Wagner was an awful human being, anti semite, regularly abused and used people, but has written some of the most memorable music in the classical canon.

There's something about always following your passion and what you like that makes you a self-absorbed asshole. There's something about not working a "real" job, I would always pick musician over what I actually do. Or the entitlement and privilege that comes from pursuing an art your entire life.
For example, Mozart had the foremost saught music educator as a father and was regularly in aristocratic courts, he probably wasn't that cool of a dude irl.
