“I have a personal Twitter for band purposes, but I don't use social media a lot. I fall in a weird age gap. I was on band message boards when I was 16, but I was on the early curve of Facebook. I did it for work when I worked in media, and I did it for the band, but I can't relate to the idea that you live your life online.” I CanIdeasUseAgePurposeFallSocialMediaBandMessagesSocial MediaRelateBoardsOnlineGapsLive Your LifeCurvesAge Gap Author:Lauren Mayberry
“I think so much of our society is geared towards mainstream media and pop culture and so forth. And there's a huge divide between the artist and the fan. And with indie culture that wall is removed. You actually do see the musicians walking around enjoying the show. It's a distinctly different culture and for the 99% of Nirvana fans that caught up with them with Nevermind, my book is gonna give them a whole different take on Kurt [Cobain] and the band.” ThinkingGivingBookDifferentWholeShowsArtistCultureEnjoyFansMediaHugeWallWalkingBandMusicianCaughtPopsOur SocietyDividesMainstreamCaught UpPop CultureDifferent CulturesMainstream MediaCobainNevermind Author:Bruce Pavitt
“It's probably no coincidence with the internet and social media and the word being able to spread beyond the radio, where fans can go and talk and congregate and trade stories and a band could communicate news very quickly and in a worldwide basis. I'm sure that's helped in bringing in this case us to more of the forefront of peoples attention.” StoriesAbleSocialAttentionCasesFansMediaInternetBandNewsBasesTradeRadioCommunicateSocial MediaSpreadCoincidence Author:John Petrucci
“Just think about it, be honest, how many groups have you heard of in the last five or six, seven, eight years that you never heard of playing live? You never heard of them making a record. You never heard of them in anybody else's band, and all of a sudden they're the biggest thing going. That to me, that's to me social media music. I'm not saying it's right or it's wrong but it is what it is.” ThinkingYearsLastsSocialRecordsFiveHeardGroupsHonestMediaBandSixSevenSocial MediaEightBeing HonestIt Is What It Is Author:Joe Louis Walker
