Is there anymore more cringe and pathetic that objectively talentless people spending decades toiling away at art and music thinking they'll get lucky and be discovered or have an eureka moment?
Especially when they comfort themselves with copes like "you do art for yourself", "art for arts sake" as if any of the great artists would ever fuck around with art if there weren't an audience. Commercially and generally. But some 50 year old guy who has never written a listenable piece who spent decades struggling to understand and do what a 16 year old talented player has done in half a week is doing it because of a compulsion to express himself to the ether lol 😂Â
The idea that art doesn't exist for social purpose is such massive cope. Even at its most fundamental biological level, art is made for observation by others. Ie animals that create symmetrical structures to attract mates.Â
There honestly should be some.kind of intervention or state mandated diversion program because artist cope is like a drug to some.of these people. It offers them a delusional escape from reality which is that they are not creative or talented and should just relax and do normal things in life
