Continuation of previous struggles thread.
i didnt get to reply to the people asking me questions in the last one, so heres my post again if you wanted to talk about it before:
"all i wanna do is make incredibly emotional/honest music on the neutral milk hotel/the music tapes side of the e6 sound but everyone is too afraid of what people will think of their output so they all just make safe boring garbage"
anyways tell us about your music struggles /mu/
>emotional
>honest
>get me the fuck out of PA so i can go to local shows that arent shitty pop punk start ups
Every musician that I know that's even remotely cool plays guitar and nothing else. A 6 man guitar band probably isnt gunna fly

that means u can relate to their shitty lyrics about wanting to leave their town my dude ur livin it
I try to write songs that are genuinely interesting and that differ from the norm but every other musician I know is just interested in the same old shit that they think is "different" and don't give a fuck about my music

Yeah most people just wanna succeed they dont give a fuck about actually trying to make good shit

in my town everyone's stuck playing crescendocore post-rock and listening to Swans like they've reached the pinnacle of human evolution

You should just do it guys. So what if your local scene doesn't support your art, be the pioneer of that style and make your town famous.

I've been getting positive feedback on my first album but no venue has responded back to any requests of performing (which is understandable, I don't have a stable fanbase or anything)
To remedy this, I'm just going to play open mic nights and house shows all summer whenever possible to get my music out there. Might as well try and get it out there.

tfw live in philly and all i want to do is play braindead caveman grindcore/powerviolence but everyone here just wants to play posicore pop punk
and everyone in the suburbs plays deathcore

but so far no one has listened or talked about my stuff apart from my close friends.
Working on a full album currently

Good to hear, I imagine that if you do something long enough, they'll pay attention eventually. Its even more likely to happen when the content you're producing is of good quality.
>>66000947
yeah that's a good point
>>66000942
