Ha ha ha! But only if you can be there and sample it.

About 22 or so years ago, I had a personal website where Iād posted some recordings, mostly guitar-oriented stuff, and I had included an email address somewhere on the site. Someone took the time to send me an email saying, āif I made music this bad, I would kill myself.ā This was pre social media, pre comments sections on websites ā it actually took work to pass that little tidbit along. Iām embarrassed to say that I took everything down after that, and it was several years (and some major encouragement from my guitar teacher) before I posted anything publicly again. I wondered (and still do) if that came from someone with a burner email address who actually knew me, and knew me well enough to know Iād probably react the way I did. Whatās interesting to me now is that, in spite of how much more toxic the internet has become overall since those days, things Iāve posted here or on YouTube have received some really great, positive, encouraging comments. Go figure.

I think that all of these insulting comments coming from people that canāt do shit themselves, a person who plays any instrument, producing music, does whatever knows that everyone start somewhere and how hard it is to climb up, they almost never will react with insults, they might throw in some constructive criticism but donāt think that theyāll go for these low insultsā¦
I find them really funny because of how I think, I know that if thatās something shitty itās probably coming from someone whoās opinion doesnāt worth shit.

My conclusion after 20 years of being abused on the internet for existing is the following: There is no rhyme and no reason, no logic behind their comments, the just take whatever they can take to hurt one, and thatās what they get off on. Time is better spent making them feel unwelcome, instead of applaud them for appearing to have a half brain cell.

Someone messaged me recently on reddit to tell me my music sounds āvideogamey.ā It was clearly meant as an insult, butā¦ yeah, like half the music I listen to comes from video games and one of my goals as a musician is generally to capture the vibe of certain video games in my music. Thanks for stating the obvious, random internet weirdo

Well, some of mineā¦
āI canāt listen to this. This makes me aggressive.ā
- Friend walked in while I was starting a really chill out track with nothing really happening in there, yet.
āIām > good. I made it into 6 min.ā
- Same friend after listening to a cheesy hard trance track I made as a joke. Glad it didnāt make them aggressive this time.
āYOU made this?ā
- Random friends.
āI knew YOU made this.ā
- Former flatmate who probably knew me too well.
āThatās niceā¦ā āI really liked itā¦ā
- Some folks on social, SC etc. Iām actually happy there are some people around the world who had a nice time with what I made.
āā¦ā
Well?
āWell, ā¦ ?ā
- Parents.

āSick!ā is probably the most positive comment I heard someone say onceā¦ Canāt ask for much more can I
Recently sent an unfinished hip-hop track to a chat to ask for mixing advice, and one guy took an opportunity to say it sucks because itās not hip-hop at all, it doesnāt follow the hip-hop conventions etc.
The thing is, the track is anything but original, itās heavily inspired by a certain 2023 album, and people have told me it wouldnāt feel out of place on that album.
Also Iāve been told that it sounds professional, as in actually released music and not just someoneās sound doodles.

This is possibly my favourite comment to a track so far, which translates as ābabulalā, which apparently can have multiple meanings related to small children or bureaucracy. I named a song after it.

I first read this as babalu (rather than babulal) . Ha! Should probably get my glasses checked.
