deleted my soundcloud account, sold my synthensizers, and threw away all of my cds.
Such a waste of time. And for what? It's completely unnecessary and serves no purpose. Music is not needed, especially in today's society where the intellect, personality, and face reigns supreme.
To be honest, the "artistic lifestyle" seems almost like a childish endeavour at this point, and I don't mean any disrespect, but it seems like the most serious artists (asides from guys who are legit dj's/producers/engineers but they represent a very low % of dedicated lifters) are also the people with nothing else going on in their lives. I know this was true with me, I was biggest and most serious about producing when I was still in uni, working only 15 hours a week, and pretty much just tinkering around all the time, going out, with no real life. To all you kids out there who are getting sucked into the djing/producing , try to stop yourself. So long as you have and maintain decent facial aesthetics, you'll be fine. Music just not worth it.

You take music too seriously m8
Angel Gonzalez
yea you might regret doing that down the road.
Jackson Brooks
How long did you even try? I'm still having fun with it after 5 years and only 120 followers.
Dissatisfied? Yeah. But I do it because I love it not because I want clicks on Facetwat, and I'd never get those clicks with your mindset anyways OP.
Fuck off, you pessimistic downer.
Joshua Powell
it sounds like you were interested in making music for the wrong reasons.

>To be honest, the "artistic lifestyle" seems almost like a childish endeavour at this point, and I don't mean any disrespect Thats cause you're on the wrong end of the "artistic lifestyle" line, where you'll find more people like rather than any professional musician

I get you, OP. Unfortunately, music is not for everyone. Only a few can make a living off of this. You have to throw everything away to have just a shot at this. If you don't few rewarded, if you wanted to be more than just a hobbyist, and doesn't think you are able to do that, you really should find another more productive thing to do with your time and energy.
I feel you, bro.
John Lewis
music is a performance art and producers are aural masturbators
u can't sit in front of a computer and expect to be good

can anyone explain to me why soundcloud music is so uncreative, but in a way that seems like they aren't even trying. Like 99% of it is 4/4 with the same tempo and key the entire song.
David Gonzalez
this, the day i completely stop making music i will legitimately kill myself. everything else in life is just a temporary distraction

He is not just expecting to be good. He tried and tried and tried, and it didn't work out. He does not feel he is improving. And if you are not improving, what's the point? Just throw away 5 thousand hours of you life, just because? Yes, success, money, fame, making a change, something that matters are not the most important things, but they are important as well.

David Phillips
You were never interested in music to begin with.
Nolan Taylor
Are you on Billboard, the Rolling Stone? No, so you are not so passionate about music as well, otherwise you'd be there.
Austin Roberts
so touring musicians and behind the scenes songwriters aren't passionate?
