The Secret to Success in Music

[@WillyJunior]

bro looks like a male greta thunberg

[@LekkerBlanka]

sheet yoh!

[@G6_SA]

Never change Weaver. Never change.

[@HyperNova137]

"I"m about to show you the secret, BUT FIRST...." FIVE WHOLE MINUTES LATER: "...and now I'm about to reveal my magical 5-step process! BUT FIRST..." ANOTHER FIVE WHOLE MI-- Ya know what? I'm good, fam. You keep your secrets.

[@morecowbell2611]

Sooooo annoying this kind of "content"

[@beatz04]

Typical "coaching" behavior - the only thing missing was the link to a "free" (upsell) course or something. Edit: Wait, he actually *does have* an upsell link ! Not surprised lol

[@serial_sequence2k]

That advice is so disingenuous... There are countless musicians that have never seen any success because the labels weren't able to mold them into something specific they wanted, despite being extremely talented and unique.

[@gravity00x]

While this is a thousand percent the truth that labels will most likely reject anyone that sounds "different" anyways, what he presents is also true. So now instead of having a 0% chance to stand out, you will have A chance. It's definitely not disingenuous.

[@trackaccino5724]

Honestly, if that happens today it's because artists sign really terrible deals with little to no leverage, expecting a modern label to do the work for them (which they won't). In the current landscape if you sign an awful deal that doesn't allow you to be authentic, there is simply no excuse, the tools are there to build an audience without the need of corporate intervention. An artist has to be able to do that, at the very least to give themselves more leverage. Back in the day, it was a different story. So I would disagree, because for it to be disigenuous, you would HAVE to have a corporate record label to have success which just isn't the case.

[@serial_sequence2k]

@@trackaccino5724 Yes it is disingenuous, because the person in the video is saying "do this and you'll see the same success as these artists" which are all creations of the industry that never had any actual skin in the game. I agree, now is a better time than ever to be independent. But honestly this advice doesn't explain anything to anyone who is actually serious about doing such things. The video is clearly engagement farming and using similar tactics to how shallow motivational speakers rope crowds into paying them money (for the real advice).

[@serial_sequence2k]

@@gravity00x OK, so playing in the key of C major is better than smashing my hand against the keyboard. Does that automatically make someone a good musician by playing in key? It's such a shallow interpretation that can be applicable to anyone and everyone that it actually doesn't say anything important to someone who has been a musician for longer than an hour.

[@ricerice245]

what this video failed to say is music is a hobby and you can't make a living from it, marketing and ad campaigns and doing the business aspect is what makes you successful and your product can just happen to be music the same way it could be shoes or candy. all this video does is tell people how to make themselves feel good about their hobby and gives the false hope that if they just make good music like millions of people are then you will be successful in the music business industry

[@fleshtonegolem]

You know who influences our music the most? All the co song writers and producers on the 3 artists he mentions. None of them are true song writers. They have TEAMS. He used horrible examples.

[@MisyeDiVre]

Pop music is a grift. In order for it to sell, we have to pretend that the product is the brainchild of the “artist” even though the credits are readily available. That’s actually part of the allure. Fans of these personae need to exalt them and put them on a pedestal to thoroughly enjoy the “experience”.

[@DaveChips]

12:10 yeah weaver... I felt that 😅😭

[@misanthropistmusic]

9:56 i enjoy grindcore very much, thank you

[@RePeterPod]

This guy is the teal swan of synthfluencers

[@Clovis5119]

As he showed at the beginning, you don't stand out when every candy is a different color. You kinda need a sea of samey artists for the unique ones to really stand out.

Smarties Theory?

[@justineppley1003]

I freakin love you name dropped Immortal Technique. I was literally listening to him again today. Timeless

[@nashmichaeld]

It’s a daytime infomercial.

[@IoOrganism]

This just makes me wanna buy some Smarties, NGL.

[@FrederickBeats]

12:09 Exactly, lol

[@digitaltrash_]

[@RevRyukin7]

Bro. One of thems literally a plant. Their identity is NEPO BABY

[@AbstractCatsMedia]

The point: eat more smarties

Bro was using so much filler words and phrases like he was trying to meet the word count on an assignment or something 😂

Seems like a good place to plug a ska band!

[@kiko8u]

As soon as someone mentions “emotional” i automatically tune out by default.

[@CrimsonOasisEntertainment]

We need some WeaverCore lol

[@dc9662]

This guy's video could have been a short. It seems like he's trying to make his voice so soothing, that users won't mind that he's just dragging his point out. Even the editing style and softness of the picture are making me drowsy.

[@Durkhead]

Im more interested in the production technics used on his voice

[@beatz04]

The voice is to dress up the little generic advice he has as "meaningful". Banalities served as revelations smh

[@baldman5k]

Haha loved this one!

[@iterativeincremental]

holy shit the handwaving

[@LekkerBlanka]

kryptic minds & leon switch blue print

[@bentsound]

In the U.S. Smarties are concave, pastel and non-glossy, these things are convex, and glossy like Skittles!

[@curtisjames67]

Hey Weaver, did you hear we have a new Pres? I know you're excited

[@AbstractCatsMedia]

Busy Works Beats ... only not as busy.

[@jaydeepalmer]

Grind/skacore

[@czxr_8]

I wish there was a way to differentiate ska of Jamaica and then 90s white people ska lol

[@tiffanyanthony]

When did Smarties change packaging/shape/consistency? Bring back the clear roll with the Tums-chalk-texture!

[@Cancel-Flip]

SKAver Beats

[@DCol77]

Step 3 'make funk' hahaha

[@lavenderllamamusic]

i heard it as "make phonk" which is even funnier to me lmao

[@just-groove-it-records]

omg this $h!t*s too funny, glad I wasn't drinking anything would have sprayed me gear 😂

[@talldarkstrangerpr]

You can't fuck with The Specials, The English Beat, and Fishbone.

[@beatz04]

Banalities served as deep revelations smh

[@buckycore]

This dude's voice makes me feel violated.

[@just-groove-it-records]

what if...I can never finish writing that list...guess that is any musicians biggest problem...the list is too damn long and ever growing...ain't nobody got time fo dat!

[@amp4105]

Freudian slip 😂

[@THE_MZA]

I hope you’re not talking about the same ska reggae music evolved from…

[@czxr_8]

Probably not. When white people talk about ska they’re thinking of the Americanized version

[@MrGenophyte]

3rd wave ska is what he's raging about. The 3rd wave traditional ska and rocksteady didn't blow up as much even though it was often darker, Motown influenced, and jazz influenced. Punk ska is the one most people think of when they hear the word ska. Personally I fricken love rocksteady and traditional instrumental ska. Oh and fishbone

[@jessemergly]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/baDCZHmBqbyHoK8 10:38 This was the peak of ska innovation, adding metal. I feel you're really gunna hate this weaver lol

[@joefarrar3917]

lol they way you’re not sure if you get something reminds me of dumb and dumber. Lloyd says “I think I have a, wait, yeah… I got an idea.” lol

[@evieruth01]

🤨🫤😬🤔

[@amp4105]

I dont trust people who talk like this

[@neobrainium1027]

weaver is just JPEGMafia

[@ThatSockmonkey]

Scraping the barrel, eh? Nice.

[@Norm-84]

I’m gonna make Ska 😂

Is this Gretta's brother?

[@heavyion]

Distorted pop is called "industrial"

[@rothzn]

Fakthis

[@glitchunicorn]

The dudes voice lol

[@beatz04]

So basically, this guy's advice on how to stand out is "stand out" and "MAKE MUSIC YOU LOVE". No sh*t, Sherlock. Then, his method to be original is to compile a list of other artists songs, because according to his logic, that's "what defines you as an artist" - he doesn't even seem to be aware of the irony here. The reason the video is so longwinded is the usual one with these type of self proclaimed KZbin experts: He hasn't got anything to say, except generic advice dressed as meaningful.

The secret to success in Comments

[@smugglersunion]

Its so simple in fact it may feel like you're cheating

[@smugglersunion]

Imagine if your comment could be something that everyone can't help but notice

[@smugglersunion]

This weaver guy is sort of saying something good, but he's letting this other guy go back to the smarties too much, imagining the smarties as people, I want to be successful in music, not getting diabetes, and this is weaver guy is taking the longest possible way to get diabetes, which I don't even want, especially from candy calculus.

[@baldman5k]

@@smugglersunion 😂😂😂

[@TeslaDanser]

Who cares. Contrived bollox

[@trollingfortruth5039]

i think people listen to grindcore just to flex on people who like regular music, nobody actually likes that crap it sounds horrible. the drums are quite impressive tho ngl

[@brainbox9219]

Yeah but nah, like I love grindcore but can agree, most of it isn’t really “good”, that’s the point for a lot of those dudes and I just never understood that lol but the stand out bands really make it a legit genre for me, also drums and my favorite part of grind

[@amp4105]

Wrong

[@kitchenspider]

Little too negative for me... link your guide on secrets to musical success. Shitting on other peoples content, well... i already know how to do that.
