as an independent artist I just wanna add: the best thing you can do to support artists and bands is to buy directly / on bandcamp. spotify pays shit to artists, you need millions of listeners to get any meaningful amount of cash

of course that isn’t a sustainable option if you listen to a lot of different music. so piracy is an option that I wouldn’t mind. hell, if you like my stuff and just write to me I’ll send you mp3s for free

    Don't forget to tell them to go to the shows!!

    Musicians are real people who very often hold live performances in high-population locations, you can see them directly with your eyeballs, hear them directly with your hearholes, and physically hand them actual cash with your flesh and blood hands!

    Edit - To the people complaining about ticket company charges: You need to get into your local music scene and the +95% of bands out there who aren't big enough to play venues that have ticket company contracts. There is a world of music out there completely free of that system and you're neglecting it.
