I'm 16, so still a fetus pretty much. I like any music I can get my hands off (with exceptions) and I'm just looking for a way to improve my songwriting so I can actually write and record my own music. Here's hoping I find that here!
Music is a really important part of my life. I've always been around it, and phases I've gone through have been mostly defined by the music I listen to. It gives me the ability to do something that I love, and try to make something I can be proud of.
My dream would be to be able to practice playing and writing music for long enough to make a living off of it, but I don't have enough time right now to do that.
I'd start with the people running it. If we can remove greed, hate and fear from the people who lead us, then we can remove it from ourselves and slowly make the human race something we can all be proud of, instead of the absolute mess we are now.
I think it would have to be "Somewhere I Belong" by Linking Park. Trust me, I know, but when I was even more of a child than I am now, Linkin Park was a band that I really cared about. I've never been very Emo or edgy, but I've always had a soft spot for this song (though I don't really know the lyrics, I just liked the music).
Oh man, I can't pick any. In fact, here's a short list of the first bands that popped into my head as some of my favorites (this is in no particular order). Metallica, Linkin Park, Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Say Hi, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Snail Mail, Toro y Moi, Chon, Polyphia, Black Sabbath, Conditioner, SALES, AC/DC, Inner Wave, Cage the Elephant, Hiatus Kaiyote, etc, etc.
Other people, really. Seeing what others make inspires me because I want to be able to make that as well. All the music I hear inspires me to try and make something on my own.
To tell people everything what I want to hear when I feel like shit, or see that bad stuff happening on the news, or flame wars on the internet, or people arguing and separating themselves for no reason: that it's not just gonna get better, we have to change the fundamentals of how we do things in order to make them better, and fix the mess we've put ourselves in.
Scared, mostly. I only did it once a year ago at a little music camp thing (i was one of like, 3 fifteen year olds out of 15 or so kids, it sucked) and I failed miserably. Haven't had a chance to try since.
Not sure what this question means to be honest...
I like it. I wanna try to use it, but I'm bad with actually using social media so let's see how this goes.
Hearing music on the radio. I just get annoyed listening to the same trends and things happening over and over and over again, and no one seems to care for some reason.
No, but I want to. I just have to get my driver's license and then find out where it is.
I'm not sure, because I haven't tried anything myself yet.
Okay, Eric Elbogen(Say Hi), The Poolitans(look on SoundCloud), Conditioner, and my absolute favorite band of all time, Hiatus Kaiyote.
