Slide 1 (Hook):
6 rage bait methods to ruin a musician's day
Slide 2:
Ask them to play something right on the spot (with no instrument in hand, no warm-up, in front of random group of people)
Example: at the airport, see a piano in the terminal: "Oh you're a musician! Play something!"
Slide 3:
Ask them what their “real “job is
Example: "So is music like, your side hustle, and what do you do for a living?"
Slide 4:
Implied that they don't need to get paid a lot…or at all
Example: "How much do you charge? I can't pay much but it's great exposure."
Slide 5:
Offer to pay for things because they’re musicians
Example: “I'll get this check because you're a starving artist.”
Slide 6:
Suggest that they should have a career change
Example: "Have you thought about a backup career? You know, just in case."
Slide 7:
Tell them how much you hate the kind of music they make
Example: “Ugh classical music just makes me wanna fall asleep”
Slide 8 (closer, optional):
Are you rage baited yet?? Lmk in the comments & share with a musician friend~
