not on Yea Forums, thats for sure

Spotify and youtube i guess?

all you can do is discreetly shill, good luck not getting caught. People think you're bad if you self advertise for whatever reason

You cant anymore
You can throw something into the void of YouTube, Soundcloud or Bandcamp but nobody will care
Bar scenes dont exist anymore cause the internet
Youre fucked

Become a tranny and post on Yea Forums

It is virtually impossible to get discovered online because there is infinite competition. The odds are like sub 1%

i feel like this is more reason to just throw your shit out there. you got nothing to lose.

unless you're actually good. which shillers rarely are

give out some CDs on the street

You have to be friends with the right people. Then the quality of your actual music is secondary to the amount of cultural capital you hold. See: Oneohtrix Point Never, SOPHIE, Arca, James Ferarro, the list goes on and on

>sub 1%
they were always sub 1%. If there was a 1% chance of you making it big (1 in 100 projects will get big), you're pretty much guaranteed. 1% is fucking huge.

But you waste time making the music if literally nobody is gonna listen

Maybe you should just stop making music. It doesn't sound like you enjoy it.

If you want to build a following people need to fuckin listen
If nobody is listening whats the point?

The joy of creation should be enough.

What's the point in making music for other people? What are you looking for? Praise and attention? Respect? There are plenty of other things you can do to get those things. Music aint for you.

meme raps or cover songs

This, play any famous song in a weird fashion (or have some discapacity) and youll be set for fame, or atleast 3 minute fame

a FOLLOWING needs listeners
Making music for the fuck of it is cool but if you explicitly want an audience people need to be listening in the first place

What about using it to make other people feel better?

Your local venue. Don't let any dipshit tell you the scene is dead, it lives so long as you breathe.

Well odds are you wont get a following as a musician. Try being an outlandish character on social media, then drop an album.

Or become a guru, and start a cult.

>Bar scenes dont exist anymore cause the internet
That's false.

This is true. And it's not just bars, you can also play at work functions, weddings, and sports clubs.

Sounds about right.

You need to network with other bands and artists, as well as small venues and event organizers. If you haven't played in front of a small audience in some guys garage yet, you're doing it wrong.

I make music I would want to listen to

BE BORN A GOD LIKE BONEBONE
A FOLLOWING WILL GATHER

BONEBONE DEATH CULT

>how do i build an audience
write good songs that other people (not just you) want to listen to
>like, where do i post
you can self-promote anywhere you like but it won't help if you don't have good songs that other people want to listen to

I take out reddit ads they got reposted and my soundcloud got like 20k views today
