I WANNA BE A SUCCESSFUL MUSICIAN SO BAD WHY IS IT SO HARD??

>>71071273
QUIT BEING A BITCH AND MAKE MORE MUSIC INSTEAD OF WHINING

>>71071273
why strive for success, anon?

why not just strive to be happy playing music you love

go with that

>>71071332
not OP, but for me, I'd like to spend all my time on music. If I didn't have a job and could support myself by making music, I could spend more time making music and collecting shweet gear

Git gud

>>71071273
You have to put out a record first

>>71071363
quit being a wage slave

no slave mentalities here

>>71071388
and do what? live on the fucking streets? can't make ANY music like that mate

The true path to becoming a successful musician is nepotism. If you don't have well-connected, musical parents, you're fucked

>>71071417
You don't have at least one non-homeless parent or sibling ?

>>71071273

i'm here for discussing intelligent music for patricians
go bang on some bongos jungle boy, rock is monkey music

>>71071680
but rap is literally by monkeys

>>71071584
ah yes, my parent's house, where I can't have sex, play music loud, smoke weed, take showers late, have friends over or have house shows. my favorite place.

>>71071713
Pop is not subhuman "Rap" cacophony

Pop is the perfect fusion of male ambition,
craftsmanship, musical proficiency and a seductive, lustful, angelic even voice of a well maintained and sexually mature woman

>>71071902
Wait are you the guy who tried to establish a "pop weekly"? Nice try dude, you did real well with that one.

>>71071765
>take late showers
why not
are your parent's walls thin
can they hear you

>>71071942
they have, how you say, "babies"

>>71071932
what makes you think that?
i don't really expect brainlets to experience reality beyond your obviously very limited perception mind you
but has it ever occurred to you that there might be more then one person that appreciates the most popular contemporary genre of music posting on the "Music" section of a Liechtensteinian Arts & Crafts BBS??

>the thousands of ignored bandcamp albums that are better than anything you can make

>>71071765
you gotta pick your battles

>>71071273
Use more arpeggios

>gotta be famous to be successful
>implying success isn't a quantum state defined by the observer
>implying success can't be local fame and respect
>implying success can't be wooing qt grils
>implying success can't be earning money gigging on the side
>implying success in the horrendous, satanic, evil music industry that leads countless talents to suicide and drug use as a coping mechanism is something to strive for
Just be an apocalypse minstrel like me. The end of the world needs music too, and once the music industry implodes in nuclear hellfire, the world will need some hopeful tunes :^)

>>71071363
You're not going to like this answer but if you can't make something successful while having other responsibilities then you aren't going to without.

>>71071273
>why is success hard to attain?
Keep crying, faggot. Success takes effort. Without competition this world would suck.

believe it or not, most successful musicians have a modicum of talent

if you don't even meet that bare minimum requirement of talent you're not gonna make it

and no, being slightly more proficient on guitar than anyone at your high school isn't a talent
