These people are artists. These people are musicians. They're taking it out and trying to express it that way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Artists need to express.
Actually, I don't think there's anyone that represents the artists, except the artists themselves.
Ideally, musicians belong outside the Establishment. When they cross that line, it's like something in them has died.
So many artists try to be something that they're not.
Artists are overcompensating with this aggressive, energetic, hyperstimulating music - it's like someone shaking you. But it can't move people on an emotional level.
Some artists want to confront. Some want to invoke thought. They're all necessary and they're all valid.
Because artists can be extremely eccentric and insane, and unfortunately, the people they hurt the most are the people that are closest to them.
Artists who write songs... what they're going through usually comes through in their music.
I see so many activists... who are artists because they feel that they have the power of communication.
For too long, musicians have been the greatest enemy of music. Their lack of desire to proselytize is a kind of betrayal.
