Deadmau5 on speaking his mind and why other artists don't do the same

He was asked:
"I think it's really cool that you're honest and outspoken about what you believe? How are you so able to break the mold and speak your mind? Also, why do you think so many artists these days are scared to express their honest opinions?"

Joel can speak because he is only independent producer, he has his own label, his own managment and so many fans that he is "stronger" than any other producer out there..

[jgspartan]

I just love how he's an independent and humble man

[CJMattias]

He will be remembered as a legend where as others will fade into nothingness

[gamer]

i like the fact that he speaks his mind

[TheChadPad]

I wish more artists would do the same. We need more realness in the music scene. The pocketbook is controlling the music a little too much

[urphakeandgey]

We need it more in the _"EDM"_ scene. It's so commercial and lifeless. Most artists have zero personality and never speak up. It's all PR bullshit and fake smiles while the music degrades.

[shaymary]

I hear you out, Zimmerman! INDEPENDENT. All the

0:52 I just wonder what Ganon's up to

[RajBeats]

And this is why hes the goat, he built a whole world and ecosystem off his own authenticity and creative expression and doesn't give a fuck how the chips fall

[andrewmaclean]

This is why hes a legend. And also whenever hes calling people out I would say usually what hes saying ain't wrong lmao

[zackmack]

And now look at his social media-Label Controlled. Joel drove himself on the brink of madness with Twitter. But it’s all good! He was getting to caught up in bullshit anyway. The Mau5 reigns supreme!

A lot of others artists are speaking their mind. It’s just that if you are not behaving like an asshole, people think that you are an dishonest person.
