    Independent Artists: How To Rise Above Mean Internet Comments

    Dyllan White first popped up on BreatheHeavy with a mashup of a few Britney Spears classics. Consider it a stealthy debut for the up-and-comer. Britney is one of the most polarizing pop fixtures on the planet; anything that orbits close to her stardom gets judged with a magnifying glass. Dyllan's remix was no different – the Britney Army had a lot to say about his release, and the reaction was a mixed bag. 

    Dyllan is one of BreatheHeavy's newest Creators. If you are interested in becoming part of it, please email me at Jordan[@]breatheheavy.com. Creators shines a light on independent pop artists. 

    I caught up with Dyllan to gauge his reaction following our premiere post. As someone who's dealt with hurtful Internet comments for more than 15 years, I understand his position. Nobody wants their work judged negatively, but it's also an inseparable piece of the puzzle. Greatness is forged from the push and pull of good and bad, but why does the negativity cling, haunt and sabotage us more than the positive? 

    Check out my interview with Dyllan about that, then let us know what you think in the comments. And while I've got you... keep an eye out for another Dyllan White music premiere post on Valentine's Day. 👀

    Wow! That was actually nice. It reminded me of Madonna's Bedtime Story and You'll See. :clap1:

    I also noticed when you laughed before saying "overprotective". Like, i get that a lot from people. Because i'm the biggest Britney stan they know, they think i'm making a Britney reference when it's not even my intention. I'm just speaking. :cuteidk:

    That's a really important message, thank you!

    I can relate to this tbh. First, to the negative comments you're talking about... I've been making a cartoon show based on Britney & Nekci Menij Show, which is I Am Brinty Joan: The Show. And I've got to deal with negative comments as well. And you're right, you can get thousands of good comments, supporters... but these few negative ones are gonna hurt you. But it's something you have to get over and don't matter about, it's just impossible to fullfill everybody's expectations. Also there are mean people who just dislike things because they enjoy doing it. And that's the other thing I wanna talk about. I've been surrounded by some people like this for some time in my life. They tried to change me into a negative person, but it never worked for a long time. I always felt like I'm not being myself and I hated it. They never liked me the way I am... But luckily I moved out.

    It's been 3 years and it's all finally getting better. I feel like I've been slowly throwing out pieces of negativity from my life... but it's better to make progress in small steps. I'm surviving depression and found a lot about myself. Never got time for that since I was little... And you know what, negativity sucks. I never enjoyed bad emotions, it's sad that some people do. I don't wanna sound vain talking a lot about myself, just felt like sharing this with a family. Because you know, I'm here for like 6 years or so.

    There was some negativity here as well, sometimes I felt painful about this and just couldn't log in for a while, well, some people just are mean. Hope they'll get better.

    With negativity on exhale I didn't mean being a diva or shade sometimes cause that's how real family/friends do :explainlol:

    Love you guys :sendinglove:

    We are coming into an era where manufactured artists will be irrelevant to the majority of people.  Independent artists, make music that makes YOU happy.

    Good for you! Being toxic free is a really, really long process. I learned that the hard way. But I guess, it comes with growing up. The older we get, the easier it is for us to not care about these things. And i want you to know that your show is a masterpiece and is making thousands of people happy and laugh - myself included. Thank you! And we love you! :hugs:
