If you really love making music that shouldn't discourage you.

I listened to a bit of one of your tracks and it was well done, but it's not at all the type of stuff I listen to, so that was it for me. Everyone has different tastes, and I'm sure a lot of people you've presented your stuff to probably just aren't into that type of music. It's an incredibly subjective medium, and even if you can appreciate someone with good musical talents, that doesn't mean you want to listen to them. Don't take it personally.

The other possibility is that you're an amateur musician and people in general are uninterested in amateur musicians because there are so many. Again, the talent doesn't matter. People like listening to people that are popular. Again, don't take it personally.

At the end of the day, you just have to ask yourself, who am I making this music for? If you just want to be popular and have other people like you, then I understand why you would feel compelled to give up. Even if you're not that shallow I know how much it can hurt to be unappreciated when appreciation is really warranted.

But really, I have friends who make metal music and from my experience most people I know who make music just really love making music. I'm sure you do to. So you do you man.
