Bingo. Not in the industry. I get what you’re saying and yeah I picked up gigs while slinging guitars and amps but it is not a job in “the business”. And working there they will try to keep you from getting one that would mean you depart them.
Since music biz jobs are often on the road.
Yeah the difference is
MI sales is not “the music industry”
Yet guitar center pretends it is.
Google search was good 20 years ago. It sucks now.
They over capitalized it.
Plus they’re evil af
Pays their employees minimum wage
Harvests their love for music and their skill to sell overpriced low quality gear
A culture of lying and swindling basically.
A horrible little microcosm of late stage capitalism all driven by their minimum wage employees believing the lie that they are “working in the music industry”
A lot of real big companies run scams on their employees. Take Herbalife for example. Or amway. Or guitar center
That’s not a job that’s a scam
This is some perverse shit
I bet it’s fucking awesome.
Some idiot says “this is how things work” (and explains things in a way that aren’t true at all)
And then I’d be like “yeah that’s good enough for me.”
And I’d watch sports and not be worrying all the time.
As it is, I unfortunately see through most bullshit and realize im surrounded by people who don’t.

Because “djdbdbdj fjdjdnd dhhsbdhdjdnd” makes even less sense than reductively explaining that a king or queen is a fascist by definition. They can remove your head if they dislike your opinions.
Monarchism is fascism.
One person making all the decisions is fascism.
Gross. Now I’m thinking about his diapers.
Moist AND restricted.
Dudes got shit in his pants.
The domestic terrorist is in the White House.

Punk rockers are the resistance that’s been standing by at the ready the whole time.
Punk rock attitude, DIY mentality, and general nonconformity are the tools we’ll need to stand up to fascism. They’re also the classic attributes of the “American individual” (not sure why this is no longer in vogue)
Some punk rockers seem like “normies” until they’re radicalizing everyone at your dinner party, reciting lyrics from propagandhi songs as conversation starters.
Love jello love bad religion love a million shitty bands that only produce one or two songs or records too.
It’s the ocean of punk rock I love to swim in.
Knowing there’s millions of folks who think like me all over the world helps keep me sane.
Finding random songs I like by random bands with very few plays is my drug of choice
But punk rock is a phase I’m sure I’ll grow out of it by the time I reach my
