.
>>129918258Well, as for me, I normally just write something worth listening to.
>>129918258After almost 20 years making music, working on many projects, and playing hundreds of concerts… last year I quit music, sold all my instruments, and deleted all my compositions; I only kept 11 songs as a memory.I don’t even listen to music anymore, and it’s starting to bother me
>>129919267LOL
imagine reaching the end of your life and looking back at how you did nothing because you were upset you wouldnt get enough views or attention. thats insanely pathetic. if you are filtered from making art by that you SHOULDNT make art, because whatever you have to say isn't worth saying as it's not urgent enough for you to need to create it despite anything external.

>>129918258this is the same for any artist. if it is your livelihood, you have to be realistic before it is too late.do you compromise your art - become a commercial musician or a manga illustrator? do you keep it as a secondary occupation and find more lucrative work? do you continue because you can't not, because it's a part of you? do you continue because it help you cope with the world?only you can answer these questionsbeing a real artist a brutal lifebest of luck
>>129919385
>>129919318I think the same
>>129918258Just quit and get a real job, you can be a musician in private
>>129919385>nooo you need to have an inherent creative drive and something worth sayingPlebbit take. I've been in bands long enough to know that playing music is just another status game and a way for artfag chads to get laid. "Artistry" as the sole justification is a cope meme.
>>129918258It's fun. Success would be cool for a bit and then I'd probably want to kill myself because now it's a job instead of just being fun.
I have a chance. I'm special
>>129918258Beats being a zoomer.
>>129919385I never understood it as well, you make music for yourself and then you just have nudge it enough so it can be part of a genre with a big enough audience so you can live on it. That's it. I think it's mostly those narcissistic tards that want to be famous, which only a insecure moron would actually want to be. Outside of pop you don't have to plaster your face and you can have as many different projects in different genres you like.
>>129920312this is amazingthese leafs give me faith in humanity
>>129920312>the foids laughing while he gets beat up
>>129918258Compare it to the average sub 6 foot zoomer life.
>>129920312imagine not learning about consequences until you're a fucking teen
>>129920421not even joking they look turned on lmao its like they experienced chivalry for the first time
>>129918258love of the game mynigga
>>129920312sauce?
>>129918258Just make cool music that sounds good to you. That in itself should be rewarding and if its actually good people will like it.
>>129922656NTASome people could make much more money.But what for?Be your best self...motherfucker,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mpqk_WitD4
this is like saying why play a pick up game of basketball because you’re never going to play in the NBA
>>129918258You just have to keep spamming and you're bound to find your audience
>>129918258Being able to play or make whatever sounds you want is the antidote to this societal biatch we live in.YOU CAN MAKE ANY MUSIC YOU WANT it has no consequence. it can be as vulgar and retarded or over the top as you feel.
>>129921380they probably instigated it
>>12991825825+ is too old to make music anyways
>>129918258Making music is a hobby, not my livelihood. It's only incidental that I will never amount to anything.
I hate music, I just listen to plain sine waveforms
I draw instead :) way more rewarding than making formulaic music.
