Right? I've known some Becky's that were alright but I have also met some real Becky's.

Those are rookie numbers. Install Linux and pump those numbers up.

That's not an unfair portrayal in the southern US.

Beethoven would have loved DAWs and synthesizers. He would have vomited at the thought of a machine plying HIS trade autonomously.

With all of the tools you described the entire creative process is still done by a human musician. Sequencers have to be programmed. VSTs are just instruments and they DAWs have simply replaced expensive studio equipment so poors like me can produce a decent sounding track.

I don't want to see generated images or AI coded video games either.

Fuck the music industry, but fuck AI made music even more. The goddamn robot is supposed to take my factory job and leave me with the time to write songs not the other way around

No, you see the joke is that teachers aren't people.

The fact is, with the world we live in being like it is, why the fuck not smoke? For the chance to live a little further into the distopian hellscape of our impending future? Some reward that is for denying myself something I enjoy.

It's a circle. One color.

I'll give him a listen. I enjoy hearing different points of view.

That's an interesting take. Strikes me as a bit nihilistic, but I'm sure this is the most surface of explanations lacking the depth of concept to really get the idea across. I can't say it jives with me, but I have heard less reasonable notions.
