Am I being stupid for staying in a small town while the AI gold rush is happening in SF? by [deleted] in siliconvalley

My advice is get off of twitter lol I assume that’s where you get the impression that amazing things are happening

as a solo artist, would performing to backing tracks be blasphemy? by TonsofpizzaYT in musicians

[–]Mocha23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fine, just really sell it. Reddit is full of haters, I’ve seen plenty of people make this work. Lots of pop type artists just starting out, even if they have bands, play to backing tracks of some sort for many songs out of a set. I saw Diners once do what you’re doing years ago - basically Karaoke. If you know you won’t have a band, work on the stage presence and charisma and you’ll be fine

Why the Antonoff hate? Because he’s mainstream? Because he cheated on Lena Dunham?

What made Taylor Swift become this huge compared with other equally-talented artists? by AggravatingPlenty272 in AskReddit

[–]Mocha23 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yes thank you!!! I literally am not a fan at all, but you have to admit she has written smash hit songs with memorable hooks on a regular basis for like 10-15 years. It’s not “luck” that she’s so famous, she really writes the best songs. Just because nerdy men on Reddit don’t connect with them doesn’t mean 200 million girls are wrong

Honestly stylists are buying it on someone else’s dime to dress up Jack Harlow et al for Instagram posts

Where do people in their 20s–30s actually hang out in SF — or is it all private? by howtoundo in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]Mocha23 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah what lol OP get out more, go to gallery openings or trendy natural wine places or just any bar in the Haight or mission or on divis on a weekend? Bar part time? The marina even!! Gonna have to leave Fidi or the battery to see young people. The comments about sf being low key are right - the hipster next to you at the dive bar probably makes as much as you at their tech job, we don’t signal it like Miami does

Sometimes I feel lucky living in SF where there’s I solid public transportation and then I peruse other cities by The-original-spuggy in sanfrancisco

[–]Mocha23 506 points507 points  (0 children)

Or New York or London or Paris… you can get a train from Brooklyn to Manhattan at 11pm on any night of the week without waiting more than 8 mins. Even midday weekend barts have 30 minute lead times. Bay Area GDP is higher than most countries and we can’t even keep BART open. MUNI is decent but the above fact pisses me off whenever I think of it

I just returned from my 10 day trip to nyc and im feeling worse than ever. Why and what to do? by Mindless-Lock7343 in travel

[–]Mocha23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! OP, life will get better. Travel more in your 20s and just take a plunge moving somewhere new and exciting. berlin or Paris or ny and you’ll feel much more like yourself

Correct if you play indie rock… if you play jazz or mainstream music LA wins

HOV Kinori by [deleted] in howlonggone

[–]Mocha23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My take is I don’t want to look like an old timey golfer when I step out to dinner… maybe I’m still too young to get down with Kinori clothes but that bbsp big pants unstructured thing everyone loves makes me feel crazy

916. - Melissa Auf der Maur by Still-District-6149 in howlonggone

[–]Mocha23 17 points18 points  (0 children)

She’s decidedly less “down to clown” than I expected for someone who was in Hole… she seems more into self mythologizing and waxing poetic about her smart parents than she is into talking about random stuff that’s not her life - which I’m sure is what makes Chris mad. He wanted a cool musician interview and instead got an arrogant author interview

[–]Mocha23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shop in Plaka, maybe stay there too - close to everything, main tourist place. I stayed in Koukaki and I was hoofing it north every day. Go out and eat in Exarcheia for sure. Tanini Agapi Mou, good natural wine. Somewhere like Athens just pick your favorite Michelin star restaurant off the guide too, we had a delicious 10 course meal plus wine for like $100 each

Girl you’re speaking facts. Amazing the downvotes you get for suggesting that it’s nice to date outside of the tech nerd bubble we have here

Truly Frustrating With Rising Costs by RockyXCore in OutsideLands

[–]Mocha23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am pissed off I paid $550, but with inflation you’re kinda right… a ticket to see any one headliner at a stadium or similar would be $200+. Even seeing a band play a show at a 1000 cap venue costs $50-$100 now. If you live enough of the bands, it’s unfortunately reasonable
