However, comma, I was having a conversation with someone yesterday and we were talking about language and the terminology now of content creator and how really content creator refers to the people that we used to just call artists back in the day, but how the dynamics of those two terms, to me are vastly different

How you are seen, how you are gravitated towards just how strangers like you. And for me, it feels like that kind of burdens the art sometimes. Now, don't get me wrong, I have came across a lot of content creators who make stuff that I love, that I would have never seen. Because now we have a medium where it's free game all around

It's not about anything else. And when people create it for themselves, first and foremost, those are some of the best pieces of art, pieces of music, movies, all that stuff that we love so much because it's so human versus. It's not like this formula that someone put in a computer and was like, boop. Deep boop. So I don't know why I did that. God, we are on one. No, I hear you

It's art. You do what you want and you do what you feel. And Rick Rubin is great on that. His book is amazing because for people who do not subscribe to what is considered to be, quote unquote, the norm, which, I mean, what is normal anyway? It's a great expansion of thought and what being a multi hyphenate creative of looks like in the world. Thank you for tagging in on this

And I realized when I said that, that I'm combining old school Facebook and Myspace, which no longer exists. I think it doesn't exist. I don't even know. But I do recognize that I said that because I was like, oh, wait, you couldn't manipulate all that stuff on Facebook back in the day. You could just. All of our family members weren't on Facebook back then
And so to try to conform it into anything else is to dilute whatever art. Of course, there's lots of discussions around what art is, but whatever it is, doing it for the capitalistic machine, or doing it because it must conform to XYZ criteria, is diluting it. It's no longer self expression, it's no longer commentary on. It's all these other things

And in the beginning, it was great because I was interviewing all of these people and having these really in depth conversations that were proving to me also that I wasn't alone in some of these emotions and these experiences that I've had in this career field. And then there was a switch

And once he explained it that way, I thought to myself, okay, I get it. I get how one might find it offensive to be labeled as a content creator when they are not merely putting out information for the follows. Like subscribers, they're really passionate about the subject and are just using that medium to get the information out there. And so that's where I can see where it leans towards the artist

I'm hoping that as we lean more toward a world where every single aspect is going to have the ability, no matter what profession you're in at this point, to go down this lane of giving more space and voice to others, to just do what they want to do and put it out in the world however they see fit
