Am i the only one who feels this way about artists & fame?
So lets see, the world of musicians is problematic if you really but i mean REALLY think about it. I have studied music lovers and musicians themselves so much at this point just being always surrounded by people who bitch about how artists sell out and they were better before when performing at small clubs and such. OK look, I mean what artist doesnt want to get noticed by a BIGGER audience? Isnt their job to expose their worldview to an audience by doing what they love most? I believe them performing at small clubs, concerts, you know the "underground scene that everyone respects the most because they are not mainstream where everyone just likes them after being famous" yah all of that is just the big effort they put out in order to pursue a stronger career as a musician which is what? FAME. So when people say "she was better before being famous", "he totally sold out hahah i hate him now", they are just plain hypocrites. People perform their heart out at small events to get noticed such as a record deals so dont be surprised if a little fame and mainstream comes along in that same package too buddy because you know that all you want is people to hear your talent and view and when it gets out there in the fame, youre a success which is what you want, to be successful at publishing your music and have the whole world hear it. So my point is dont hate on artists when theyre in pop culture and the mainstream just because according to your belief they were better underground. The underground is the path to getting the real deal and people have to realize that, deep inside you know you want everyone to hear what youve got and the underground is not gonna get you anywhere but a good place to start to where you know (some dont know) you want to be-Culture of Fame, Pop, and Mainstream.
