I have eleven linear inches of screenplays that were represented by William Morris. I have album credits older than you. Don't fucking lecture me.

You're exemplifying exactly why artists are so fucking tedious. You've injected a value judgement into someone's spare time. I've been there: when I was stressed out what I wanted to do more than any goddamn thing in the world was kick back and play The Sims or some shit but no, I wrote screenplays. Because Art. Yeah I heard you even though you didn't say it - "screenplays aren't art." Because "art" is this thing that you do, and people you respect do, and everyone else is wasting their time. "I make music because I fucking need to." Get over yourself. You make music because you think it sets you apart from all the people around you, who you hate, so you're grabbing at the one thing that in your judgment separates you from them and if you don't think everyone else doesn't see it you're fucking delusional.

Look. Make art. Make art because it's therapeutic, make art because it inspires you, make art because it defines who you are but stop shitting on people who aren't making art because what it does?

Is it makes the people around you hate your fucking art.

Right now? Right now you're telling yourself I'm not really an artist. Because I don't "fucking need to." Listen up: Every external observer is aware that the doubt you feel about your abilities and the uncertainty you feel about your path is expressed as vitriolic backlash against everyone who makes a different choice than you. And it is winning you no friends. And until you've seen a line 400-long full of assholes just like you with even less likelihood of going anywhere with it you will hold tight to your bosom the idea that somehow you're special so you get to be an asshole about it.

Ableton is just another video game, son, and a guitar is functionally a skateboard.

Hey man, I don't make music because I want to. I make music because I fucking need to.

And your brother fucking needs to play League of Legends. Get the fuck over yourself.
