Thank you,Serj. This has inspired me to abandon all my projects and give up completely - and I've never felt more fulfilled. Now, there's only one last step left❤❤☠️
There are still plenty of great bands but pretty much anything mainstream these days sucks. It's not todays music that's bad it's the music industry ruining it for everybody
Truly inspiring words, Serj was certainly ahead of his time with his vast wisdom, I’m very glad he is passing on this piece of knowledge to the next generation of artists. Truly inspiring stuff 😊
That's actually really good advice. Yet, also reveals hints of selfishness and jealousy. On the one hand he's admitting being an artist sucks. But also is probably sick and tired of all the wannabes stealing the spotlight.
I read the comments and 'take your art to the next level' stuff does makes sense. On Instagram and pinterest though, I realized that a lot of people were offended by what he said. I think, if you will get offended and upset by something as simple as this(which was intended to be a joke,) you can't be an artist. That's it, nothing more, nothing less. *You cannot be an artist.* See, if you can't handle hearing this from another artist as a joke, you will not be able to handle the worse. The audience won't be joking, and you won't be able to handle it. If a 'kill yourself' comment makes you feel all bad and drive you to giving up, or actually make you consider the comment, you will not be an artist. Nobody is nice, and everbody will be hated by someone somewhere. If kill yourself is too extreme for you, give up. And lord, I'm so sick of people saying 'don't let your fears control you' you know what? do let your fears control you and give up. It's better than sobbing every two seconds because 15 year old Daniel from LA didn't like the way you played and called you names.
Nun but facts fr. A great example is Macklemore I don’t know if you know him or not. He was hated as a white rapper and when he started getting more versatile with hip hop he got even more hate. Such as death threats, hate. He couldn’t handle the hate so he quit. Fell off the side of the planet. Nobody’s heard from him in like 8 years. Last time I saw him was in a school presentation talking about addiction and such. I wasn’t much of a fan but I was definitely not a hater.
That is the best advice ever! X What he means is not yourself as a being, he means everything you’ve ever consumed as a prospective artist! Dave Brubeck said.. “travel the world; but keep you ears open” And he was definitely onto something… And that’s how he created the masterpiece called “Take Five” - (The Dave Brubeck band)! Musicians! Keep going!
This reminds me of an interview I read with Will Scheff from Okkervil River. He was asked what advice he’d give anyone wanting to become a professional musician, and he replied: “Don’t!”
It's very simple, actually. You see, millions of individuals Google "soad rule 34" and "Jerma rule 34" everyday. By tagging my posts as such, I am stealing some of that web traffic.
Google: stop it. Get some help!

I’m feeling this tbh. Being an artist in this day and age is HARD
Top notch advice thanks!
this advice is so touching! spread the word 🙌
tested it out, great advice you should totally do it
Great to hear!
I love this guy ❤ with this exemplary
He was obviously kidding. This was the final year that anyone could take a joke before everyone became 100% asshurt.
The final year? I think the final year was in 2008 when phones came out lmao
Well iPhones at least
where did you see someone offended? llterally everyone is laughing 😅😅
@@achuparpichulamaracoql read the comment again and actually understand
Na he was being genuine
thank you so much for this advice serj! me and my band just went 735 times platinum because of your wisdom.
After hearing today's music, I have to agree.
There are still plenty of great bands but pretty much anything mainstream these days sucks. It's not todays music that's bad it's the music industry ruining it for everybody
You’re focusing on what’s popular. If something is popular assume it’s awful. That’s when you find good shit.
Lmfao just say u don’t like music
This is a man who's been through the ringer with the industry. Solid advice 23 years ago.
This is one of the best prices of advice.
Love him !
First time watching this and didnt expect that good advice
He looked so pleased😂😂
Thank you Serj!!!
Sound advice. Universally applicable in almost every situation
i love soad sm
Considering trying that
His gentle smile right after LMFAO I can't, this man cracks me up
Remove the competition 🔥🔥🔥
When the whole "practice what you preach" comes to mind.
He is not young...
So inspirational
Mind blowing 🤯

Hotline workers when their shift is over:
ah yes “soadrule34” and “jermarule34”
well arent u one to talk, "elonmuskyaoi"
mega output of creattive work will get you there.
before you know it.
That is the best advice ever! X
What he means is not yourself as a being, he means everything you’ve ever consumed as a prospective artist!
Dave Brubeck said.. “travel the world; but keep you ears open”

Musicians!
Keep going!

Be yourself and choose liberty is very dangerous
This reminds me of an interview I read with Will Scheff from Okkervil River. He was asked what advice he’d give anyone wanting to become a professional musician, and he replied: “Don’t!”
I LOVE THIS GUY
Fair enough
As a dead body I can tell you this worked perfectly.
Ouch! I’m a young drummer looking to start a Nu Metal band called Cryoseism, ouch, Serj, seriously?!
He despises journalists
Damn.
