Does the financial background of an artist really affect your enjoyment of their music?

Yes i only listen to music made by poor african tribes
Same. Actual child soldiers as well. Those niggas have something to say.
the guy from death grips sounds like he went to art school & lived a comfy suburban life
julian sounds like he went to art school & live a comfy suburban life...who the fuck cares what theyre on about
In the big picture, yes, because of the advantages they would have in gaining exposure over an artist from a background of lower means.

There is not some genius band from the time with amazing songs we didn't hear about because they couldn't get exposure. It was 2001 not 1951.
i need an edit of that pic but with the guys hanging out with anime girl only to piss the otakus
Not usually no, but he’s a fucking cunt so I’d hate him if he was poor anyways
Who?
Not until they start singing about being poor down on their luck schlubs with no future
Only when I dont like them. For instance I love Ariel Pink despite him being from a rich family yet shitpost about Black Country New Roads because they are university students and one of thems dad was in an techno band
If it’s under a million I’m not interested. If they had good genes their family would be rich already
How's that working out for you?
Well thank you
Gonna take that as a not well.
Today on mu it’s opposite day
>15 years later and this same thread is still being made about the Strokes
Based
It's a sliding scale, same deal as their politics or general personality.
For example, if Phoebe Bridgers made 9 or 10/10 albums like Varg did I could overlook her Twitter political insanity, caustic personality or dating her way to the top behaviors but since she makes 6/10 music it's easy for me to just discard it, whereas Varg gets a pass for being a malignant narcissist murderer because he made Hvis lysett tar oss.
Most successful musicians and actors got there because their parents paid there way through life. I do photography and play music, but I know I'll never be able to do anything with it, at least not until I'm 40, because trying to turn a hobby into a career is expensive. All the people I used to hang out with are talentless and still trying to make it. There parents will wipe their ass until they're in the dirt.
You're talentless too.
I dont really get the big deal, the issue isn't that some people have a great upbringing, its that others don't. There is no reason to blame the lucky ones because they aren't the ones upholding the system that allows it
Yep. Nobody chooses to be born. We don't choose our parents, or the situation we are brought into against our will. We simply accept it and try to survive and navigate, or the part we play in this independent/shared reality ends, either because we choose it to, or the universe decides to, or someone else decides to. Life is such a funny journey.
>the system
you mean life? nobody is born "equal". everyone is dealt a different hand. you can't legislate that away, nor should you try. stop blaming The System (tm) for your suburban ennui and make something of yourself.
I find it kind of weird that its such a big deal to people in music but no one really cares or speaks up as much about nepotism anywhere else despite it being widespread in every business
No, The Stones were millionaires when they made Exile. Has no effect on my enjoyment of the album at all. It's such a weird obsession. How do the finances of a band have anything to do with sound?
imagine even knowing that information
I'm into music for music, not for catty celeb gossip
not until i inevitably learn about it
No, because I'm not a shallow jackass.
Yeah bc i give more respect if i know that someone is not a rich kid, but almost none is on music like that lol, anyway i love punk (not your crappy pop-punk)
Yeah
No. But most famous artists are nepo babies. Who cares? Poor people think being rich is inherently bad Idgi
Most poor people are incredibly stupid and sheepish and don't have anything of value to contribute artistically
Kind of. It's why I have huge respect for Oasis. A group of working class guys living in the American equivalent of the projects making it big being the biggest band in the 90s. Crazy shit, unfortunately stuff like this will never happen again.
Depends on if their music is any good honestly. Nepo babies like Julian, Taylor, Clairo, and Miley are talented and put in the work once they got their opportunities whether it was handed to them or not. Then you have people like Will Smith's kids, who are dogshit and obviously don't have any passion for what they're doing.
I don't need to know their financial backgrounds, I just hear it through their music and makes me fucking sick. Even if it's just for less than a 0.1% of all artists, music is the last remaining place for TRUTH
>There's no singer who sings to not be heard
>But couplet awaits to be said
>Because couplet is stream from that source
>Where song and folk form a flood
>And spoiled singer, better dare
>To sing some verse, which hurts
And OF COURSE I hate conscious music of all kinds, it's just as bougie as any other trustfund kid fantasy
Not in the least. Art is beholden to aesthetic criteria only.
yes, but not necessarily very much
for me, it's listening to their music first, realizing it's hilariously out of touch not just from the lyrics but also the sound, then make a guesswork. for example, Jacob Collier's music sounds like someone belonging to a family whose parents and grandparents spent their whole career doing music and that's the reality, if he didn't make it into now, he'd just get some comfy job being some orchestra director.
depends on the subject matter and how they project themselves. IDLES larping as working-class heroes with trite lyrics about Tories being cunts (newsflash: they are) is annoying, but I don't get why that same criticism is given to the likes of Black Midi and BCNR, who are the most unapologetically middle-class art school bands there is
Yes, but I wish it didn't. When I found out the Strokes were rich trust fundies, I pretty much stopped listening to their music. Then it became where rock in America became almost solely a rich white past time, while poorer people liked rap. It's retarded.
