you could start at 3 years old, have all the support in the world, and still fail to become the best. so who cares in reality if you have no chance now at 25 or whatever.

i dropped almost 1k and havent touched it since 2024

mail that s*** my way tyvm

isis and now israel destroying f*** loads of ancient egyptian artefacts and sights :mald:

I’m gonna make beats now f*** this s***. Gonna put a couple hours in every week

Well yeah, to each their own. It’s just pointless to me personally. If I pick up a hobby, I want to at least have a chance to become high level at it

Asap rocky also lives with billionaire much more famous Rihanna

He would have lead with that

you can still become high level, just maybe not the "best".

99% of conservatory musicians are this story

Yeah man it’s so f***ed. Israel isn’t just destroying Palestinian stuff basically anything non-Jewish its terrible

im sure theres many many many examples of people who changed careers, started a new hobby, etc in their late 20s, 30s, or even later and became a famous person you recognize today.

i think when im 30 i will actually do it tbh

Lil D***y dropped his first video when he was like 29

But it’s completely different. If you start at 3 years old, you have an entirely different outlook the entire time. Also, it opens up friend groups which gains you social skills and connections, etc.

Once you’re washed like me, all of that impact is basically gone

You can still become really good at things starting that late, but probably not music.

You too negative brother. You definitely could become pretty great at some things, and even if you don't maybe the journey would be fun enough that it wouldn't matter.

I'm friends with the kinds of people I never would've imagined myself being friends with, because I got into tracking cars in my mid 20s, and I'm definitely not the best.

I doubt any famous singer/rapper etc. started the craft at 30.

nope it needs to sit dustily in my bedroom as an eternal monument to my failure and shame

I feel like music is within you always. I never stopped writing songs even if im not working on music like i used to

What Disney movie is that from

a high level on an instrument is hard to measure though

any adult could do the 8 grades of piano exams after a few years but what is that really when you're unable to compose original new music or vice versa. u can compose music really well but can't play it yourself because u lack the ability?

music or any form of art is a good ego killer and makes u realize how far apart u always will be from the endless goal

a girl once wrote to beethoven and asked him for advice on how t be a famous composer like him and beethoven told her

"The true artist is not proud, he unfortunately sees that art has no limits; he feels darkly how far he is from the goal; and though he may be admired by others, he is sad not to have reached that point to which his better genius only appears as a distant, guiding sun."

all perspective which is way art is the purest form of the expression of life and the human experience imo

Wolfgang Tillman or whatever his name is started music at 50-something and got on Endless by Frank Ocean

Maybe I’m too practical. Like if I learned to play guitar right now, what would I do with that? The world has no limits so I’d rather choose something fun but also more useful

Loving the vibe in here. Giving up completely is always the right decision

u could become one of the greatest musicians ever but you'd never be able to play the music you create

ur skills would be too below standard

like tryna become an nba player when ur already 19
