anyway, some thoughts from me in here. thanks for the chat @msutherlanduk rollingstone.co.uk/music/goi…
Genre is intrinsically linked to a time, a place and a people. Uk garage was over by the time untrue came out. The same reason we never tried to claim @kiwirekords as a uk garage label
The fact that people don’t understand this is so funny, but emblematic around how they think genre is defined by kick drum placement or high hat patterns and not communities, social connection, and specific people.

we’re all complicit in the broken economics of the music industry, and the erosion of music culture, by allowing the art to be so freely and cheaply available

More people who care — really care — about the artists and the music and not just access, proximity, and likes.

“the default mode for any artist should be ‘im not having it’ - and ‘it’ should refer to more or less everything”

Also when people ask for advice about having a music career I tell them get a job. They look at me confused. Listen your first priority when it comes to art is to make great art that you love, you aren’t supposed to think of the money first. Having a job allows you to do that.
need to stop seeing ‘classically trained’ on press releases like it makes a difference to anything . your favourite artist didn’t take violin lessons at 3 years old and that’s ok

the least you can do if u have the privilege of working in the music industry is be a genuine fan
buy tickets, buy records, support your favourite artists even if you’re not ~in business~ with them

Artist development takes years. They don’t need to “blow up” quick with a hit song to prove they are succeeding. If an artist gets bigger and more established every year, they’re doing something right.
