Not really offended, and I didn't mean it as a grudge against the world. Its an observation of human nature (something best avoided IMO). You can put so much of yourself into something, and it takes no effort on the afore mentioned arsehole's part to put you down. The stupid thing here is that they actually thought I wanted their approval. Its only a put down if I was hoping they would like it. So I was rather amazed that co workers and friends would come out with tertiary education critiques like "where's the singer?", "I hate drum machines", "You should learn to play a real instrument". Or the ever popular condescending, "Don't you think the kick and bass are too loud, you should listen to some successful music". Yeah right.
Back to your wannabe post (which you are pretty much retreating from yourself now), trying to make music requires you to find something inside yourself. Relying on others to help you find it won't help. IMO they can set you on the path to failure if you let them. So I thought I would take a different point of view - don't let others hear your music. If it is really good enough, the world will find out about it
Cheers,
