I feel like it's easy to see sweeping trends in music as a signal of something wrong, or bad.If you are an artist, it should make u SALIVATE

The more the crowd zigs, the more a zag stands out. The larger the group of white coated sheep are, the more a black sheep stands out.

I'm not saying everyone should just want to be an artistic rebel, or outkast(sorry had to). I AM saying that the instinct to light a match

to the 'establishment' of any corner of the art world is perfectly natural, and healthy.hip-hop was built on it. rock n roll was built on it

I'm saying this cause ever since I've been involved in music, I have heard complaints about how 'all the new _____ sounds the same'

I'm not saying this to point the finger at anyone, but merely to offer up how what many see as a liability is actually a big asset.

I can see right now 1 or 2 unlit bonfires in the music industry. Whoever lights a match to 'em is gonna leave a pile of smoldering ruins.
