ok thread over we did it guys

>tfw parents forced me into piano lessons at age 6 and then drum lessons at 12 and i'm pretty fucking good at both now and it makes producing on Ableton a total breeze.

just get to it OP. Not everyone was as lucky as me but that doesn't mean I didn't put in the work like everyone else to get good. I just got to start at an early age.

My parents didn't force me to do anything. Didn't force me to take lessons for an instrument. Didn't force me to play sports. They just let me waste away 100% of my free time on video games and the internet and never stopped me or made me do anything else.

Fucking hell, my parents didn't even introduce me to any music even just to listen to. They never played records around the house. They never told me "hey son, listen to this". Nothing. I had to discover music myself at 17, at which point I fell in love, but it was already too late.

You're not too old. You're probably just depressed and don't have the willpower. I understand where you're coming from because I had a similar mindset but you just have to rise above it. If you love music you'll stick with it even in your shitty beginner stage where you're clumsy as fuck. Maybe you'll never become an amazing virtuoso but you can learn how to competently play and instrument and write music on it. Please listen to me. You're ignoring everyone in this thread saying you can do it because you don't want to hear it, but you can. I was 21 years old when I started learning how to play guitar and now I'm at an intermediate/high-intermediate level 5 years later. I can play any song I want to learn and I've written decent music and played in local bands to middling success. I've played at a medium sized music festival to a few hundred people. If you have a real passion you can do it. Be the change you want to see.

i fuckin hate OP, death is not even worth for you
I hope you live until 95yo

more like TOO LAZY, god damn invest time you gobsmacker

Ryo Fukui, Leonard Cohen etc. You're never too old to be passionate about anything. Start today, not tomorrow.

I try not to be as defeatist as you but yeah iktf. When I mention something about it, they say shit like 'you didn't show any interest!'. Like no shit, I was 7 years old. You have to guide or even force your kid into things if you want them to be successful, they don't just figure it out on their own.

Correct

We are brothers in arms. I hate to shift the blame all on my parents but I feel like part of the reason I am an unemployed 22 year old man with a useless degree that still lives at home is because i was coddled all my life and let my formative years be wasted on mindless entertainment.

Never did any clubs, never did any sports, literally just went to school and went back home to waste time until the next morning, a behavior I maintained even during college. I have zero passions, zero hobbies I can turn into careers and am stuck with the cruel reality that I'll probably end up working minimum wage retail jobs until I drop dead.

more like too much of a whiny faggot to do anything but shitpost

Our parents all had strict parents, so of course they rebelled and decided that hands-off parenting was the best solution, all because their parents didn't let them watch TV for 6 hours a night and made them join Scouts or baseball or something

>i just want to make art that people want to listen to.
You create things that YOU like. If you are creating anything for anybody but yourself then you are a fraud.

>not playing because you think your chances of being a famous rockstar went down
if that's why then good you shouldn't have ever started. otherwise, just play as a hobbyist it's fun and there's nothing wrong with that

So fucking true. I wish I had parents that kicked me out of the house when i turned 18, or forced me to pay for college by myself or even just made me earn the money to buy a new video game.

I honestly faced little to no challenges growing up, fuck, I didn't even learn to drive until I was halfway through college because my parents were fine with driving me wherever I had to go and didn't want to force me to get my license.

The second you realise your parents went wrong is the second that every subsequent action in your life is on you.

Imagine being in your sixties having spent the previous forty years blaming your parents for how you didn't do anything with your lives.

Yeah I think we're all in the stage of trying to unfuck our shit up right now. But when you look around at your peers, the differences between those with active and dismissive parents is obvious.

I'm basically just accepting that my birth wasn't this big planned thing with expectations for me and such. My parents fucked, spat me out and just went on with the flow of their lives.

How old are you? If under 25 I'm going to literally hunt you down so I can punch you in the face.

>when you look around at your peers
This isn't going to help. Worry about improving your own shit. Be stronger/healthier/more skilful than who you were yesterday and look forward to improving again tomorrow. After a while, you're not going to give a shit about how well your peers are doing. You might even start surpassing many of the complacent ones in a matter of years or even months, but who gives a shit anyway?

Are there ANY famous musicians who didn't start when they were kids? I'm only 20 and I still sometimes fucking feel like I'm starting too late and have already missed my chance.
