I agree with Ben saying “I respect anyone who is ahead of their time and has the disregard for what is or isn’t popular and just makes the music that they want to make in the name of art and not money.” However, I disagree when Ben says “I find it interesting that Kraftwerk faded back into the shadows once their style of music finally started to become popular. That is the trait of a true artist in my opinion.” In response to that, to veer away from a sound that you created for the simple fact that it has become popular is just plain stubborn. Who cares if now all of the sudden your music has become popular. That’s a good thing. That means you created a sound that made an impact on people. As long as you’re creating music that makes you happy, what does it matter if at one point it becomes popular to the masses? “Trying” to be different is just as trendy as trends themselves.
