That's right, there are two types of music (and some intermediate levels) when your final and only goal is to gain a lot of money and you just use music as a tool to achieve that goal (A.K.A.: pop music) and when the final goal is to "have fun" or to express yourself or whatever name you wish to call it and you gain money (Of course because you need it for a living) but you don't use the whole cash you just earned to please your stupid and money-hungry being and use an amount to continue with your self-expression (A.K.A: metal, rock, and many other things.)icecab21 wrote:(Some misrepresentation coming up so just have fun with it lol)
I have a hard time believing that anyone’s ultimate goal would just be to collect currency as an ends. I have never heard of someone doing something without passion just for the sake of doing it without heart as an ends. To me that takes a maso passion so it’s still a higher goal than just the currency. To me money is a resource to be traded for another resource. One value traded for another value. Let’s take the song girls just want to have fun. Cindy just wanted to have fun, that’s all she really wanted, when the working day is done. im sure fun was part of the writer's goal as well. have yet to hear someone say "i'm having fun but my heart is not in this fun having". now if she is not having fun singing it, but sings it because she wants to have fun, that does not make it simply money oriented to me.
Of course when your goal is to gain a lot of money you have to do something good in order to sell it... because of that we see many "good" pop songs (I agree some of them are kind of acceptable) but when we listen to a radio hit let's just remember: money created that.
When you do something by heart, what you produce will be good and it will not sell as good as pop music, why? because it's goal wasn't money it was self-expression... etc. hence only a few people will understand your objectives and support you. (What we see in the metal scene)
And... that's it...
