People think to make good music, you just need to have a good idea and then execute that idea effectively, but this is a false path. A better approach to making good music is to have a bad idea that you fail to effectively realize.

78% of bandcamp followers have not bought anything on my page, very very few bought more than 10$, and I have a lot of plays. slightly better than the rest but basically a streaming platform now.

This might sound petty but weeks that misery is turned up to 11 in this city, I really can't talk with friends who have left, i just don't have the mental energy. Idk maybe it's natural but it makes me hate the situation more.
