It’s a common problem these days. Young musicians and singers who think they deserve special treatment, simply because they can carry a tune or play an instrument. They often skip the growing period, and the humbleness to learn from others in the same field before them. This is where many of them go wrong. And it’s a shame, because with a little bit of humility and hard work, they could be on their way to becoming successful artists. Let’s take a closer look at why so many musicians and singers are entitled, and how you can avoid becoming one yourself.
The psychological roots of entitlement are complex, but there are a few possible explanations. For one, many young people have been coddled and told they’re special since childhood. As a result, they expect the world to treat them accordingly. Additionally, social media plays a role in creating an inflated sense of self-importance. With platforms like Instagram and Facebook, it’s easy to compare yourself to others and feel like you’re not good enough.
Another reason musicians and singers may feel entitled is that they haven’t put in the work required to be successful. They might have talent, but without practice and dedication, that talent will only take them so far. And when they don’t achieve the level of success they believe they deserve, they often become angry and resentful.
If you’re a musician or singer who feels entitled, it’s important to do a reality check. Ask yourself how much time and effort you’ve really put into your craft. Have you been working hard to improve your skills? Are you willing to learn from those who are more experienced than you? If not, then it’s time to start making some changes.
It’s also important to be open to constructive criticism. If you’re not willing to listen to feedback and make adjustments, you’ll never reach your full potential. Remember, no one is perfect. We all have room for improvement.
Finally, keep in mind that even the most successful musicians and singers have had their share of failures and flops. The key is to learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward. So if you’re feeling down about your career, don’t give up. Take a deep breath and try again tomorrow.
If you’re a musician or singer who is tired of feeling entitled, remember that change starts with you. Be humble, be willing to learn, and don’t take yourself too seriously. With a little bit of effort, you can avoid becoming another entitled wannabe. And who knows? Maybe one day you’ll even be successful.
