the music industry would be empty without substance abuse and toxic relationships tbh

yeah cool, let's just normalize debilitating addiction and toxic behavior because we're really gonna miss out on some sick beats if we prioritize

that's a pretty messed up take. the music industry has always been about creativity and talent, not drama. maybe check your biases there.

are you actually saying those experiences are necessary for inspiration?

That's true, but it's also a damning indictment of the industry's priorities - in other words, if it's really impossible for artists to thrive without demons or drama, maybe the real problem lies with the system itself, not the people in it.

does that mean we should be romanticizing it instead of acknowledging the damage it causes?
