Dissent is true patriotism. Those who strive for a better world instead of more of the same are the only ones who prove their values, instead of just perform them.

Here's a video I made for my song Welcome to the Boring Dystopia. Whether you're blasting fireworks or blasting digital avatars, make sure to blast this too.

Tell the world how you really feel about Capitalism.

If you hand draw a generated image, is it still stealing?

If training ai is theft, but human training on art isn't. Where does human training on ai art land? Is it stealing? Is it practice? If its stealing, why is it the artist who is stealing and not the corporation? If they posted it online, why the hate for them and not the business who made the decision?

To me, MHA is an inspiring journey that circles around the same theme of Hope through Action. The heroes are conscious actors in a world of spectators who have all learned to place their fragile hope in one source. Then that source begins to break and those remaining are faced with the same hopelessness before their symbol.

They don't act because of hope for a better world. They act because Someone Had To. This theme has been on display from the first episode and spiderwebbed through the series up to the last episodes where the whole final fight was on that level with every hero fighting the greater hopelessness they had no chance of winning against. But they had to act. All of them. Because someone had to.

I think this is the reason why the series makes so many people cry and find it difficult to tell you exactly why. The source of crying isn't happiness or relief. Often times, the tears come at the moment of pushing through collapse and defeat when You Say Run starts to play. Our real world is almost built on top of hopelessness as a foundation and many people believe change isn't possible so when they see someone act against forces they deem unjust with impossible odds, it hits in a special dried up spot a lot of them have learned to ignored. Our world feels like one where All For One has won.

So I want to give you the message. Here, in real life. The real thesis behind a show about a bunch of kids with superpowers.

You, too, can be a hero.

Every single one of you.
Every day.

Simply by choosing action over spectating.
Simply because Someone Has To
Someone has to be the hero
Someone has to help the heroes when they need help.
We can't do this alone.
Because MHA was never about the power of Hope and Friendship.
It was about the power of You.
All of you.
Because it's your turn.

Song is bad ass. Based on my own instinct and the scene from My Hero Academia (IYKYK). Worked really hard on the song's video and my wife keeps saying it makes her cry every time she watches it. Wanted to share and get some opinions from others. Let me know how you like the slideshow storytelling or if it's not working for you.

We all want to share our own songs with the world but I would like to challenge everyone to share a song from someone else. We all have at least one song from another user that we like.

Let's hear them. No alt account cheating.

Genuine question, not a promo post. Not linking anything. If there's actual interest, I'll drop it in the comments.

I make industrial/symphonic hard rock under the name Hopeforge. The songs are about societal exhaustion, grief, alienation, labor, hypervigilance, mental health and the work of trying to build something better anyway. Mechanically driven, cinematic, and often left-coded even when the songs are personal.

I use AI as a production tool, not a writing tool. The lyrics, concepts, and creative direction are mine. I'm not typing "write a rock song about capitalism" and walking away. I write the words, direct the arrangement, and decide the what/why/how of the songs creation. The AI works more like an instrument or orchestra.

I get why "AI music" is an instant turn-off for a lot of people, and honestly a lot of that reaction is earned. Most of what gets called AI music is low-effort garbage that treats attention as an easy button to replace meaning. I'm asking because I don't know if the reaction here is about the tool itself or about the laziness usually attached to it. Those aren't the same thing. I'm putting real effort into using the tool to create something real. Something that can carry meaning and emotion through the machine while fighting it from within.

So: is there room for AI-assisted music if the writing is genuinely human and the politics are genuinely felt? Or is the method disqualifying no matter what's in it?

And the harder question: at what point, if ever, does AI-involved music become "real" art to you? Is it about authorship, labor, originality, something else? I'd rather hear the actual line people draw than guess at it.

Vampire lore states that vampires cannot enter unless invited. What happens when that access is revoked without their knowledge?

I want to hear your golden songs. The ones that came out perfect on the first try or the ones that felt like it was all created as one cohesive piece, like you just unearth something that already existed and was just waiting to be found.

Check out the video, tell me what you think. Do you like it? Should I stop with the story being told through still images or just leave a single image? Or do you think I should just give up and leave my music as a personal project that never sees the light of day?

Capitalism demands the most profit for the least cost, therefore the people bear the cost of data centers. Their water and electricity get used up to make a business money, their own lives be damned with no choice in the matter. Their jobs automated away (poorly) because Capitalism demands the lowest labor cost possible to increase profits.

Capitalism demands artists create art for a living, not for the sake of art itself. Your feelings made form should not be a commodity for sale. You should only be forced to create art for someone else as a personal gift, not a commission. People shouldn't have to sell their soul to survive and that's where ai is the most threatening. It threatens the people and only the people. CEOs dont give a fk about us. Businesses see us as temporary slave labor that only serve to be replaced once we've worn out.

Capitalism demands that you suffer so the rich can get richer. Focus on the real problem, not the tool being used against you. A tool, I might remind, that can just as easily be used against them as they use it against us.

As an experiment, I've been designing an 'anchor' tag to help guide Suno to the sound profile I want to use consistently. It's worked out pretty well and over those few dozen I've had a few that were able to be produced with just the custom tag on it's own. My latest album is an experiment to see if I could do a whole concept with just the custom tag and it worked out pretty well. It was a struggle and I learned a lot more about how to write better Header Directions but all in all, I think it was a success.

PSA: When I originally posted about this, many were confused by what I meant by custom tag. I used an acronym of my username and put it at the end of the style/genre tags when creating a custom song with my own lyrics. Not only was this grouping my songs, but I started it hoping I could train Suno.
