So, how does this apply bakc in time a bit, like in the 1940s? There were massive movements, like in Germany, and obviously Russia before, to kick it off. How did they accrue members and grow?

Small presses?? And just to clarify, not being snarky or anything, I just want to check what I know and what I assume, here.

    People are messed up, man. I've still had someone flat out say "that's a gay name" to my face. About my name. Without knowing anything else about me. Weird, man. Like, I'd even accept somebody saying it out of anger in traffic as being easy to brush off. But some people, man.

    To be honest though, I feel like queer people that grew up in that period and before were robbed. It sucks and I don't really know where to place the anger properly. Definitely not on a musician though, personally.

    My family, the people I grew up around, yes, but not a musician really, especially when half the time they were probably just looking for an easy rhyme, as compared to someone a foot away from my face saying they wanted to drag me behind a truck. Or saying how wrong it is to be with a guy. I'm not big on ICP but have listened to a few of their songs and if I'm being real I didn't even notice them saying it. But the other stuff... I don't think I'll ever heal from.

    Dude have you ever tried to collaborate with anyone?

    Also, A, no one has money.

    And B: it turns out learning an art form to a high enough degree to use it to sell something involves (generally) doing it from a young age and each different skill requires other related skills. Nobody has the time to make music, and learn art, and then graphic art, and marketing, and writing, and accounting.
