‘SORRY FOR BEING SHADY’

lol, Awsten, like you give a shit.

i’d love for him to address this issue the other way around: bands that stray from their usual writing into a more popular sounding music to expand their fanbase. i always thought that was so shitty and it shows.

because you can write away from whatever genre your fans or the critics boxed you in and still sound like the same band. if you stay true to yourself and write from your heart, your artistry will show. and if you do, your fans are gonna stick by you, because as much as they (we) could like a certain genre or whatever, they (me particularly) usually end up falling in love with the artist. so, as much as you change what type of music you make, if you stay true to yourself, it’s gonna show, and your fanbase is gonna love it. and who knows? maybe you’ll even gain some fans in the process.

(he tweeted something else then deleted it and i missed it. but it said something about Waterparks and i cannot find it anywhere. ugh!)

~talk’s a waste of time~

ok, so…

first of all: Emma looks so fucking STUNNING in that picture. if you could hit that like button more than once i probably would’ve broken my screen.

secondly: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT IS SO ANNOYING ABOUT ADS/SPON VIDEOS?! like, you get to enjoy Emma’s content for free (as usual, because last time i checked YouTube AND Instagram are FREE) AND she gets paid extra for promoting something she actually likes. like, seriously: what’s the downside here? i don’t understand. i tried, i tried putting myself in the position of viewer/fan/whatever-the-fuck-you-wanna-call-yourself (not that it’s that hard, i actually am one) and i still don’t get it.

it’s just so stupid.

why are people so anti-ad and anti-spon? it’s not like she’s demanding you buy the product, she’s like: “hey guys, check this thing out. it’s really good, i actually use it and like it #ad”… how is it hurting anyone? again: she’s getting some extra money to promote something she likes, why is that so terrible?

honestly, at this point, these people just need to go fuck themselves and get a life.

and also: if you don’t like that she’s ‘sold out’ or whatever the fuck you think it’s happening: unsubscribe, unfollow. literally NO ONE is making you see her content.

just stop being such a dickhead.

goodbye.

true dat, Tom.

i agree with him completely.

as music goes, i usually  buy stuff from artists i like without a doubt. and if i’m unsure i’m gonna like it, i’d download it, and if i do, then i’d buy a physical copy. but, the problem comes when most of the artists i support and love aren’t edited in my (third world) country (Argentina) and so i am literally unable to support them and give them my money. before you even suggest it, no. i do not buy digital music, because: firstly, i don’t have the means to. and secondly i have this irrational fear that if i can’t have it in my hand then it can be taken away from me by something as simple as a trojan virus. i KNOW all purchases are saved in ‘the cloud’ or whatever, but still- i don’t know, i said it was irrational. either way if i could have access to physical copies i would totally give them all my money, even though musicians don’t make much profit from record/singles purchases anyway. they make most their money through live performances. and if you’re wondering, yes. i go to every concert all my favorite bands play in my country because i am lucky enough to live in the biggest city where they all come to play. if i didn’t, i probably wouldn’t be able to. because in case you didn’t know, Argentina is a very big country and you cannot simply ‘take a train to anywhere’. so, thank god i live in Capital because i love going to concerts. it is truly a magical experience and also: yeah, bitches, you are incredibly talented, take all my money,  you deserve it!

as far as series and movies go, too. my sister and i are big, big fans of A LOT of series and movies (we follow over 20 series per week) and we buy all the physical copies we can get our hands on. maybe we do illegally watch it at first, but that’s because in this god forsake  country, some of these arrive very, very late (like, we’re still waiting for season 3 of “Arrow” to be edited. We’re on season 6 motherfuckers, get your shit together!). and also movies. and my mom pays for Netflix. and i looooove going to the cinema. a, it’s a whole different experience. b, shut up and take my money.

also books, comics and manga. that shit’s expensive, but i save up and buy them because i love supporting the artists. and, let’s be honest, digital has nothing on physical as far as books go. the weight of the book, watching the drawings up close... sorry, digital has nothing on it. (and i do have the same irrational fear of it being taken away from me... sorry).

so, yeah. i’m a big supporter of the arts. but sometimes i have no other way but to make use of piracy. as sad as that sounds u.u

p.s.: i was saving money to pay my mom in order to purchase “Oscar’s Hotel” and now Vimeo took it down. so i might never be able to watch it in my life :(
