Jack n' Circa: your discussion 'round the 22-minute mark made me reflect on my obsession with Scandinavian melodic death metal. Although a lot of bands therefrom speak and write better English than most of my North American cohorts, just as many have less-than-perfect grammar or pronunciation; and though a stickler for literary correctness and/or wordsmithing as I may be on a conventional basis, within that context none of it has ever bothered me (hell, I'll gladly sing/scream along to my favorite melodeath metal tunes and mispronounce words just as they were recorded). In many ways within that genre (and geographical / linguistic source), the lyrics are almost an afterthought; what matters, always, is the carrying melody, the heavy-hitting wall of sound (top-tier production included), and the overall technically skilled musicianship. The other fascinating bit within said realm is that, very much counter to the vast majority of popular vocal-centric music where all the instrumentation acts as the bedrock to hold up the sung lyrics, the atonal "growly" vocals are actually there as a textural element to serve, support, and add weight to the instrumentation (especially guitars, and occasionally synths)... so they tend to be a tad more buried, and in a way less important than everything else in the mix. But I digress. Super neat thought experiment, and I very much dug the discussion in this one, as always! Cheers!
I’m sorry to hear Some Kid Punk is on pause . Funny you talked about pushing a new video every two weeks. I followed that model and it worked well in that it def helped attract people.
Consistency is 🔑 , eventually the right people will gravitate to you, although it has to be professional level, even if you not a A-List. Although, the real 💰 is selling products, & doing paid advertisements. The music is the start, but marketing has to follow to succeed, some pay & some create, creative methods that give them organic traction. Success can happen, it’s all about consistency & not taking no as the answer, it’s a lot of work building your home but the benefits after last a life time. This is business! Remember that! However, do your best to stay true to yourself & do things from a good place but there will be some people you gotta be stern with & not be nice with them/do things strictly business oriented fashion.
So like I havent gotten a bunch of followers and streamers but there's no shortage of people who want to work with and put me on shows, I've even won awards. So like there's value there but the numbers don't move, or they move slowly. Are ppl humoring me?
