Because although I can play a few songs with a few mistakes, I cannot actually play an instrument. Although I can create things in FL Studio and know what all the buttons and knobs do, I don't have the ear for melodies. It is very much forced. Put me in a group of real musicians and ask me to play along, I'd be totally lost. Ask me to create a good song, I'll output trash.flp. So I won't "fake" being a musician, not going to pretend to be something I'm not.
The truth is what it is.
Many famous 'musicians' have no clue, just the right look. Elvis never wrote a song, and could barely play guitar.
just the right look
Ain't got that either, my friend.
Yeah, I've heard it said that Elvis played "funny guitar."
I have met countless musicians that could play like crazy, but looked like a incel/creep/neckbeard meme. It's a sad fact that most people have a face for radio.
