Why do you say?

Frances 07-26-2007 08:51 PM

I'm not sure there's an answer to that. But I'm pretty sure it's not ethnicity.

As far as target markets go, I think ethnicity is extremely important. If you're to be successful as a musician it really helps to be part of the majority ethnic group because the majority of people DO tend to favour music from their own ethnic group.

Do you mean someone who successfully creates art or one who creates art that has success?

joyboyo53 07-27-2007 07:58 AM

yo guy, you left out technical skill and natural talent.... both are pretty important.

creativity/originality rules though.

I checked ethnicity and creativity.




everything is racial.

Pure talent automatically makes music bearable.

Bull****.

MHDTV 07-27-2007 06:55 PM

As long as the instrumentals are good...I'm not saying it's all you need, but it's a start.

Talent in some form is important, even in small doses.

CAPTAIN CAVEMAN 07-27-2007 10:21 PM

I'm not saying it isn't. But having a lot of talent does not "automatically make something bearable".

You're not fond of musically degenerate wankfests?

CAPTAIN CAVEMAN 07-28-2007 04:50 PM

I suppose not.

boo boo 07-29-2007 01:01 AM

Well duh. But I think bands with miminal talent who make lousy music are considerably worse than those with a lot of talent who make lousy music.

I won't give examples, but maybe you can get an idea of what I mean.
