>fuck "social media". the only thing it's useful for is promoting, advertising, and more advertising. As far as being a human being on social media, forget about it. you're just another number we can all add into our little follower count, that ultimately adds up to NOTHING i require to make music. So, ill just leave this shit for management to pump out advertisements and promotions just like the rest of the sheep.

Because, strangely - this world doesn't revolve around you and your wants/cares.

In some ways that's not an entirely cringeworthy sentiment
I think he could have pulled it off had he not called literally every other artist who uses social media a sheep
and anyway, being a sheep is surely marginally better than being a mouse
Has a single person ever quit social media without announcing they're quitting social media?
>>61115830
>another "artist" acting high and mighty and saying fuck it to prove how superior they are
Will this become a trend?
As far as twitter goes he's 100% correct. Now watch all the boojie poptimists on /mu/ accuse him of being a "le wrong generation" fag.
>>61115936
Nah, it's not an inherently douchey thing to do. He just clearly did it in a douchey way.
I find it funny that the maximum interaction with Twitter I've had is /mu/ posting shit from people's twitters, and sending puns to Jeff Mangum's wife's twitter.
>it's useful for is promoting, advertising, and more advertising
Said the artist who promoted himself relentlessly on social media.

>der der artists shouldn't have a voice in society
>>61115921
lmfao. Even when they're not, people only use social media for attention
>>61115943
How else are you supposed to respond to something as consummately shitty as twitter except with douchiness?
This thread has nothing to do with music.
>>61115954
and here tbqh
if anything joel is probably one of the most active self-promoters
So instead of stopping the advertising and trying to use it to connect more directly with his fans, he just gives up?
Sounds like his approach to music, instead of actually trying to do something interesting he just gives up and does the same old thing over and over.

I got off of all social media because I became too worried about people hearing my music and not worried as much about making it. Now that I'm off of everything, it's the opposite and I feel like I'm getting a lot of work done. I didn't really announce anything I just deleted everything one day. This would've been a much better reason to post on your Twitter. But I bet people will be posting agreeing with him ON Twitter and then continue to use their Twitter accounts. It's unnerving how people take this stuff so seriously.
>>61116047
you can't upvote on 4chan I think you might be confused

The guy already replied to the post with a link, you don't need to show him the response, he's already seen it. Maybe you need to lie down a little, take a nap, get that crankiness out of your system.
>>61115830
He's 100% correct......it's a massive drain on time and energy
I'm way happier since I got rid of all that shite a year ago
He's right though
Social media is the embodiment of everything that is wrong with our current society and culture, and will most likely be society's downfall as well.

And neither does it you, the proper response was already made, so why did you feel it was necessary to just link two posts together that were already linked? If you wanted to add to the conversation, you're welcome to, but the response you made added nothing to the conversation and frankly just amounted to nothing more than shitposting.
Deadmau5 is kind of tragic. He has talent and knows how to make money of it but he is not as good as he wants to be and knows it so he is defending himself with arrogance. Like his mom.

>>61115971
Don't sign up to it, use it extensively to promote your shit music and rack up 4m followers I guess
just a thought
>>61117649
yes and then post things like "i wish i had someone to buy me things!" "ew fuck donald trump!" "omg new taylor swift song yaaasss bitch slaaayyyy"
its the most cringe shit, and everyone talks and sounds the same with the same meme sayings and everything.
>>61115981
He is really fucking good at that. Promoting himself without looking like he's promoting himself. Twitter raging, coffee run videos with other celebrities, livestreams, and most of all having an icon people remember. (The mouse head) you hear his name and immediately think about the mouse head, and vice versa. He really is a marketing genius.
>>61117481
Death grips have and use a Twitter and Facebook
>>61115830
>So, ill just leave this shit for management to pump out advertisements and promotions just like the rest of the sheep
so he's not really taking a stand, just leaving the messy work for someone else to do because he can't be bothered to do his own promoting
how about leaving the twitter page up and not posting anything?
>>61117791
they rarely post on twitter and they deleted a shit ton of facebook stuff yesterday

>>61118105
you can get it back from twitter with all the posts and everything if youre a big famous celebrity type. ive seen lots of twitters get "hacked" or deleted, and twitter brings it back with all the followers and posts and everything.

Lol this faggot's probably just upset because of the BTFO'ing he got from Skrillex a while back. I seriously can't stand this dick, he reminds me of myself too much at 15.
>>61121633
someone from /mu/ is way too autistic to even make a social media account
DOOM IS NOT ON TWITTER
deadmouse is a retarded faggot who makes shit music and had the eternal mentality of a edgy 13 year old boy.
But the reality is social media allowed us to know how stupid are favorite celebrities really are, there used to be a mystery to musicians and actors.
I would have no idea deamouse was an annoying faggot if it werent for his online posts.
Not having an online presence is just as strategic as having one in this age
My new thing is to a rip a pube from my bush and put it on every urinal I use and take a picture.
Fuck you sheeple.

Stop posting, Joel
he said it as if its some grand revelation only the enlightened get, when really it's something every 14 year old understands at some point. how old is he again?
>>61115830
Is he even still relevant outside of the drama he creates
This feels like a cop-out. I bet his new album is going to suck major dick and he's trying to salvage his reputation at least slightly.
He probably won't even make it because he'll pretend he's angry and frustrated and he's gonna kill the deadmau5 brand and just retire
i guess i'm gonna have to buy memebership to his site to hear him ranting, this is so sad
who's gonna entertain me now
Didnt he do the same thing last year and return within a matter of weeks
>>61122840
>implying there's not plenty of them already on the urinal
God damnit you're artistic
>>61123612
He still headlines summer festivals and apparently gets $500k for each of those.
I guess he won't tour until there's a new album, but he still does the odd techno set in clubs around the US.
>>61117141
I've been seeing that shit on almost every fucking board in the last like two weeks and honestly I want it to be bannable.
>>61123642
>he's gonna kill the deadmau5 brand and just retire
he's just built a million dollar studio at home........no fucking way is he gonna retire
>>61120571
That's actually quite pleasant.
>>61123768
he knows his game is up, he doesn't have anymore creative ideas, most of the shit he's done post RAT was pretty mediocre
He's considering dropping the deadmau5 name too.
I know that feel, after 3-4 years an alias feels dated.
>>61124101
oh man, I want him to do it so bad.
just go full experimental and don't force out shitty edm tracks to keep the "fans" happy. pls Joel, do it.
>>61123774
Yeah, his SoundCloud was always better than his albums.
One time he deleted it all and just posted this EP up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki9h7CWipbo
Pretty Cash.
He then later awkwardly tried to mix in these piano pieces in with his usual 128bpm 4-to-the-floor stuff on While (1<2), and it just sounded like a shit Jon Hopkins.
banksy's at it again
>>61115830
lewd
>>61124499
He put an "album" of sorts, Project 50 or something, up for download once. Shit was more creative than his released stuff.
man he also deleted his facebook account

...instantly friendless, unless i initiate contact with people. don't want to go back partially on principle, partially because i can't stand the way everyone acts/self-promotes/ego-strokes/likeslikeslikes.
use twitter mostly as an rss feed for news/musicnews/events.
can't really into tumblr.
tried reddit, but every forum drips with sanctimony and the most retarded humor.
floating adrift in the anonymous digital void that is 4chan, which is a pretty terrible place to be, but i don't know where else to go anymore.

Wow that sounds different than I remember, even the tracks I liked.
Something tells me he used samplers and loopers Duda wrote on this.

>>61126181
>>61126398 mentioned the bad side.
the good side is chris ott is there. it's also a convenient way to get news and updates about things that interest you. the kind of thing you check first thing in the morning to find out what's going on in the world.
>>61127513

Literally get fucked. The appeal and design of 4chan is precisely that it was substantively asocial to begin with, spawning multiple other chans which have the same basic asocial (yet communicative) structure. Once other contemporary, unrelated "brands" (fb/myspace) blew up, they did their thing for a while, and began to be described as "social media".
It is only in the past three years or so that a website like 4chan has begun to be lumped in with these plebs. The retconning appellation of the phrase "social media" to this place is a kind of soft failure of history, in much the same way that "emo", used on /b/ nine years ago, became morphed into a code-word for edgy suicidal nu-metallers, where before it had simply described lite-guitar-hipster types with slightly angsty lyrics. Neither party is sympathetic of course, but the point is that language is quickly perverted and solidified - and this is regrettable.

I'd agree with his statement, if he hasn't been completely subversive to this social media non-sense for several years. His criticism means nothing when his career is based on e-bullshit.
The man has a Minecraft tattoo and uses his cat a selling point for fuck sakes.
I wonder what has made him so assblasted that he is attempting to take some sort of high road, here.
>>61132636
probably jealously, seeing bieb and jack ü songs all over everyone's best of the year lists, while he never gets that kind of mainstream attention or acclaim.
>>61132658
It's not like some musicians don't post personal things on Twitter. Go look at Phil Elverum, St. Vincent, or John Darnielle. They use it for promotion too of course, and I'm sure if you like someone enough to follow them you're interested in things they're doing that will be promoted. I'm not sure what his issue with this is.
>>61132719
Fuck I can never remember to remove the quote link.
>>61132658
this. He's obviously jealous, and is using this "justin bieber dindu nuthin" rant as a means of damage control so people think his bitter actions toward skrillex's recent success had a point and wasn't just deadmau5 being a jealous teen. The truth is that's all he was; jealous. Him deleting his twitter and shit was also a ploy to distract dumbasses into noticing how basic the reason for his constant disses truly was.
You're reading this aren't you Joel? I'm right aren't I? Do something good for a change, your music really sucks
I'm not really a fan of either of their music but I think Skrillex is a pretty cool guy and he never acts like a cunt.

it's weird that claimed he still had "artistic integrity" while people who write/produce for pop artists don't. like dude. you're a edm musician. your goal is to make "bangerz" for people to dance to. which is prettttty much what pop singers were created for. the two genres are peanut butter and jelly, and crossing over was a natural move. fucking MOBY laid down that blueprint 15 years ago with gwen stefani. i swear, dude just thinks he's more talented (maybe he is) than skrillex and diplo, and is seething that people don't recognize it.
I just want joel to be happy desu and I want to make tunes with him
>>61130340
How does someone on /mu/ not know the history of emo? Hint: It has nothing to do with whoever you were hanging out with on /b/.
>>61133193
Eh, I see integrity more as a function of how the work is made rather than who listens to it so it makes sense that someone who is handed a record with their name on it has less integrity than someone that made the entire thing on their own. Unless he samples, then fuck him for being only slightly less artistically parasitic. I honestly don't know the answer, I've never heard a single song of his since it's a shitty genre.

Social media is really what you make it for yourself. You choose who to follow and who befriends you. When normal people are like "ew social media imma delete facebook", I cringe a little bit because it just tells me that the person just doesn't know how to manage their information flow.
If you're a public personality though, tough break.
>deadmau5 calls four million fans sheep and cuts them off

Joel is just mad that his popularity and relevance have been on a steady decline since Ghosts n Stuff and he's doomed to booking ever-smaller club and festival gigs. He has the maturity of a 14 year old.
