nicobarretHell no you really think JPEGMafia could ever be this mainstream? Tyler just made smart moves
1. Built a cult early with OF, shock value, and TV shows
2. Fans of the successful ones, like Frank who went HUGE, grew to like him from their camaraderie
3. Associated himself with Ye, Pharrell, Kali and other artists early and timed his huge collabs like Weeknd AFTER his newer bodies of work which gave normies more to digest as opposed to the cringier s***
4. His festival makes normies that go to for an Uzi show or whatever artists’ fanbase grow to like him too EVERY YEAR.
5. Him going LGBTQ makes a whole generation find an artist they relate to which creates STANS and he Actually made his music LESS weird and more flowery/pop/happy to fit his brand change
If anything it’s the opposite of what you said. Every 2010s alt/indie artist died and It’s cooler now than EVER to spam 100 autotune trap songs sounding like LilBaby showing guns like the 100th Chief Keef image. And anything without crashout lyrics and 808s is getting played LESS. even I am addicted, I used to listen to straight Frank Ocean but now RARELY I get bored even listening to rock sometimes and fiend for energy and hihats.
Even saw one of my fav indie artists in HS with like 14k plays after YEAR on his newest album and was like WTF.
Maybe going alternative like you say is beneficial AFTER youve made it and already oversaturated your style so it’s something fresh to the SOLIDIFIED fans (for example if Drake or Carti dropped a Beatles-esque album playing guitar theyd be called a genius and gain those type of fans while the closeminded old fans just say this one’s not for me but
maybe the next one (still giving both albums multiple streams in the process and thinking it’ll grow after seeing others hype it)But imagine thinking either would be as big if he started out now doing that. Their 1st impression would be “trash artist” and theyd have less/no interest in anything after that by default
What you’re saying is why its more beneficial to be alternative leaning now lol. What you saying is the meta for 2018-now but people desperate for that next thing
Jpeg is a weird case bc he’s older and probably kills off opportunities for brands and bigger acts and s*** to work with him because of how he acts online / but he absolutely could pick up in a childish gambino type lane (black nerd ish lyrics and crazy electronic beats that can be hits every now and then) if he cared to / made a few key choices

just noticed he finally uploaded a video in 4k
Oct 17, 2024Alright, it’s been 24 hours..give is us something new now Tyler
Oct 17, 2024I love that even as Tyler grows and matures he’s still staying true to the early themes in his career. He’s always had a strange infatuation with dictators (and Nazi imagery) but he’s found a way to cleverly communicate these ideas with out the cringey shock value.
