Big Brother & The Holding Company - Cheap Thrills - 1968

[crisisartz]

Hi guys! I’ve been advertising this on my Instagram but feel like I need to advertise in other places now as well. I’m taking extremely cheap commissions so I can afford to take the bus to college and get Christmas presents for my family without being concerned about it!

All commissions are a minimum of £2 but an extra £1 per character and you can pay more if you would like.

No furry, mecha, nsfw but I also reserve the right to reject anything I may not be comfortable with as well

Will draw OCs or fandom stuff!

I would take payment through Ko-Fi if you can. DM me or comment if interested. Thank you <3

My best advice for those who want to pick up a new hobby but feel intimidated by perceived elitism is to just do what works and is available to you

I'm a musician, yet I purchased instruments online that were around $100 (very cheap considering the instruments). It's okay to do things like that! You don't have to be a Beethoven who only uses the most sophisticated instruments that cost over ten thousand dollars. And it's okay to pick up an instrument just so you can learn meme songs! You are learning something new and are applying it in ways that are enjoyable! You don't have to be ~classically trained~ or whatever.

I use music as an example because I have seen so many people who are almost ashamed that they want to dip their toes in and buy a cheap instrument, or are ashamed that they don't want to play the stuffy music that is thrusted onto musicians. However, this applies to literally anything.

Learn to write so you can write fanfic (yes, even lemons), learn to draw so you can make cringy comics, learn to compose so you can make vaporwave music. Buy cheap things that you can get your hands on, it doesn't matter when you are creating and learning!

If you are interested in a hobby, it is okay not to dive head-first into it. It's okay to be into it for a very specific purpose! You'll find that often, the elitism is either very fringe or is a stereotype, and the people in the hobby or passion will love what you're doing!

( INFORMATION AND EXAMPLES OF EACH GENRE UNDER CUT )

PROGRESSIVE ROCK !

Artists: Yes, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Genesis, ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)

Most popular Era: Early - Mid 70s

Basic definition: Prog rock is known for its classical influences and lengthy, complicated compositions. Originating in the early 70s, the genre would take the world by storm when bands like King Crimson and Pink Floyd rose to prominence. Prog rock is usually associated with experimental rock, and whilst there is some overlap, experimental rock aims to ignore traditional rock structures as a whole, whilst prog simply tries to rearrange them.

Song examples:

POWER POP !

Artists: Blondie, Cheap Trick, Big Star, The Romantics, The Knack, Nikki and the Corvettes

Most popular Era: Late 70s - 80s

Basic definition: A crossover of rock and pop, power rock is the more aggressive predecessor of pop rock. Known for its catchy hooks and upbeat tempos, power pop paved the way for timeless classics such as "What I Like About You" by The Romantics and "Hanging on the Telephone" by Blondie. The genre was most popular around the late 70s to 80s, and would go on to influence many bands to this day.
