I don’t get it then why you care, let alone care enough to make you feel sick. Nobody is stopping you from using music as a tool of expression. You do you, yam in your basement or wherever you want. I bet that you will find like minded people who appreciate what you do, but even if not you yourself are saying “music should not be a tool to gain fame and social acceptance”.
So why do you care what other people do?
- dimaor 4y agoI guess I over exaggerated due to fast typing. it does not _make me sick_ I just don't understand the reason. a bit of context: I've been producing music for ~15 years now, purely as a hobby (due to incompetence on my part to up a level). I have friends which I helped and collaborated with for years on and off, and some of them seem to me like they are stuck in a loop of wanting to succeed without actually expressing themselves. they seem to be stuck in the mode of _this is how it's done, and this is what I want and anything else is incorrect_. even when there are many other options to make it sound better and make it richer. so correction: what makes me _sick_ is the fact that some people try to copy other successful musicians without even considering doing something original, purely because they want the same level of _fame and success_.
