[ Closed ] Many chipmusicians have become conceited in their old age? (Page 4 of 4)

Hey there little chiller, I'm 32 years old. And I still make chiptunes. All you young whipper snappers ain't got nothin'!...

LOL Just kidding!

Actually, every-time I go on SoundCloud, some artist out there ends up humbling me with their superior skills. Sometimes I lack confidence, other times, I don't care, and just simply enjoy bringing to life the music that's in my head.

I always try to acknowledge other people's strengths, while also giving them constructive advice on how they can get better (if necessary). I am a Christian though, so that contributes to me striving to be more humble in my approach to music and people... although, I still have a long way to go, and much self to die to.

[Romans 12:3 - For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one.]

I believe this website is an outlet for lots of talented chiptune artists... many with skill that far surpasses my own in terms of music and motivation.

I will clarify, that was a sarcastic comment, I'm definitely not anywhere near the older age of the scene, but I'm also not the youngest, and I don't think I'm conceited. I thought I should also add that I am one of those people who dances around on stage and enjoy my music a lot, and personally, I don't really care what other people think of my music when I play, but I don't believe that people have to enjoy my music, and I don't mind if they don't. Also, someone can enjoy their own music without thinking it's good. I enjoy my music but I listen to other artists who blow my mind and accept that I'm nowhere near that level, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy. Everyone has to enjoy their own music, otherwise they wouldn't be able to know what sounds good and what doesn't. If you don't enjoy your music, what's the point? I also dance around a lot and hype things up because if I'm dancing like a fool, others are more inclined to join in.

That said, I am always open to criticism and other peoples thoughts. I may not necessarily take all of them on board, as everything is personal taste, but I will listen. Also, if asked I will give constructive criticism, but again, specify that it's all personal taste, and just suggest things that could work well with their idea, and never suggest anything that would take away from their own ideas.

Anyway... </2cents>

Hi JaffaCakeMexica,

Actually, that sounds pretty cool. I like this song you linked. So smooth, jazzy, and modern. Thank you!

Although, I'm not sure if I'm quite good enough to quickly make an instrumental cover right now. But, I will put it in my to do list for the future.

Thanks again,
See ya around!

I thought that the way it works is that you think the world owes you a living when you're younger and then when you're older you chill out and you're happy just being yourself.

there's just a few users that are the source of this sort of stuff tbh but they are very vocal
