Blame it on the autism, but when I cannot begin to understand other people's motivation my brain just grinds to a halt and SCREAMS.

I get a lots of ads for ""musicians"" on my Instagram. Probably more than the average person because I click on them due to morbid curiosity and "for research" and it just gets worse because I never get any damn answers.

Half of them are AI to start with, so there's that…

The rest? Jesus fucking damn. Some of us have had music in our bones since we were born and we've been chasing this dream to the point of self-destruction while a burning world tries its best to finish us off.

These "singer songwriter" girls? I just don't understand it. My best guess is they have tits + long blond hair + money so being a "singer" is just another flavor of influencer grift. They think it makes them special. And their desperation for attention makes the rest of us who actually want to be recognized for skill and authentic vulnerability look bad. These are the girls "doing it for the fame."

And if they even HAVE a website or bio, which the majority DON'T, it never SAYS anything. WHY did they get into music? No clue. It's literally nothing but hollow buzzwords like "powerful" and "emotional" and "soulful"… (I am issuing a swift kick in the pants to every fucking "artist" who puts the words "soulful vocals" into their bio)… AND IT JUST DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING. How and why am I supposed to care about your "music" if YOU don't even give enough of a shit to specifically TELL ME ABOUT IT and why it matters to you?!

I hate this timeline.
