Even his music wasn't accessible. People were calling it "post-lyrical" and some bars are infamous misquotes. People were still like "omg he wore a dress is he gay".
Every major artist gets profiles written about them. Frank Ocean also has a GQ cover.
the labels people assign to him being provocative or a musical outlier are its own thing, I’ve never considered him mysterious
This is odd because metro works with some of those mysterious artist
Confused due to this tbh. Weeknd pretty much broke out due to embracing this approach at first so
Replacing "fake mysterious" with parasocial interaction based marketing is quite the choice
Your argument is dog s***
😞
Enough to show people outside of your respective fan base that you’re confident in the quality of music you’re about to put out.
when does that start getting annoying though? it's like niggas can make a big deal about making 10-20 beats/day type s***. at a certain point it's about ego.
it would be absolutely ridiculous imo to continuously feed your ego. no one needs to know what you had for breakfast, etc
Hardly calling out, more like just saying he ain't for it
ppl b**** about overexposure and they b**** about mysterious personalities stfu and enjoy the music
I love metro and maybe im misinterpreting what mysterious means, but an artist doesn't owe their fans accessibility to their life. Using social media is a neutral tool, some people like it and use that tool, but some people dont. I’d argue putting yourself out there to the degree some people do is not healthy. Also if an artist wants to take years to perfect a piece, instead of putting one out every other year, thats ok too. Not everyone creates the same, doesn't make someone mysterious.

The key is to keep your fans fed and everyone else guessing. A healthy medium between the extremes often discussed in this topic
