I'm beginning to feel some of that too. Some choir singers here have this superiority complex, and they're just not aware that there is so much that they aren't able to do vocally. And as for band vocalists? Most "singers" that I've heard sound like a mix of the one from Coheed and Cambria and Dani Filth, only off tune. Stage presence? None whatsoever. And yet more and more people keep stroking their egoes...
its not wrong of you at all. you have a very unique vocal talent in that you're both classically trained (granted..its carnatic music, but you still have a good feel for pitch and tone) and you can growl and roar like a motherfucker. you'll find your niche. just don't stop looking and it will come. the bitterness comes more from you sitting on your ass than it does from jealousy of others. at least thats how it is for me. i really don't care about the other bass players except that they are in bands and groups and i'm not. and now that emo is slowly becoming the new mainstream rock, a LOT of singers are starting to fit the coheed and cambria stereotype. i've noticed it too. its annoying!! please make it stop.
yeah, I don't know why I even trip. It's not even my focus right now. If it works for me, then awesome. if not, I can always pursue it when I've reached a comfortable place in life. It's kind of sad how people feel so rushed to do things. maybe it's just to keep the hobbies and/or life interest up with the crazy academic pace.
you always get something if you want it long enough. back in soph year, i realized i didn't want to be another computer engineer in the silicon valley, so i started searching for something else i wanted to do with my life. i maybe gave up too easily. or maybe i just really didn't have enough passion for it deep down. it's a pet peeve of mine when other people get credit for something i do...
Nikhil!!!! You have no idea how much we all actually miss the sound of your bass playing at one in the morning. You will always be the one and only bass player in my life, and whenever anybody asks me who my brother is, they say "oh THE bass player". Dont' get down honey pie, you're fabulous and you'll find your place. much love, neha <3

I don't want to sound bitter. But I am.
Is that wrong of me, though?
