Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

That's tough, comrade. Lacking recognition in those "ahead" in certain metrics can certainly be crushing, regardless of field. It's something we can all relate to. However, I think having a solid foundation in yourself, and telling the world that you made it, can often be satisfying in its own way. You've stuck with a project for 10 years, that's longer than I've been able to stick with anything. It's incredibly impressive, and frankly awe-inspiring. The recognition may not come from your peers, but know that you've got at least 2 people here that think you're cool as fuck!
Appreciate that comrade. It just feels crushing sometimes that none of this has turned out how I imagined. Didn't even want to hit it big or anything, just recognition from a local band.
Yea, I know that must be frustrating.
