I'm not interesting enough to be an indie musician. I'm not enigmatic like Jai Paul or Burial and I don't have a cool backstory of a "troubled childhood" like King Krule. I should just off myself right now.
Make it all up

If you're that damn bothered then create a character and play that.
julian casablancas was a rich kid growing up and it worked out for him in the end

This guy was an upper middle class Jewish kid from Duluth Minnesota but he made a persona that made him famous. he probably even fucking permed his hair
Don't dream it, be it
Why does troubled chilldhood get a quotation?
How could you patronize something like that?
>>72854076
turn gay and everyone will fawn over your 'innovative' and 'unique' music.
>>72854580
until you baselessly get accused of rape and your career ends
>>72854324
everyone wants a bullshit 'troubled childhood' so it looks like they rose from the ashes or whatever when in reality its just because they were immature and now theyre older
>>72854614

You're already retarded, just make your career off of that.

Nah, looks like pretty standard Jewish hair if he had no care at all.

The entirety of The Strokes were a bunch of rich kids, mostly from all sorts of corners of the world that ended up in New York for various reasons.
Anyway, anon, if you're worried about being an indie musician for the image, don't worry about it. There's never been a defining restriction for music, and while everyone wants to be the working class hero of sorts, not everyone is going to be.
Get out there, make quality music, show it to people, get contacts - I'm not saying you'll make it big, but anyone can pass off their life as interesting if you've got good material and the right connections. If you want to make it big, anyway, you'll need to try to actually do something. Wallowing in your own woe-is-me on Afghan Goat-Herding Radio isn't going to do much for you.

>tfw too vapid and dead inside to write introspective music
>also too vapid and dead inside to write happy music
>too low key to write pissed off music
basically being dead inside isn't great for music
>>72854076
you don't need to be interesting dude. just make music about shit that bothers you. like that fact you don't think you're interesting. make a banger bout dat.
>tfw fucking terrible childhood and chronic illness
>breddy gud at coming up bass and synth parts
>can't write lyrics to bind songs together because I have no poetic talent despite having plenty I wish I could say
JUST
also my illness means I can't stand or walk for more than 20 mins without collapsing from exhaustion so even if I could write great songs I couldn't perform a set without stims and/or heavy painkillers
