The trick is to always be thinking 300ms ahead.

I'm really getting sick of that bullshit. If you are well liked, people will help promote your shit. If its good, people will help promote your shit. If its good and you are well liked, you are probably Chibi-tech.

Its like people self reflexively be dicks so they can EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES their way to a understanding  why they aren't chip popular, when in reality the different between chip popular and unpopular is probably like 300 downloads. If you see a thread where everyone is praising something that you think is crap, JUST IGNORE IT. You aren't saving the world by ringing the church bell and shining the truth on its mediocrity to the world, you are being a dicktroll and that's all people take away from your criticism.

When a scene is this small, it's built on friendships and if you are an artist with any kind of backbone you will know yourself if you are good and not need to do a nightly werewolf vacillation between ON NO WHY WONT THEY LOVE ME, and THEY REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE MY UNHERALDED GENIUS, I SHALL DESTROY ALL THAT THEY LOVE.

I think you are missing the point if you feel that there is any social reward in being a dick, and no amount of pointing out that occasionally untalented people are propped up by their friends can justify that behavior. All it does is does is drive people away.

I can never tell if you are being serious or not, but I guess now you are definitely being serious. I was just playing devil's advocate but while I agree with you 100%, Subway Sonicbeat still has a point. You make one negative comment about something on this here forum (which has been proven time and time again to *not* represent even a fraction of this scene as a whole) and it's like the village is coming after you with pitchforks and torches. Sure, nobody likes a dick, but if we can't have enough of a backbone to take criticism in stride, then that's pretty lame. Too many times I've gotten the impression that if I get into an argument about something around here, I'm gonna be getting the stink eye at shows for months. Why is that? Can't we argue and disagree and still be friends? Do we always have to agree on everything? I think if someone is being a dick, sure, that's a problem, but if people are being branded as a "dick" just because they have a different opinion, then that's a bigger problem.

tl;dr: heckling someone on stage = dick. saying you don't like moe moe kyunstep on a forum thread = not a dick.

p.s. I love moe moe kyunstep, just using that as an example.
