Tired Daria Fandom Tropes: Difference between revisions

Line 148:
Once again, the assumption by many fans is that if a character has skill in some area, that skill will lead to a successful career. However, in some cases, it is assumed that [[Trent Lane]] and his bandmates in [[Mystik Spiral]] have enough raw talent to make it in the music industry, given the right breaks and the mastering of the open "D" tuning.
 
This view ignores a few facts: that Daria (and sometimes Jane) have been slightly critical of the band's overall talent, that Trent takes the same approach to practice as he does to work in general, and that the snippets of Spiral songs from the series are rather unimpressive. The only polished song of Mystik Spiral's, "[[Freaking Friends]]", is played during the intermission of "[[Is It CollegeFall Yet?]]" and while the guitar playing of [[Jesse Moreno]] stands out, Trent's vocal interpretations are as leaden as ever.
 
Still, fan writers from [[Michelle Klein-Hass]] to [[Ruthless Bunny]] have written future tales with either Trent or Mystik Spiral possessing enough talent to eke a successful living from their music.
