Parents

Parent's will discourage you from attempting to become a rockstar. Obviously, it's because it is risky and extremely difficult. However, if you end up succeeding, they'll forgive you and congratulate you on your success. This pisses me off for multiple reasons. First of all, if the individual never attempted to pursue his dream, the end product (success) never would've occured, so all the discouragement was bitchin', unhelpful worry. Secondly, the dude went out of their damn way for their dream, which is totally encourageable. Of course all endings aren't succesful.

Let's say they fucked up. Someone would regret not trying more than trying and failing. To pursue a dream with this mindset is ultimately respectable, not refutable. It's ridiculous how condescending some people could be about it.

Not all parents discourage their children from their dreams, but most parents want their children's dreams to stay hobbies. It's understandable, if you think about it, because parents want their children to succeed. And in our society and culture, success has nothing to do with being happy. Success, now-a-days, has to do with money and materialism. They just want the best for you, but they don't understand your passion's depth for music.
