Remember being young with social anxiety and a passion for music? Remember wanting to make music your career but not wanting to be “famous”? Remember thinking you can do it all by yourself like all those “indie” artists? Remember it not being as easy as you thought so you tried branching out to meet other musicians or join a music community? Remember realizing that all musicians are pathologically delusional narcissists who’ve wanted the exact thing you’ve wanted since childhood? Remember coming to the realization that music is just a popularity contest which rewards the most social, outgoing, connected, wealthy and or attractive of the bunch of musicians? Remember hearing about that one random kid you grew up with who “made it”? Remember being told by one of their close friends that they had direct industry connections? Remember giving up and just “playing for yourself bro” after coming to the realization that the public doesn’t give a fuck about uniqueness and just wants a catchy 4 chord trend-of-the-year jingle?
But all you wanted was a niche following, right? Maybe even a few hundred $$ of streaming revenue per year or some form of appreciation? Yea, how’s that going for you user? You’re not on SSRIs are you? It’s going to be okay bros. We’re going to be okay. Sure, we are financially behind our peers, sure going back to college in our 30s will suck, but we will have a comfy life just like everyone else.
>You’re not on SSRIs are you? no i'm not a dumbass who fell for the psychiatry meme

I received a ton of recognition, I collabed with multiple great artists, I make hundreds from streaming revenue, I am that kid from school who made it. Is it enough? Not even close, but I feel accomplished in many ways.

What did you do user?
Jose Murphy
I'm going to be staying at my family's cabin in the woods for a month or two. I'll be working across the street but besides that I'll have an immense amount of free time. Going to give it one last serious go in terms of honing craft and performing and if it doesn't work out it's officially just a hobby.

Jayden Murphy
I’m schizophrenic and I just got offered a job as a quantity surveyor (which is a pretty good job). I just ignore the voices.
Sebastian Bennett
wrote an album. I've still got a song or two to finish and I need to go in and fuck around with some flex timing shit before I release it but I've already gotten started on my next one. gauntwreck.bandcamp.com/track/frozen-exoplanet It's not perfect but I'm proud of it. Giving up is the real enemy. As long as you keep doing shit you've won.
