>>15090893>You actually gain credibility in music circles if you like obscure shit that's never drawn a dimeThat's always been the worst part of those scenes. I remember being a lil jimmy on YouTube listening to whatever shit I wanted, and all the comments would be fucking rent-free seething over shit like Justin Beiber. It's pathetic, and all they can do is cut "pop bad" promos. It's a close-minded approach, even if a lot pop is slop. But a lot of your favorite genre is slop too. The truth is that art is only truly furthered by a minority of a minority of artists. Everything beyond that is, on some level, conventional.
