Worldpremiere_Facts since you are an artist. Yea im out here in LA and its basically that. But tbh its not as vapid as people think since so many are aware of the fake s***. People are getting really tired of it. niggas moving out, fake friends etc. s*** sucks.
I gotta get on that dumb s*** too.
why must it be this wayI mean it has increased visibility for folks in fly over states, but it's a set of crabs in a bucket the only hope is to link with someone with real clout to boost what you're doing

Main thing tho is focusing on ya craft and getting ur s*** out there without the connects as well so you can attract people wit clout who have the same taste as u
Im in a position where im kinda connected but no one rocks wit the style of music i make so even the connects aint really getting me nowhere or even helping me wit promo n s***. im just the homie
Connections are only 1 piece of the puzzle. cant rely on em - Aug 28, 2020·1 replyWorldpremiere_

Connections are only 1 piece of the puzzle. cant rely on emmusic is about image, you can't just make music now, you gotta spend days advertising it, you gotta make good videos, post flyers etc. everything is a package now.
You gotta let folks know when they see a new Johnkuro song they know what the "brand"
But it's that that makes everything a job and takes a lot of the joy out of it, I understand you gotta work hard but when you have a 9-5 on top of another grind where your heart is, it's stressful and time consuming
Aug 28, 2020you real for this thread, f*** anyone who's a sheep to the system and tweeting about "ah i wish i was _ (social media influencer)"

F*** Instagram, but I get most of the news and important happenings in the spheres I'm interested in from Twitter and can also have conversations about it. I've tried to set limits and ween myself off of both and found it much easier to do with IG because idgaf about any of these people's lives and the products that being advertised every other post.

Oct 13, 2020·1 replydisneyfrozenMan I hate the internet, IG is just for advertising.
When was the last time you made a genuine friendship online?People get clowned for even trying stuff these days, and the most bold people are those with no creative vision.
Influences pretty much bought their status, with this mix of pretty privilege and having expensive things, it's like homie said in his book The Society of The Spectacle
“The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.”
I'm so bored with mixed with this anxiety of every present need to try and seem successful, we all stoped keeping up with the jones and keeping up with the Kardashians.
Group chats have become glorified "engagement pods"
You can't even have a meaningful conversation because most social media platforms don't carter to any type of meaningful discussion.
“The spectacle is the nightmare of imprisoned modern society which ultimately expresses nothing more than its desire to sleep. The spectacle is the guardian of sleep.”
Everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame but what do they really do to deserve even 2 minutes
I agree with the most of this but I don’t understand the group chat gripe. I’m in several group chats with my friends (irl friends) and I have had a lot of great moments with them and it’s a great way to stay in contact. Social media at it’s heart is not bad I truly believe that, but the commercialization of it like everything else has been it’s downfall

This thread is funny. People are complaining about negativity on social media and guys while this thread just looks like a bad fart of people complaining.
One guy even saying that people in the 90s related to each other more lmaoooooooo

Oct 13, 2020KTTT is a prison, you make stale memes instead of license plates. Your pet ideology is cope. You consume more propaganda trying to keep ahead of the normies than they do. Your desire for the red pill of freedom is itself your own enslavement.

Social media went to s*** when people started realizing they can monetize themselves on it. Good for them, but it turns the platforms into vapid places

I've had a few good ones but they can turn into engagement pods quickly. Maybe I'm an isolated case as I'm in a creative field but, it happens more often than not. People don't want friends they want likes and RTs

Oct 13, 2020Whoever mentioned “perfectionism” was spot on. We got folks out here doing everything for external validation
Everything from:
Losing weight
Personal dining
Trips
Relationships
CrimesLike breh, you should lose weight for personal reasons and better quality of life not to show your mini feed 😂
Getting life changing surgery for in the moment external validation 😂
You think you’re anxious and depressed now, we haven’t scratched the surface on long term effects yet.. this is still actively playing out and anxiety, addiction, body dysmorphia, and depression have been cited as short term effects
This s*** has the potential to get worse
