    I’m begging you: do not add to the touring discourse with something as heinously naive as “buy merch and wear masks!” Know that it’s much more complicated than that. I want to talk about the issues together and with nuance. Not a great prompt for Twitter but here’s a start.

    Being a DJ is basically just being a librarian, right?

    I wanna live in a world where black artists can make weird shit and not feel pressure to conform to the market to survive. that’s the world I want and I feel like I have a tribe. let’s grow it. challenge to people in power: go out on a limb and support more freaky shit!

    we need librarians, we need historians, we need critics, we need nuanced thinkers, we need lots of versions of all of these professions to reflect a diversity of opinions based on well-researched facts. i’m scared for a future (+present moment) ruled by algorithms and propaganda.

    People sometimes praise mainstream pop to virtue signal open-mindedness, and anti-snobbery, often in a condescending attempt to use irony to make their boring taste seem fun/unpredictable, somehow forgetting they’re pandering to capitalism not some fantasy of righteous populism

    At the end of the day, what I’m realizing is that being an artist is just being a small business. Under capitalism businesses are expected and encouraged to behave in predatory and selfish ways to survive. The music industry is no different. Let’s believe in an alternative tho!

    No music exists in a vacuum, even if you made it in one. Being compared to other artists isn’t default lazy or negative, unless you inherently dislike the idea of your fans having diverse music taste or you dislike being in conversation with other artists, both a shame.

    Unsurprisingly, the white men quote tweeting have missed the point entirely. Real quick—women/people of color can’t just vibe on the couch without a tangible skill (or without looking a certain way) and expect to ascend in the industry. Not shading Rick. Let’s just be real here.
