That stuff is very touching, but it came unexpectedly. I guess what I'm getting at is that i feel like actively trying to build hype is more trouble than its worth these days. you can pour hours & hours into trying to game the system, and the real magic moments of connection will still come completely at random from unexpected sources. like trying to have lots of one night stands vs fallin in love 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not always the men that impose certain expectations upon women and their choice of career/hobbies, it's also (other) women themselves. They need to break out from men's perception of womanhood, but also women's. And women can sometimes be even more visceral towards other women in this regard. It's kind of a "double break-out". Self-initiative, music taste and skill, enthusiasm, .... I mean, what's not to admire and respect here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweepstakes Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Also Lady Starlight - as long as we're going there, she's not really my type romantically, but I adore her as much because she just really gets into it as because she makes nice techno. And I would rather listen to her talk about gear than any YouTube synth influencer (get the fuck off my algorithm, Bo Beats) Same with JakoJako... who happens to be hot, but let's not bury the lede 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) 5 hours ago, Braintree said: Women are just as capable of being talented producers as men are, but they often don't have the extra forces (encouragement or the lack thereof) that would give them an equal playing field right at the start. Women have historically be underrepresented in the arts, music especially. Yep. I will absolutely be more likely to like, comment etc on a track made by a woman (or non-binary person, or other under-represented person), simply because of that. We need more diversity in electronic music and under-represented people need to be encouraged as much as possible. If other women see that women posting their music is getting some positive attention instead of gatekeeping dicks telling them they're not using their gear properly or whatever, that'll allow the diversity to grow, at least somewhat. And that positive vibe cascades down to the younger generations as well, where if younger girls are seeing women making sick electronic music, they're more likely to want to do that themselves.. at least that's my somewhat optimistic view. 5 hours ago, TheBro said: Braintree with respect man I don't see there being anything getting in women's way of making good art. Least from my viewpoint there isn't. The only thing that makes a whole fiasco of it is when men start acting like they do for it undermines what women are trying achieve. Anyways that's how I see. lol, this is hilarious "I'm a man and I see no barriers to women making good art, just join in!" EARLIER THAT DAY... "This woman joined in and got positive comments, wtf why?!" Edited December 30, 2020 by modey TheBro 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Actually that reminds me that one time I posted a video online and my nails just happened to be painted silver. One of the comments was "omg it a girl <3". Then when I clarified that no, I'm not a girl, he replied with "u break my hart" or something stupid like that.
