When did mid to low level musicians start to believe that they deserve to make a living off making/playing music? Feels like majority of bands try to tour full time now regardless of size. What happened to the part time hobbyist musician? Soon as a band sniffs a little hype they all quit their jobs and go full time touring.
>>132107993bands dont make any money whatsoever from streams, toadmong. they have to tour or die
>>132108077Most of them should because they fucking suck. You didn't address the post at all.
>>132107993How many part-time hobbyist musicians do you know who became successful?
>>132107993its either work at Mcdonalds flipping burgers or go on tour with your shitty band, its not hard to grasp
>>132107993the late 1950s/early 1960s
>>132108133That's not the point. Success in music is subjective and I'd argue if your definition of success involved money then you're into the arts for the wrong reason. You don't have to be poor, but money shouldn't be a consideration. Financial security isn't the point of making art. It's probably antithetical.
