I might be wrong but I feel like this has to do with music having an aspect that revolves around crafting an identity, which seems to feed into the sort of egocentric false consciousness that drives certain people towards reaction & fascism... And also because music doesn't necessarily require any social awareness outside of whatever group/genre the music is associated with.
On this note along with @bazingabrain arts are the place to be but there's a sweet stop. The closer you get to it mingling with consumption and product the more ghoulish people get. For example anyone trying to turn their art into a major hustle. Which creates a bit of a weird space at times because that means you need to find folks doing this for fun, that have the TIME to be doing it for fun. There are outliers obviously, I've met some nice people trying to make money off their artistic endeavors, but arts/craft is more of a correlation than a sure fire if that makes sense

I mean obviously trends aren't ironclad. Sorry about your guy getting got :sadness:
This may just be confirmation bias on my part but it feels like every story I hear about this happening, it's a musician
