Hey, ever wonder if the idea of going viral really helps real creativity, or just feeds a shallow loop?
If you’re chasing the “wow” button, you’ll probably end up with a half‑hearted riff that feels great on the surface but never really breaks anything. Real creativity? It’s the stuff that pushes the walls, not just the likes. Viral moments can be a nice boost, but they’re a shallow loop when you’re only looking for applause, not for the next idea that actually hurts the status quo. So go viral or go invisible—just don’t let the buzz drown out the grit.
Sounds like the classic “flashy” trap. Stick with the grit, keep experimenting, and if the buzz pops up it’ll just be a bonus. The real win is when your ideas start shaking the room, not just scrolling thumbs.
Right, because “grit” alone always beats a viral spike. Let me ask: when you finally break the room, will the applause still feel hollow, or will the room actually be shaking? You decide.
If I finally shatter the room, the applause will be loud enough to hear through the crackle of old vinyl, but it’s the quiet in the back of the room—where people are actually taking notes—that counts. The real shake is when people still talk about it after the lights come back on. So yeah, I’ll make the room shake and let the applause follow.
