what's the point of making music? what's the point

Fun is legitimate, although it's not all you should be doing with music if it's supposed to be expressive. One thing music can do is capture the essence of an emotion.
As far as balance goes, you can just legitimately do what you want if you want it to be individual and poppy, since you like pop music.

I'll listen to it with headphones in the morning, but it seems like it's a cool song

me, being the fuck i am, thought the ideal music was pure expression, so i made noise music which resonated more with that ideal. in reality, i rarely listen to noise electronic music. who would like to listen to music that's pure expression? it would be just a shitty abstract mess of sounds.

for example, i like kero kero bonito. one of the producers said their last song "is about global warming", really? how can the listeners tell? is it all just ironic, post-ironic garbage? what's the point of it?
even though, i cant help but just love what they sound like, but now i feel like the whole experience of music, of all the "music highs" and trances i experienced, just lacks substance

i need to fix this contradiction since i became aware of it, but I don't want to stop enjoying music

Political theorist who hated pop music.
Reading him wouldn't help you with your crisis, so I wouldn't if I were you.
Life's too short for allot of that shit.

I won't read him for now, it's just that music is a big part of what keeps me alive. if i went deaf i don't know if i could take it. i don't want to think that there's nothing more to it, i don't want to stop enjoying it, I won't

you sound really lost. take a couple days off the drugs big guy.

it may just be that im worrying myself sick, it wouldn't be the first time, but i don't do hard drugs at all if that's what you think.
but maybe I'm making sense, and someone can answer me. i accept that making music is not about the same thing for everyone. if you want to see what alienated me go watch a yasutaka nakata interview called 10 rules, something like that. go see how that dude looks dead inside. still, i really love his songs with kyary pamyu pamyu, they're really energetic! so where's that energy coming from? just his desire "to make great music" "music he wants to hear" i feel cheated and i hope he's just shy and not showing his true nature.
like, it made me think that a strong desire to express something (pain, happiness, a desire for a different world) isn't needed to make music that is, to some extent, original and fresh
maybe whats needed is just personal desire for fame, and it makes me think less of music as a whole.
