Randomly watching Australian idol has made me remember why I hate those kind of music shows and how cynical and depressed they made me back in my teen years and how they still make me feel this way now
Shows like that don't fucking care about talent these days they only care about who is presentable attractive and marketable
Fuck that shit
And fuck dumbasses who think it would be a good idea for someone like me to be on those shows
Lmao no
Especially not now with me being trans masc
I'm happy just doing the album I did and having it on bandcamp or sound cloud and hopefully other streaming stuff soon
I don't wanna be big or famous
I just wanna do what I enjoy in my own bubble and then live my life in peace
I will admit there was a time i did like Australian Idol when it first came on especially the early OG 2003 final 12
But even back then
When people like Kelly got voted off early who was one of my faves as a kid I knew the kind of stuff I liked like rock music and stuff wasn't what idol was looking for
It was more pop presented
Which is why Guy Sebastian won over Shannon Noll
Both who are still talented artists but even then
The cynicism especially got worse for me about those shows when I noticed the girls going gaga over this guy in x factor
Not cause he was a good singer but cause "omg he's so hot" and it really made realise people don't care for talent they care for how "hot" someone is
And it's why i got so sick of mainstream music back when I was lad and moved to triple j and indie stuff during my hipster phase
Not gonna lie I miss the 2010s and early 2000s sometimes and the music from the indie era back then
Like this song for an example
Good fucking shit
Anyway just wanted to make my old man rant
Later my dudes
