👉 Musician fumes refer to the negative behaviors and attitudes that can arise from the intense, often competitive environment of the music industry. These fumes include excessive criticism, jealousy, and a lack of respect among peers, which can lead to toxic relationships and a toxic work culture. Musicians may also experience burnout due to long hours, constant touring, and the pressure to constantly produce new material, all of which can contribute to irritability and mood swings. This environment can stifle creativity and collaboration, making it difficult for artists to thrive both personally and professionally.
