Hype is the awkward and desperate attempt to convince journalists that what you've made is worth the misery of having to review it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Hype is wonderful when it happens, and you should capitalize on it. But you shouldn't bank on it being the thing that will take you to the next step. Because it's fleeting. The blah-blah-blah goes away, but you're still there.
You're all right, as long as you don't believe your own hype.
The fact that hype exists doesn't prove that something is not important.
Hype is scary.
The easiest way to not believe your own hype is to not know what people are saying about you.
I just don't believe the hype. I just don't take myself too seriously. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
My own saying is: 'Create the hype, but don't ever believe it.'
My complaint is that there are more books and news articles than there are primary scientific papers. I am probably the biggest critic of the hypesters, because it's dangerous when fields get overhyped.
I don't like hype cluttering art.
I think hype is a good thing. You need it and it'll teach you valuable things and you'll grow stronger, which is what I've done.
