I have been a part of a lot of music scenes for decades and seen who makes it and who doesn't and the people who make it is almost instant. it is not tons of touring and trying to figure out the best way to advertise on Tik Tok and all this other bullshit that people who don't have it try to do if you truly make great music. People will find you immediately If you have actual extraordinary talent. Everything else is just a cope for mediocre artists to try to brute force their careers. inb4 you point to exceptions as a cope.
>>130323048don't lie, you've thought of it too
>>130323048Fuck off frogposter
>>130323097try not being a low functioning subhuman, who cant get laid lmao
It fills me with existential dread looking on discogs and seeing all those ultra obscure 90s artists with one album and maybe an EP or single after that before dropping off the face of the earth. like imagine that was meant to be your big break and you put so much effort and care but now hardly a person remembers your music
>>130323048The only requirements for "making it" are knowing the right people and the right handshakes iykwim
>>130323048have some real contributions but all of you believe everything has been done already
>>130323048anon i just listen to music and play guitar as a hobby. no one here is trying to "make it". i am just trying to relax and enjoy
>>130323458>try not being a low functioning subhumanonly one life to live blud
>>130323048>listen to me, a random guy on 4chan>also you're not allowed to bring up examples of how i'm wrong0/10
>>130323583A lot of them were just having fun anon. It's hard to imagine getting gud at something for fun in the age of Tiktok and gaming, but it used to be a thing.
It's literally impossible to make it in music today if you are not wealthy and/or Jewish. That's why there hasn't been a great album from the 2020s so far
>>130324680wrong, it's never been easier to make music. the difficult part is getting anyone to listen to it, you might as well piss in an ocean of piss. if you're trying to become rich and famous you're gonna have a bad time.
I have hope that life will get better for me and I might think some dark thoughts if I believed that it’d never get better
This reminds me of what Frank Zappa told aspiring musicians in an interview. He said that expectations should be low when trying to hit it big in music cuz luck and connections play the biggest part. something like that
Ehhhh, I guess that depends what you consider successful. If you are really starting from nothing and drop an amazing song, the algorithm isn't going to magically know it's good and start showing it to people, more importantly showing it to the RIGHT people that would actually dig it. There has to be some amount of promotion to get your stuff out there. Unless you've got a huge marketing campaign, fans that are willing to spend money on you aren't just going to appear overnight with your first release. And yeah the people with those big budgets for marketing have either connections or are filthy rich to pay for it all themselves....usually both though.People say something like "before every overnight success story was 10+ years of work no one saw", it's true. If some people (outside of friends/family/other performers in your scene) are hearing your music and no one seems even slightly interested in it, then yeah I would take that as a sign you need to work on your craft. It's always annoying to me when I see people promoting like crazy their low effort shitty songs though. In this day and age artists are competing with the greatest recordings of all time being available for free with just a couple clicks. No clue why these people think that anyone should waste their precious time on this earth listening to their crap.
>>130324680>That's why there hasn't been a great album from the 2020s so far
>>130324680I made a good album in 2010 and I didn't have a jewish producer. I didn't even know anything about mixing or composing. What's stopping you?
>caring about making it>not trying to make the best music you possibly can>not making art for art's sake that is why OP is a faggot and will never make it
>>1303271212010 was 16 years ago unc, what have you done lately?
