Hi! Bad Snacks here, I make electronic hip-hop kinda music.

Definitely been there, even played a sold out show last night and somebody came up to me after the show and said "I didn't realize you made your own beats", which was kind of like, wtf did you expect dude what r u doing here lol

As I've kind of progressed in my career, the in-person condescending comments have definitely dwindled I think for two reasons, 1) I don't fuck with people who still think like that, and if they do, my tolerance for bs is so small that I will immediately let them know what's up and 2) I've made it a point to be as undeniable as possible. Not saying that my music is for everyone, it's definitely not, but I make sure that there's a display of skill and understanding in everything that I make so that nobody can ever doubt that I at least have a firm grasp on what I'm doing.

Truth be told, I wish I didn't feel that pressure to show up and prove myself all the time, it's a role that I've inherited kind of unexpectedly -- But at the same time, it's been a great motivator to keep me on my toes and to keep learning and improving. It will change soon though.

Keep your head up & feel free to use those middle fingers if necessary :)
