Like what is the key difference in making vulnerable work without it coming off like this. What makes it something valuable to others instead of just coming off distasteful..
i haven't drawn in forever but it's a shame that the inclination to mostly comes when i'm going through something emotionally frustrating.
hope the sub doesn't mind me posting art, i usually draw sporadically.
I used prismacolors. I have feelings for him but it's not a reciprocated situation so I drew this before I let him go.

i saw a meme describing how the music taste of kids these days is trash because they get it all from tiktok and algorithms rather than having to go through something like the struggle of trying to impress a hot girl working at a record store by knowing niche artists or whatever.
regarding music, a lot of people had their parents and friends introduce them to what they listen to, or found what they like through other circumstances. I recently had a conversation with a good friend who was raised in Mexico during her childhood and her taste (punk and a wide variety of other genres) was built throughout as a way to cope with injustices happening around her and such.
My parents were never really the kind to have an appreciation for things like that. I was also an autistic shut-in who didn't go out much. The only damn music I grew up having an emotional connection to was The Living Tombstone and whatever was on the radio at the time.
It makes me feel less of an artist/creative because I have an appreciation for so many things visually but I question why I wasn't ever curious enough to explore things like that on my own when I was younger. I am in a stage where I'm discovering new stuff but I'm just a bit embarrassed at how late I am with it. However I know it would be different navigating the media today opposed to how it was before. How do you go about still making it a "special" experience to discover new things? It's certainly a me problem but it feels forced to me just pulling up something on Spotify and sitting through it. It's hard for me to feel present and I wish I could, how do you go about that now? Not just for music but for anything really. I also get intimidated at the idea of being called performative/a poser for trying to get into things I didn't initially know much about before..
I have this other friend who's a skilled musician who told me he doesn't let algorithms impact how he finds things. I was like wow that's so cool.. do you guys do anything similar? how do you go about it lol
