    Most musicians will never record anything in their musical careers. Most musicians are amateurs who won’t go beyond open mics, bonfires, and coffee shops. Many won’t even go there and prefer to remain bedroom players.

    I’m one of those musicians who does the open mic stuff and occasional shows, been in pickup bands and rocked some faces, but I have no illusions as to my place in the musical strata of the world. Most of us will never go anywhere with a musical career, but for the vast majority of us, it’s a hobby and a pastime, not a career goal. As a musician, I know I make a pretty good computer programmer, and I’m fine with that, but I can’t imagine not making music.

    Music for music’s sake.

      Bedroom musician here. I think you’ve summarized the overwhelming majority of musicians beautifully.

      It’s not a good career goal, but if that’s why you’re making music you’re doing it for the wrong reasons. I think almost all of us realize this

    If people didn’t like making music they wouldn’t do it. It’s not like doing laundry. I’d say this is true for basically any artistic endeavor.

    Even the popstars turning out the most generic trash you’ve ever heard, I’m sure they still enjoy it

    This c*nt can eat a bag of sicks, making music is my life.

    I bought a cheap kalimba and like to just sit on the ground plucking away while my dog “listens” next to me. Just think of all the relaxing bonding time I could be skipping if I had a “generate song” button on my computer…

      Imagine if you had the latest AI-powered GoodestDoggo©, you would have a generate song button on your “dog”!
