People suck at supporting bands & musicians around here, and no, this is NOT me being jealous that they support other bands more than my music. I don’t care if other people don’t support me or not. I’m just going by how fans support local music in facebook. The way they do it is horrible, in my opinion. Again, this is not a jealousy kind of thing, just me being real.

The trouble is, that fans would almost be positive and happy at almost everything that the band does in their career. Whether you disagree with what the band does in their career, fans would support them no matter what they do. It doesn’t matter if the band is about to play some shit hole venue you don’t like or they’re about to do another stupid radio contest, fans would go along with everything they do. I understand fans want to see their favorite local band move forward and succeed, but how is being positive and happy happy joy joy all the time going to help make them succeed? Where is the honesty? We need more people being real about things.

Music fans can also be pretty childish and crazy, at times too. We need more fans supporting all local music more and not just them supporting the music that they like. There is also too much drama and soap opera with them. If regular music fans would understand how to support local music better, we could have a better music scene. It’s just that a lot of them don’t understand how music works. They’re not really musicians, that’s why they are what they are.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not bashing fans, I’m just bashing their terrible communicating skills of how they’re supporting them.

Some of them can support music the smart and intelligent way, we just need more people like that. That’s what I’m trying to say in this post.
