A Creator’s Dilemma
Though there are innumerable genres; there are only two
types of artists:
Those who paint solely to express themselves, and those who paint primarily to suppress a ranting landlord. In the context of music: the former makes people think, while evoking an emotion or three. And, at best, the latter makes people dance.
(As a result, creators find themselves in this dilemma: “What would I rather be? A homeless sense making artist, or, a senseless artist with a roof over his head?”)
