I've been making music for about a solid three years now and I find my music being haulted by what some call a music or writer's block (where everything you make either comes out sounding like shit or sounding like the same thing you've made hundreds of times). If anyone knows of any techniques or steps to get rid of this block, please explain.

Thank You

Need beats? Instrumentals are now for sale and ranging anywhere from $250 to $500. Beats are mixed and mastered after purchase. Can also lease beats with contract agreement.

I often listen to other music to try and gather some inspiration from them, and also I try and find an idea to base music off of, like a painting, or a landscape, or a scene, and that way I can look to that for ideas when I get stuck. Try one of those solutions

I thought writer's block is when you're completely dried up for ideas?

Swallow your sugar pills, inject your saline, breath in some hydroxide mist and have a nice day.

I find something inspirational that causes some sort of emotion. Sometimes you think of something that really pisses you off and then you just channel that into song or tunes. Alternatively, if you feel calm you can make a slow song, and so on.

Or just drop acid. There's some instant inspiration
