I think Chad is a whiny little bitch musician with many negative thoughts.

So Backseat Goodbye’s Chad Sugg just posted a blog about today’s music industry. And I kind of just wanted to say…

Fuck off, Chad. Seriously, you need to stfu about how other bands market themselves. It’s really none of your business and you really don’t need to care.

Those other bands are only “wasting your time” because you’re letting them. You’re letting yourself care about something that has nothing to do with you personally at all.

Have you even considered that these bands are struggling to create music that you oh-so-don’t-believe they’re capable of making? That posting pictures is a way to make up for the fact that they have no new music?

Chad, please.

And I’m sure as hell that those bands out there don’t want to hear your shit. I don’t give a fuck if you’ve been in this industry for 5 years, I wouldn’t give a fuck it was 10 years.

Until you’re famous, and exceedingly successful,

Take your own fucking advice, and “let the music you make speak for itself.”

I’ll just say this, I feel like not enough people speak openly about their feelings about the industry. I know at least three of my closest artist friends that completely agree about what I posted, however, they’re much smarter than me by actually not posting about it. I can definitely understand how I may seem “whiney” to you and many others, but I’m really not trying to simply bitch about the situations I bring up. If you really look, I present the problem from many sides, and make sure it’s known that I’m not trying to point specific artists out.

I also pointed out that I understand it’s all of part of different artists’ approach to their own career, and that’s totally fine… I just don’t agree with it, because I can speak from the tiniest opinion of being the kid that started out with literally nothing other than a guitar and a laptop. So, I know that it is not absolutely necessary for kids to post constant photos to promote their music.

All in all, I feel bad that you think I’m constantly being whiney… I’m literally just presenting my own opinion on my own blog… And I really do try to come at every instance with a level-headed thinking about it. Granted, your post above is your own opinion on your own blog, so I definitely respect it… However, you pointed me out by name, so I simply wanted to respond to at least try and make it clear that I’m not trying to constantly whine about things.
