Successful musicians often find that fame and wealth do not satisfy their internal needs.

Their words

But the funny thing is, as much success as you have, it does not fill the hole inside that motivated you to do it. Therefore we have ultra-successful and even wealthy acts who O.D., way past the peak of their fame.

The audience's role in music consumption has shifted from rapt attention to social media engagement.

social media

Their words

Today the audience is as important as the act. People go to shoot selfies, to have a party, to create FOMO, whereas in the sixties and seventies the venues still had seats, and you sat in rapt attention, these were gods on stage.

Musical heroes are fundamentally different from other types of performers because they are their music.

Their words

There's an assumption that our musical heroes are just like you and me. They're not. And they're not like movie stars, not like politicians, not like any other performers, because they are their music, and their music speaks to us in a way no other medium does.

The Porsche Macan has damaged the brand's image by making it seen as an SUV brand and a fashion statement.

Their words

As for the Macan, that ruined the image of the brand...it sold, but Porsches used to be exotic performance automobiles (except for the 914-but if you had a six instead of the four, it was a monster; the 944 was a bit better, but never truly gained traction with the public), now it's seen as an SUV brand, and ultimately a fashion statement

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
