a mutual posted about needing a social media manager for their growing business that really resonated with me and honestly, me being sick of feeling stuck at these dead end retail and food jobs i jumped at the opportunity to be able to do something a bit more creative for work, something i can sharpen my artistic skills in the digital realm, and connect with other creatives in my community. it’s currently a volunteer position, which i don’t mind at all and i’ve enjoyed having something to do and look forward to working on. but once the business is more established that will change. i don’t have any education in marketing, only my own experience trying to market myself as a music artist. i’m excited about this but sometimes i get a feeling of stockholm syndrome. i’ve been watching youtube videos about branding and things like that, and i want to make sure i do a good job. i genuinely feel like i would be good at this, and even enjoy it a lot. it’s just a bit new to me and out of my comfort zone. does anyone have any similar experience? and is there anything crucial i should know about managing a business social media account? i welcome any advice!

when fans love to say they love her because “melanie is the only artist who actually talks about ‘real/important’ issues.”

i’m so sorry, as someone who used to worship the ground melanie walked on, she is NOT the only artist who has important conversations through music. and honestly, even when she tries to, sometimes it just comes off very surface level and doesn’t really add much to the conversation.

when people say this it just feels like a slap in the face to all artists who have been vulnerable in their art and really poured their hearts and souls out in their music to not only express themselves but to also raise awareness on real world events and tragedies. i guess since i make music myself, it is something im a bit sensitive to especially when i think about how many small independent musicians go unnoticed because they don’t have the same level of fame, money, or support to get their music heard. to me it just seems like, they don’t really have an ear for true, raw, authentic music and lyrics, and they only claim melanie is “the only one who talks about things” because she might have been an early introduction to serious topics (i assume most fans found her during middle school, thats when i did). i get it, some of the music sounds good and she has incredible visuals (lacking as of late but…) it’s easy to kind of fall in love with it in a way. but to claim she’s the only artist that speaks on real issues is such an absurd take, especially considering the lack of depth in her songwriting, especially for Hades, which is absolutely her worst writing yet, and it’s very telling that this is the first time she’s allegedly wrote the entire album on her own, and especially considering that the same person who wrote monopoly man to criticize capitalism, LOVES capitalizing off of her own fans with absurd merch prices and 13 different variants of the same vinyl and selling cheap ass candles separately that melt in the mail. she knows her fandom is obsessive. she sees an opportunity an she takes it, she knows EXACTLY wtf she’s doing do not play with me.

anyways that is my rant, feel free to share some of your fav artists and albums and why you like them!
