The more an artist engages with instagram, the less time they're spending being an artist.
...
To all artists (aspiring or otherwise):
๐ Take a DEEP breath and read that once again ๐

If your answer to every unexplained mystery/crime/scandal is to hide behind a pseudonymous account and cry "all experts I didn't approve are wrong it's a conspiracy trust me bro", don't be surprised if everyone serious with skin in the game dismisses you as an oafish nutjob triggered by uncertainty

Assumed it was pronounced "BIST-ih-bull"
Google reveals it's "bye-STAY-bull"

DM vs PM - when did PM become DM?

๐ป Classical music never fully falls from favor...
Its ethos simply transmigrates to a more contemporary genre ๐ป
3 notable cases:
๐พ Synthpop
๐ค Metal
๐ช Trance
Simply the first that came to mindโthe classical influence varies between subgenres (many unexpected surprises)
[Baroque is timeless ๐ก]

3 seemingly diametrically-opposed rock subgenres ripe for reevaluation:
1๏ธโฃ College rock (it's more than just REM)
2๏ธโฃ Faith rock (CCM is too general/exclusionary)
3๏ธโฃ 'Big music' (think cavernous resonant reverb of stadium-fillingโor aspiringโgroups like U2)
Many startling overlooked gems out there ๐
