Fun Stuff > BAND
Bands not allowed time to mature. Sort of.

I think what Gaz is saying is that even if you continue to make amazing music, if awesome things don't reach people's ears and start influencing them, you're not really gonna have much to show for your efforts, whatever you're aiming for. Every musician writes in order to satisfy themselves in some way. It might be just personal enjoyment of the writing process or the performing. It might, of course, be money. It might be a game to see how much music you can write that is not only satisfying for you, but also for a massive group of people.
Whatever way you slice the above options, massive amounts of exposure is the best strategy, and I think that's what Gaz is getting at.

if your music is truly awesome, it will eventually get heard.

Unless your goal is, you know. Making awesome music.

Dude Jens let's be serious here. If you are making music with the intent of it being heard (as performing bands typically do!), there has to be some reason you want people to hear it. You also have to have a reason to think it's awesome. Is it awesome because you like it? Or because your fans like it and are having a good time, and/or giving you money because of it?

Jesus Christ guys, I can accept that maybe this thread is a tad redundant in the internet age, but pull your heads out of your asses. Bully for you if your main goal with making music is that... you listen to your own music. But some of us want other people to hear it too.

Yeah, that's kinda... bullshit, really. On several levels.
