Most indie musicians can scarcely eek out a middle class lifestyle. Only a lucky few ever get rich off it.
- crucialfelix 12y agomost indie musicians are WELL below middle class.
- ulisesrmzroche 12y agoNo that's not true.
- crucialfelix 12y agowell given that most indie musicians have jobs that allow them to support their music career, then I guess you are right. but among professional full-time music only indie musicians - the majority are below middle class. they do not own a home, they have debt. a minority have achieved enough success to live a normal middle class lifestyle.
- ulisesrmzroche 12y agoIt's a marketing problem. Not luck.
- notatoad 12y agobut plenty of musicians manage to become rich (often becoming not-indie musicians in the process). There's lots of musicians, they can't all be successful. A musicians failure to become rich should not be taken as a sign that youtube should give them more money, it should be taken as a sign that their music don't have a broad enough appeal to make them rich.
