Music as a career?

BTW, checking your profile, you seem more like an emo than a rocker to me.

O.o depends. what is an emo to you?  

[Ferrum Sanctus]

Someone who listens to emo music, whines about unnecessary stuff, thinks his girlfriend is the best in the world, just because she happens to like him etc. etc.  

[Ferrum Sanctus]

Bump.

Also, your picture is the world famous emo guitarist angle.

true emo isnt about whining at all. dont live your life by stereotypes.
and what is emo music? lol, and a self shot is a self shot. theres really not many ways for one to take pics of themselves.

When I was younger (an influenced by much *ahem* music from the '90's) there was nothing I wanted more than to be up on stage singing for a living, but as I grew older and realized many of my other talents(not to mention being put down by bullies left, right and centre) I sort of forgot about that dream and moved onto others, only later was it again realized that I wanted a part in music whether it be as the writer of the great noise we call music or as a performer of some kind in it(whether playing an instrument or singing it). So I wrote songs and I sang alot more than I used to, and depending on who you ask they will either tell you I'm good or bad, frankly my own opinion is somewhat shadowed by all those years of bully-ing crying But it doesn't really matter anymore. But even through all the years that dream I had at five years old never really died or went away for long. So yes, I would definately consider a career in the music industry. heart

I kinda have a career in music but I don't get paid for it unfortunately sad
I'm trying to start a band, but I need to learn guitar more first, otherwise the only thing I got is my voice.

Okay, so what do you think 'true emo' is? For me it just sounds like more whining and incapability of taking care of oneself.

I do not live my life by stereotypes, but find out almost everything by myself, which did lead me to my view of emos.

Emo music (As wikipedia defines it): Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace.

Now, I want to bring up this particular line: where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore".

Didn't you say you listen to emotional hardcore, not emo? Well, as far as I can see they're the same music. Boom, headshot.

Also, don't you have any friends? Besides, most cameras nowadays do have a timer function.

I would like to play for a living but I'll most likely teach on the side for a little extra xd  

[omgyerface]

I would LOVE to have a career in music. It is my passion, not a hobby.  

[Moneysucks]

I'm 15 and I definatly want a career in music.. My friend and I are working on our acoustic guitar skills and trying to put together some songs.. It's harder than it sounds though gonk  

[jump2020206]

yes I have thought about music being my career. In fact I inspire to be a professional musician. I plan to have music as my career but not as a music teacher. I would probably be pretty good at being a teacher but it's not my thing. I am going to perform.

I may not be able to have it as a main job but thats what I'm aiming for. (music as a main job that is) heart 4laugh

My family is very musically inclined, and for at least three generations there is a band history somewhere. I would love to start a career in music, but it is almost impossible to make a living unless you become famous. (in my opinion, at least)

Oh, and about that whole, "ask any rocker it's about sex, drugs," crap. not true. I hate those things. (well, except sex xd ) Rock is just as much expression as any other style. That is a stereotype whether you agree or not. neutral
