Are you a musician who is an easy target in your music scene? You know, the type of musician who is always getting hated on by other musicians in the area. These are the kind of guys who are always obsessed with talking shit about you. Even if they don’t like you… they appear to be following everything you do. Making fun of you. Bitching about how you act online. Talking shit about your musical talent. Blah blah blah, you get the deal here. I’m not the only one who has this kind of problem. Other musicians I know have been an easy target in the scene (not naming names)… being bullied by other musicians and stuff. That’s a HUGE part of how this area doesn’t promote local music positively ’cause of the negativity and bullying that goes on around here.

All this stuff used to bother me but it don’t bother me too much anymore. The trick to dealing with all of this is just one word: IGNORE. That’s right. Ignore it all. Who cares whether or not other musicians around here like you. Just do your own thing. Again: music is here for you. It’s here to please yourself and not others. Be who you wanna be, be yourself, and don’t let other musicians control you.

If there are people I don’t like… I don’t obsess with the same person for years ’cause I have better things to do than that. I just get them out of my life and act like they’re dead to me.

It is what’s best for you. They’re either a little jealous or just trying to get attention off of you. Let them destroy their own reputation and keep making the music. When musicians start talking shit they are mostly musicians who haven’t had much success in music themselves. Think about it, right?

Haters are gonna hate, that’s all there is to it.

You don’t have to listen to any of them. They don’t realize that they are not being professional acting themselves — the more they keep doing what they do. Let ’em be hypocrites.

I don’t listen to negative people anymore. I only focus on the positive, happy and joyful people. Those are the folks who I try to surround myself with. If you don’t want the internet to be full of people hating on you so your name won’t show up in google of negative people targeting you… the best thing to do is ignore it all and don’t fight/argue with people.

Defending yourself won’t do you any good knowing from my own mistakes and experiences. Responding to everything makes things worse. You’ll win by NEVER responding to anything at all. Screw the haters. Just make music ’cause you like it.

Obsessive hatred of other musicians hating me still goes on to this day but I learn to let it go and ignore it all. Just enjoy life, play music and be happy. Don’t pay any attention to people who want to destroy you ’cause that’s all they wanna do… they wanna see you get ruined. They wanna see you fail.
