so...i was reading in the forums and a couple blogs that people aren't listening to the electronic music that they used to. somehow people are putting alot of groups into genres that i don't think even fit the music. i think this is a big problem in understanding what an artist is trying to do with their music. this got me thinking about some shit. my questions for anyone are: what are you looking for in music? is it to be on top of the trends, to know about all the newest shit? is it the melodies or sound itself? are you making music for yourself or other people? what makes a song with literally the same kick-snare-kick-snare-kick-kick-snare with a few buzzes and bleeps running for three minutes interesting? what makes the most complex beats and melodies not just seem too saturated? music is expression! i think many artists out there are being lumped into generic genres because the music is different...but it isn't experimental or idm, or this or that. people like what they like. why the fuck does music have to be generalized so much? if you like what you do or other people do...listen to it. expression shouldn't be something that is torn to pieces by us or labels. i'm really struggling at this point to decide if i'm going to make music full time or just drop it entirely. i'm serious about it, but to devote enough time and energy to reach the goal i want to achieve is a struggle. now i'm only admiting this because i know people don't take shit that seriously. they sit at home and fuck around with music but don't devote themselves to it. yet they seem to think they know so much about it that they can rip peoples music apart that have devoted their life to it. fuck it...if you want to do it just for kicks on the weekends, awesome...more power to ya. in no way am i trying to say that you have to devote your life to music to enjoy it. get a grip though if you sit with your ipod playing all the new "hot shit" or what pitchfork tells you is cool and think you can judge someones music. you can read all the medical literature in the world but that doesn't mean you can perform heart surgery.
this is where i apologize to anyone that read this...because really it's a bitch fest of my own frustration... | |
