early emerging artist - A fancy way of saying ‘young artist’ that makes old artists

A fancy way of saying ‘young artist’ that makes old artists feel like they’re dying in the middle of a concert.

They called me an early emerging artist? I’ve been doing this since before they had Instagram.

This term is so fake it smells like a middle school art project.

I’m not an early emerging artist, I’m a full-blown art disaster.
