I don't know if that era still exists.

You kind of have to have a little bit of a relationship with people.

You have to like market your music.

Yeah, you have to understand your market a little bit because nobody really wants to follow an artist through their journey anymore either.

Like nobody wants to follow like, because we move so quick, our attention spans are so quick.

No one's like invested in like,

what Kurt Cobain, you know, or somebody like that where you're like, I'll go with Kanye for a while.

People were just like, I'll follow him off a bridge, you know?

Like, I think XXXTentacion might be the last artist that was, he was only 20 when he passed away, but he was like,

he could have been so massive.

Like people were, he was just, he was evolving in such a crazy way and just becoming such a huge artist and just writing these amazing records with no formal training, nobody telling him what to do.

Like there hasn't been artists like him since he passed away.

But that was like the end of that world.

I feel like where people were like, I'll follow him wherever he goes.

I trust, I believe in him.

A lot of artists, we're just waiting.

We're waiting for failure almost every time people put our record out.

No one's been like, whoa, they broke my mind.

But K-pop is the opposite.

They're making it so clean and perfect, the way that the music's created.
