    Underoath: Why TikTok Fame is fake and why AI will replace musicians

    "If I was 15 right now, I wouldn't want to do this." That's what Spencer Chamberlain from Underoath said after 25 years in the music industry - and he meant it. In this Underoath interview, Spencer Chamberlain and Aaron Gillespie open up about why being a musician in 2026 feels like an uphill battle. This isn't a promotional interview—it's a brutally honest conversation about what being a professional musician really means in 2026. After 25 years, 10 studio albums, and a legacy that defined a genre, the duo sits down to discuss what the music industry REALLY looks like today.
