Neopoli 137 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Dungeon: Stuck not releasing music for extended periods of time because of your label(This happens more often than people realize), only time you're allowed to release music is when the label feels it will be a major success or Creative freedom: Able to create music without label interference, with the chance of no one listening to it. It could flop, it could top charts, but it's your work instead. It could also mean the end of your career, it's just a major gamble in a nutshell.

HiatusX 4,135 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Depends on if I have enough money to live on tbf. I prefer creative freedom but if I'm not that rich then I would rather make sure I can build up my bank account so I can be more independent / be able to live comfortably in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mami3chan 7,210 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 releasing music without a label is extremely expensive and it's mostly charity work rather than a real job, the majority of people i know have a secondary main job which is their main source for earning a living,. not sure about pop or hiphop but the people i know told me that their band equipments and stage setup is so expensive that the amount they earn from the music they sell can't make up for it,. which was the reason why i declined the offer to join their band,.

It really sucks how much the music industry can get away with and people are just fine with taking advantage of especially young people. Are they doing better now?

Take my heart and my money 146 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The reason why people go to companies, even at the risk of a dungeon, is because they want the help. Even 1% of help from any company is better than what you can do alone. So I would chose the dungeon cause at least there I'd get a chance to fight. While with creative freedom even my best work would flop when someone with a bigger fandom and more mediaplay would come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junmyeonsnoodle 1,074 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I mean, honestly most of us choose careers that don't allow much creativity and don't have guarantees of advancement (you could stay stuck in middle management, just because it's secure). So at the end of the day I think if people were being honest they'd probably choose the dungeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
