Lol, & they prly believe that BS too..
They've done studies that show that peoples attitudes can actually get into your head... and not just the "old saying" way. Like if you listen to a lot of negativity and you think you are blocking most of it out... they said that part of your brain lets some of the ish creep in, lol.
It was something like this... (so don't even read negative threads or you're setting yourself up)
I don't know if this was it exactly but it said that even if somebody has a bad attitude and they don't say anything to you at all... your brain can sense this and will put you into a defensive mode. Even if it's not like a fight or flight defensive mode.
Stay away from negativity (ESPECIALLY my posts... lol, I keeps it rizzilll ... according to my thoughts at the very moment, normally I change my mind but don't give a damn about changing what I wrote)
Osgood and Tannenbaum's Congruity Theory
One nice feature of
Osgood and Tannenbaum’s (1955) Congruity Theory is that it is explicitly oriented to communication and persuasion. Their refinement of Heider treated the Other person (O) as a message Source. The attitude Object is a Concept, and the P in Heider’s balance theory is essentially the audience. They quantified two of the three relationships in Heider’s triad: the degree of liking of the audience for the Source (PO in Heider’s triad) and the audience’s attitude toward the Concept (PX in Heider’s theory). Both of these relationships were represented by a number (1-7) as well as a direction (plus or minus). Thus, Congruity Theory concerns situations in which a Source makes an assertion about a Concept, and the audience has attitudes toward the Source and the Concept. The only relationship that remains the same is that the assertion of the Source about the Concept is either positive (associative) or negative (disassociative).
This theory holds that incongruity (like imbalance) is unpleasant and motivates audiences to change their attitudes.
A second improvement is that Congruity Theory offers a formula for predicting the direction and amount of attitude change (those who are interested in the details of the formula should consult the reading list).
The main point here is that Congruity Theory proposes a formula that predicts the amount and direction of attitude change based on the audience’s attitude toward the Source and the audience’s attitude toward the Concept.

i aint mean to start a whole anti-industry movement with a post
i just meant to give a perspective of somebody who is achieving the goals that some people set, and warning them before they get too wrapped up into it, so they can see other options.
like i said, i aint try to stop nobody from doing nothing, just a side that nobody will tell you honestly
Oh, you one of the realest to ever swoop through for these posts since you've been back. Most people are going to take the "I know you wish you was me!" approach.
You probably helped more people than you hurt. Since a lot of us don't have the credentials... we can't say ish about ish and have somebody use their common sense.
I mean if all you hear are complains coming from within the industry about record sales, 360 deals, no promo, etc... I wonder what part of common sense tells a person "I'mma change the game though!"... when their music is not messing with Justice League and their only business savvy is "I'll sue if they get over on me...". Have they heard of all the tax problems or have seen the broke rappers from yesteryear... you don't hear about the producers, lol - they don't even get that luxury.
Uh Oh... I'm being pessimistic. Scratch all of that.
One thing I will say though.... somebody is going to get that music money...
... and with the way technology is advancing, no one should quit just yet, a whole new industry could pop up out of the blue and they might need "beats"... It'll be some internet only channel or some ish or like internet cable with a thousand channels and shows run by independent directors or some ish... everybody that quit... will be ass-ted out.
