⚠️ It’s a rant ⚠️

When I was younger my pursuit for music was insufferable, I got some sick sense of useless pride from discovering new tracks no one had ever heard. 

This resulted in me discovering many artists that really were revolutionary at the time but why did that matter, other than for sharing with someone else that may enjoy it. 

I had no real claim to these things. 

Humorously, I watched as blogs at the time consistently got it wrong with what was going on. 

In this conquest for new music, I often missed studying what else was already around me. Both new and old music that I now find remarkable missed my ears, mostly from lacking the patience to listen. 

Remarkably, my futile and borderline obsessive opinions on the music never thwarted another major segment of listeners whomst probably really enjoyed said music. 

What did this do however? Led to some amazing opportunities with people who respected my vision and my ear for music. 

It led to me hearing many other amazing peoples opinions on things that I may not have appreciated otherwise. 

Many things exist all at once in the world of taste. 

Digital art is much the same way for many I assume. 

Their tunnel vision for a select few or a flavor of the week blinds them to the bigger, much more dope, picture. 

Blind to the pure joy of supporting something that may be actually terrible but lost in the moments of joy because that’s what fandom can be. 

Accidentally ignorant to the depths of art. 

Look around a little more often. 

The “arts” is a big thing. 

Support your niches. 

All of the things both that you like or dislike matter. 

They make up a larger picture. 

Your opinion matters but maybe not how you think it really does. 

This post doesn’t matter either tbh. 

Keep going, it does matter a whole lot. 

People keep movements going. 

Do it for the love of the game.
