 One of the reasons people aren't connecting with what you're doing musically is you're doing what I call the mirror, which is the minimum expected effort required. All of your favorite artists go beyond the mirror in songwriting, performances, and they're creator of endeavors, which is why you enjoy them. But you are probably doing what you see as passable, AKA the mirror. Here's a real world example of the mirror. If you're making a music video, you may say, ah, I only have to film for one day and then maybe do five hours of editing. But if you go past that, that's often what makes exceptional content. Here's some examples of surpassing the mirror. Okay, go in their classic viral videos where all, cause no other group of awkward white guys was going to learn to do those dance routines to get attention. The whole sad boy rap genre loves to do these really sick videos, all made with drones and high-def cameras, but Echo 2K's video for peroxide took it where the competition wouldn't, a goddamn wind farm in the sea. Guppy and Fraxium, AKA Foodhouse, video for Thoss Moser went further than all the people trying to do the extremely online thing when they took it to a whole never level and went way past the mirror.
