Is it actually kind of good rich kids waste their life with music instead of doing anything material that adversely affects people? Yes, these people ruin any music scene they infiltrate but it feels like damage control compared to what they could have done otherwise.

I was poor and starting my freshman year at music conservatory at 22 years old, wasnt even a leftist, but even then I knew that music was kind of worthless. Music as a metaphysical healing force is neoliberal thought, music is the thread that knits communities but is essentially useless in a place without community.

But this kind of thought only serves to make libs feel good about themselves for choosing something entirely selfish rather than something useful like say be a doctor or teacher.
