Is it just me, or is wanting to become a musical star of any kind just a really narcissistic thing to want? It's funny how we just forget about it because most of the people who we think of as musicians are famous and have always been there, and it's almost like they're part of the scenery and you stop questioning it, just when you see like those amateur types that just play in their s**t bands while they go to work 5 days a week, you suddenly look at them and think "wtf, who do you think you are?". Did your parents not give you enough attention? Or the other side of it, did your parents give you too much attention growing up but then it stopped when you grew up so you're desperate to replace it? How desperate for attention do you have to be? Even if i played music i'd do it a-fucking-lone! I just couldn't justify the selfishness needed to want to do it in front of other people, i'd be doing it for my own satisfaction and nothing more. What's this weird desire to have an audience for your pathetic mewlings?
Saying that... I'm so glad i can forget my disgust for that type of people when i listen to things like this. So glad that i seem to be a little bit of a hypocrite cuz my life would really be poorer without the ability to listen to music..... Maybe it's related to how well someone does what they do. Grudging respect i think it's called. Maybe i like music grudgingly
. Which explains my disgust for weird amateur types that are s**t but can't face up to reality, stop wasting your time and get a hobby that doesn't bore people to tears, we're not interested, your opinions aren't interesting.
Not that mine are either ofc
. Just it can be good for myself to put my opinions down in black and white sometimes, that they're public is only incidental, i don't put my opinions down for anything other than sorting through ideas in my mind. I know that no one will read this also
. Ah well
.
Maybe i just need to lighten up. It'd be nice for someone more lightened up than me but who thinks like me to explain things the way they see them, im sure i must be doing something wrong
. Don't think of it as criticism, i find it interesting to hear other peoples opinions. Personally i think im doing good to just like music at all, it is all nonsense after all
