Oh, well check out poppy. She does metal and grunge now. And unlike her earlier stuff, is just unironically good. Still does weird videos every now and then.
My point is more so that these artists are better without striving for mass appeal. It’s ok that they’re not mega stars. They’re doing just fine.
- bsder 5y ago> It’s ok that they’re not mega stars. They’re doing just fine. But are they really doing fine? My "go to" example for this kind of thing was the lead singer from one of the metal groups based in Southern California. They had just done a West Coast tour and then did the festival circuit. The interviewer asked him when he was going to tour again. His response: "Well, I think we maybe came out about even from the touring. And now my tattoo business is now pretty much booked up for the next 12 months. So, probably not for at least a year. Maybe we'll probably play some local shows every now and then." That doesn't sound like an industry doing "just fine" to me.

- oneoff786 5y agoGiven that he seems interested in doing it again it seems fine to me. I don’t think musicians need to be mega millionaires.
