that "ironical" situation has more influence on the world than a punk band refusing all collaboration and saying "fuck the industry" to 10 people in some shitty bar
to create may be to resist, like somebody wrote once, but what happens to that sparkle of a resistance when the song is promoted by a monster like Amazon or when Trump dances to that song at one of his rallies
Everyone has forgotten it ten minutes later. That time you partied with a punk band is a memory that sticks with you. It's not all about reach, it's about connection.
you're not going to "fuck the industry" with "a memory that sticks with you"
and that punk memory too will be forgotten sooner or later
If there's depth to your work, and you're true to the ideals you espouse, then people will respect you and connect with that. Maybe on a smaller scale, but to a greater degree, and for longer.
greater degree? how do you measure that?
longer? pop songs with no ideals seem to stand the test of time.
i don't know why it's so important for you to believe these statements 🤷
Measure it? It's entirely subjective and therefore isn't compatible with measurement, obviously.
I think the vast majority of shitty pop songs fade away.
You should look in the mirror maybe. You're still here, too. Arguing about something that doesn't matter, against a point you don't seem to have understood. I guess we're as bad as each other.
