I'm so tired of these posts that preach to people about why they aren't "making it" yet in music. It's amazing to me how someone can write a post like this then pat themselves on the back and think they're actually helping people. And equally as baffling is how people on this sub eat this s*** up like it's a 75% off sale on a Splice.com subscription. I mean I guess I kind of get the impulsive upvote, a lot of the points are valid, but look an inch below the surface and they all boil down to generic life advice that literally ANYONE could give. "Spend less time on social media", "Procrastinate less", "Practice", "Network"; Truly revolutionary ideas here, definitely not the same meaningless pseudo-motivational drivel we all see here on a weekly basis. Why don't any of these claimed "industry veterans" share an actual anecdote from their umpteen years of experience? Something practical maybe?

It's also funny how many people here literally do all of these things, and never see a glimmer of a slight possibility of what you describe as "success". The barriers to "success" go way WAY beyond this, which anyone with professional music industry experience should know. Also considering not paying your bills with music "failing" reeks of something a record exec would think, not an actual musician.

The whole tone of these posts rubs me the wrong way, and it's not just the dumb clickbait title, though I have a bone to pick with that as well. Like I'll fully admit I'm still learning and maybe my music does "suck" but to act like anyone who isn't famous yet isn't making good enough music is just... gross. Get off your high horse, and also you're wrong. I've recently started doing the monthly song contest hosted by this sub's discord and I was floored by the talent and quality of songs these INDIVIDUALS churn out every month. There's songs I've saved from those contests that I consider just as good as many of the other music I listen to (save for the obvious mixing/mastering stuff, but even that is normally pretty decent, at least for a song done by one person in a month). Beyond the sub, there's plenty of near completely unknown artists who make genuinely amazing music (don't wanna link examples here for fear of this post being taken down, but I'll gladly dm anyone some spotify / soundcloud links to these artists). It's oversaturation mostly, and locality, and above that money. It is for sure not our music "sucking." So please, out of here with that negativity, who are you to preach to us? Don't spit out your years of experience at us, swallow them instead.

It was a connection I only recently made. A few months ago I quit music after realizing that if you were to plot my pill/alcohol usage alongside my track postings it is always the worst when I'm engaged in a project. After 'quitting' I was, mood wise, the best I had been since I began releasing music. I was 2 months sober but I felt empty.

I'm in therapy, which helped me make this connection, so lets set the substances aside.

I enjoy music. I love writing. I enjoy production. Exceot when I feel like it's thrown into the abyss, then I hate it. Everything after writing with my acoustic guitar is hell on earth. It makes me not even want to touch a guitar. I can completely ruin my day by just jamming alone.

I'm going to think out loud here because maybe someone can help see something I don't, or has been through this before and can help me find a door. Or any advice that could help me move forward. I don't know.

1. Oversaturation. Everyone and their grandmother makes music now. There are so many incredible musicians on YouTube alone that it baffles me how anyone is able to get traction. This has always bothered me, but maybe it bothers me more because...

2. I'm working in a dead genre. When I started releasing original music 1 year ago almosst exactly I let listeners on Submithub and wherever classify me. A pin was dropped right on "grunge" every time. I've released 13 songs and 11 were featured in reviews. I've had comments and reviews say that I sound similar to artists from the height of that era. While that's great and I don't mean to humble brag, maybe it's shoehorned me into pursuing that route and painting me into a corner. Meaning even given the saturation, I'm not even able to compete due to my dated sound.

3. I am not a happy go lucky person. Grunge fit perfectly, I resonated with it the most even before I knew it as "grunge". After being labeled I realized that I did listen to a lot of Soundgarden/Nirvana/Alice in Chains growing up, and maybe it had influenced my tastes. I was an outlier even then, since we're talking 2007.

4. But what do I want to do? I enjoy acoustic folk rock. But mix the initial point of point3 with folk and suddenly I'm once again not compatible with this new wave of dreamy happy folk that is currently going on. In fact I was told that mood was the only reason my main folk attempt was denied from a rather large YouTube curator. That sort of shut it down quickly mentally for me.

I know they always say you should enjoy the process even if no one hears it, but for me the misery of throwing my music into the void ruins the ability to enjoy the process.

Maybe I'm spitting in the wind, but I could miss out on some valuable advice by not posting. So, worth it.

i keep a single plant in the garden, and keep it watered and fertilized and on a regular basis to insure that the plant is well rooted and healthy.

To keep the shrub or tree from withering, cover with a layer of mulch (mulch means "root material"; mulch is a kind of soil).

The first few days, the plant will look like an overripe banana peel.

On the 3rd - 6th week, the plant will look like a fruit.

After this fruit, the plant will look like an excellent ripe strawberry or raspberry.

If the plant becomes too thin, it will not bloom normally. To grow a lush, fruit-bearing shrub or tree, you have to let the plant mature and then prune it. Don't prune when the plants are still at a very small size.

To keep the plant vigorous, you should not let it touch the ground for more than 1 minute per day. Also, avoid letting the shrub grow under the eaves of your house.
