Q: 6.20.17  7:03 pm you answered "i'm not sure what you mean". this is your usual answer whenever someone refers to your music as "joke" music. i don't think anyone thinks it in the negative sense, but your music certainly exudes a humorous, joking feel. you can't be serious when you say that you don't understand that, right? comparing art is usually pointless, but for example, would you not say that Radiohead's music (for example) has a lot more serious tone and message compared to your music? with lyrics like "i'm a movie star" you can't expect people to not think that you're aiming for humor. all that said, your stuff is great, i just wanted to ask you why you refuse to accept your musical style with specific wording and just evade all attempts at classification
A: i am very serious about creating something that is enjoyable and meaningful to watch or listen to. if we have to call everything either a "joke" or "serious" then this would seriously be no fun, and also not meaningful. if movie star is a joke then i guess i don't get what the joke is. although the song does use fiction. many songs use fiction/metaphors etc, such as 'i am the walrus' etc
