It just seems all I see today is art/performances from rich nepo babies who were basically groomed for that life. To me, it's just incredibly boring and sad. Mainly because it essentially silences a large variety of voices that would certainly be worth hearing. It's even prevalent in the indie community, a place that used to be a haven for unsung artists. It just seems that in the past, there was greater oppurtunity for "regular people" to actually have their voices heard within those spheres.

I'm not exactly mad at the artists themselves, but rather the economic forces that make it so difficult (if not downright impossible) for hardworking artists to actually break through that cracks.

It just seems like something someone could easily make up to sound special or unique. Does anyone here experience it? Is it similar to a hallucination or just something that one imagines?
