Glad to see that you’re back :)
It really is true that we need more honest feeling in music, rather than creating things so people like them. @Banana-head I agree with you
“Breaking the sixth wall”, as you call it, is something we’re always doing. We as people want to follow others. One example could be me. A few of my friends, one of which is @ShadowShinobiTunes, were inspired to make music along with me.
I’m grateful to them for inspiring me in return.
(Also banana-head don’t worry I don’t have much theory knowledge either xD)

YES! It would be wonderful to see people putting their honest feelings in their art, doing what they want to do. Im a guitarrist( im really insecure with considering myself as a musician tho, never went to a proper music school, but i know that i know my stuff and i can get along in a jam session with unknow players pretty well, its just my theory knowledge that is very sub par and honestly, i kinda consider myself a musician, based on my pratical knowledge, but the theory part still bugs me). AAAAAAAnnyway... as i said before, im a guitarrist.
Me and my also musician friends(we used to form a band, love them) are nothing but unknow teenagers to the hight tier commercial music scenario of our neighborhood/city. we make music because we want to, not to please that person that can get us to a record deal. we have our tiny circle of musicians/bands and we apreciate each other's work (even help them in the process composition).
I make music myself, currently writing songs for an EP that might be out this year (if college go easy on me). Theres 2 very shitty demos on my account if you want to listen to, its a genre that only a few apreciate so i totally understands if you think it sucks, shit sound quality is a part of the genre.
I have a friend working on the drum parts, and another writing the bass. i make these songs for myself mostly and for my friends to share with them (if they want to listen to my strange stuff) and im okay with that.
I agree that it would really be awesome to get more people to apreciate my stuff but i won't change my music in order to achieve popularity, if i ever compose something with that in mind, is not me, not anymore.
its 2:00 AM where i live and im really tired so, bye man. really nice text
