>why listen to music when you can just make music desu am

OK, but as a counter-argument:
>why make music when you can just listen to music desu

plebs

>Why listen/make music if YOU can be music

>>70190303
making music is kinda like being music
>>70190267
idk, the creative aspect of it is pretty rewarding

>>70190370
think about the greatest experience youve ever had while listening to music.
now think about how the person/people who made that particular song/etc must have felt before/during/after its creation
knowing that from them came something that is wholly theirs and exists forever, having some kind of amazing effect on at least one person out there who you will probably never even know.
kinda like having a kid lol
>why make babies when you can make music desu

Can I make a song without listening to it? Time to flex on Beethoven.

Here's a counter counter argument:

>How can you make music if you don't listen to music

>>70192289
I feel like there's something biological about music, given that so many animals sing or whatnot. So I feel like you can make music even if you don't listen to music

>>70192289
i wouldnt say theyre mutually exclusive though
sure, maybe you do need to listen to music before you can ever make music, but once you are able to make music, why would you listen to music

>>70190248
because your music would be mediocre shit at best

>why watch movies when you can make your own?

Exactly

Clicking play or dropping the needle is a whole lot easier than dedicating all of my life/energy to an art

because I am not a narrsasist and have the ability to empathize with other people. Music is a form of human expression, you're basically asking:
>why listen when you can talk desu
because if you never really listen to anyone else you will end up alone, ignorant, and unhappy
youre not the only one who has "important" or "unique" ideas to express, and you're not the only one who wants their "important" or "unique" ideas heard.
yes you're being retarded, and a bit of an ass

Appreciation of the art form. There's a feeling you get when you hear something crazy that you never would have come up with that you don't experience during the process of creating music yourself. Listening to music is inspiring.

I want to support a small family

Why have conversations if you can just talk to yourself?
