Just out of high school, Mommy still buying band equipment, and they are already "starving artists in a city that won't support artists". That's right - their biggest life experience is SnapChat - and now they are "artists".

Seems Seattle is full of these people, artists who live here but cannot really live here because Seattle does not allow them to live here even though they do live here still. It is always because Seattle doesn't support ersatz "artists" like these hipsters and that Carrie Bradshaw imitator girl last week who attempted an essay about having a small apartment. She also is this "artist" who cannot afford to be an "artist". She also can't live here while she lives here as a writing "artist".

Also, you have to be middle class and white when you make this "artist" declaration of yourself, and then you are entitled to all this support money Seattle is supposed to throw at you.

The reality: Seattle, nor any other city, doesn't support "artists" simply because they declare themselves to be "artists". "Artists" butter their bread the same way anyone does: earning money by plying their trade. There is no city anywhere that has an open pool of money and apartments for broke hipsters who declare themselves "artists".

Lastly, there are already way too many misunderstood white kid bands in this world already.

Snapchat. Facebook. Instagrams. All of it is what the GenZers validate themselves with. And no thanks to us millennials. But being a young band in this city that appeared to support young bands seems to be losing interest. It was kept alive by the GenXers who longed for their glory grunge days. And Xers are now in their 40s and 50s, so perhaps their gusto to keep it going has faded, and Millennials could care less about music they can't listen to for free.

Whatever happened to Ayron Jones btw?
