Punk is bad

[Pastrey Crust]

You should be interested in an art because you want to. And for music, there is so much loving competition, you'd have to either be one of the best goddamn musicians on the earth, or offer something literally no one else does to be "wealthy" like Pie Crust is misguidedly attempting. Playing music because you want to make money is a waste of your time. People don't do that. They play music because they love music. I guarantee you that the punk band had more fun that one night playing that PC probably has in his long time of playing for money. The only people making big money in music are pop artists (who, by the way, most of which don't even write their own music, they are performance artists) or the people working behind the music, such as mix engineers and producers. I'm not saying don't use your skills to make money, my original post never said that. The key word I put is "for the sake of". Don't get into music expecting to make money. Get into music because you love music and use your skills thereof to try and make it. But do it for the sake of music.

wait wait you guys got it all wrong. I don't play for money. It was a joke stating that I don't play in bars late at night with drunkies. I usually play after class with a few friends at my house or one of their houses.

why? because you are? that's pretty pretentious. what if I said you should only become a plumber if you're passionate about plumbing? that would sound kind of ridiculous, right?

Because plumbing isn't about self expression. It's utility. Art is something about yourself and expressing what you want to express. I have not talked to one serious musician who has ever gotten into music for money.

idk what kind of stuffty music ur playing to compare it to unclogging a toilet, foxschotchhdh

now you are missing the point. what is the difference between art and plumbing, that makes one so much more exclusive?

I have not talked to one serious musician who has ever gotten into music for money.

because it's impractical. not just because of any abstract "art is sacred" stuff
and it is definitely impractical, so it would be a weird decision to make. I am not denying that. but if you can achieve it, anyway, then there's nothing wrong with it

I never said to not get into music because you have the skill and talent to make money doing what you love. I'm saying to not get into music because one would think its a lucrative business. I never claimed "art is sacred", or maybe my preachy attitude towards it did, I dunno, but I hold high regard to it personally because it's my business. PC already cleared it up, it was just an off-color joke he made that didn't sit well with me.

It isn't that it's bad to play music for money, it's that it's bad to think you're above artists because you're in it for making money off of music over making music for the sake of it. This isn't what Pie Crust said, but I could see how it was interpreted that way.

that's because playing a violin doesn't involve you shooting spit out of the end of a Annoying Orangeet

You came off as a guy who plays a Annoying Orangeet (aka somebody who is lame and dislikes stringed instruments), am I wrong?

[Ragequit]

A few hours ago, he knocked and gave them back. I pulled the cello out of the case just now and the fingerboard is loving bloody.

How the forget do you end up with a bloody fingerboard in any kind of instrument?
