Starting a band

everyone should do it, it’s freeing. I could care less about talent and technical skill.

being in a band

I think everyone should do it, regardless of technical proficiency. It's like a little polycule. And like any relationship, it has its ups and downs and lifespan. But there's just nothing like playing with people you love, then sharing how you play together with the rest of the world. Do it! Form a band! Play around! Make noise! Make cool merch and throw yourself a show! Break up! Get back together! Spice of life.

just starting i guess and not putting pressure on yourself to make a “hit”

I’m still early on making music — but this is it: I️ played like drums in middle school and then fell out of like “performing“ until adulthood when I️ decided to start DJ-ing. I️ loved that so much I️ was like I️ feel like I️ can make my own things like 6 months ago and I’ve just been making small shitty 2 minute things for myself every day. For me it’s kinda meditative? Like usually no one hears the songs I am making (besides my partner) but it’s really just for me. No clue if any of them will ever reach a record or be on Spotify, but I️ feel like it’s making me greater appreciate music in general.

BEING IN BAND

i didn’t even forecast for it or anything, i got randomly chosen to be in band, due to my middle school counselor’s crappy forecasting system. i hated it at first, and i told myself as soon as school started i would leave the elective. but that never happened. years later, and i’ve had opportunities to travel, make lifelong friends, learn how to read music, fall in love with music and everything about it. band is something that has a weird stigma about it and a lot of people are think that it’s for nerds or weirdos, and i was one of those people at one point. but you will genuinely meet some of the best people in a music program, and you already have something in common when you meet them. if you can, pick up an instrument sometime. rent one from your local music shop for a month. mess around with it, find a song you want to learn. you might learn to love it. music is something everybody should have.
