why are 99.999% of musicians left-wing?

People who are creative are usually also bad at rationality and hard logic.

They're more instinctually/emotionally-driven. They go for ineffective solutions that sound and/or feel the best rather than practical solutions that also have negative side effects.

This makes me think that we'll start to see more right wing artists in the next decade, just because left wing ideology is mainstream now.

>>99042

There are irrational 'right wing' groups as well, I would say that I'm right wing and I can see that their are irrational groups on the right. But, someone can be entirely rational and wrong, or conversely, entirely irrational and correct. And somethings are above rationalization - like love of your family. You don't need reason beyond the fact that they are your family to love and sacrifice for them.

There are also irrational scientists and doctors. It's a generalization, not a 100% guarantee.

My take is that right-wing morals and requirements are too complex for popular music and they don't care for modern life anyway therefore it would be awkward or preachy to try and squeeze into it. This is why all right-wing popular music is meth-driven hardcore punk, faux right-wing neofolk or martial industrial, classical which isn't really right-wing it's just not Marxist or making pop music that really isn't different or creative from anything else being made. The current right-wing climate thinks it's contrarian to be or they uptightly adhere to the ideology instead of being so casually/default which is how they're awkward and preachy where they care about their ideology the most.

>most art isn't anywhere near profitable

/pol/ would probably say that the jews that control the music industry only promote artists with "leftist" opinions.

There has to be something to that, not necessarily by jews, but just that the top of the industry is very leftist to begin with and therefore only promotes certain artists, but i also think that artists and creative people tend to think in terms of feelings rather than cold hard facts, not only that but the more sentimental music tends to be better, my point is that making art is the sort of skill that goes hand in hand with leftist politics, on the other hand i'm pretty sure most engineers are right-wing.

I can't think of many right wing artists i like, there re few to begin with, but i can tell you about many, many leftist artists that i enjoy, even if i try my best to ignore their opinions outside music.

It's not about those opinions being mainstream. It's about being progressive and wanting society to keep "going forward".

FTFY

Because they think they are the elite, and tv tells them that the elite is left-wing. Exactly like college students. This is why almost all leftys are brainless zombies.

Jim Goad pretty much nailed this in "The Underground Is a Lie".

https://www.jimgoad.net/goadabode/issue%202/undergnd.html

>You remind me of someone I knew in college. His name was Mark. Pale, unshaven, and wearing his dishwater-colored hair in a Mohawk, Mark was an anarchist. He railed against the corporate elite and cheered for the collective. Projecting himself as his own mascot, he defaced hundreds of buildings with a goofy cartoon drawing of a Mohawk-wearing anarchist. The back of his leather jacket had an anarchy 'A' crudely daubed in white paint. Mark could be seen around town clustered with similarly disaffected youth, drinking out of paper bags, committing petty acts of vandalism, and plotting America's overthrow.

>Unfortunately, Mark's parents were publishing magnates who had tucked away forty thousand dollars in stock for their baby anarchist. I once watched Mark transform into a sobbing bitch when he lost a bootleg cassette of his favorite hardcore band. Despite his lowlife appearance, he was a rich boy with the time and money to act poor. So were all of his friends. So are all of the people who consider themselves "alternative." Mark-you remind me of him.

>Like Mark, your underground is strictly an upper-class phenom. You're a body-pierced, hair-dyeing, chain-smoking, whip-carrying FAKE, a little bitchy snitch who hasn't been hit enough. Your black eyeliner, rubber pants, and asymmetrical hairdo are a post-pubescent way of playing costume. You can't handle the guilt of your comfortable background, so you commit the heinous crime of slumming. No one worships trash in the slums, where they have to eat and breathe it daily. In poor neighborhoods, weirdness invites violence. Yet a blue-blooded nabob like you acts triflingly eccentric and considers it radical.

>The "creative community" doesn't consist of the most creative people; you're the ones with the most spare time to create, those whose parents tolerate-and often finance-your flighty pursuits. What usually passes for art is just the idle noodling of the leisure class.

>Your gizzard ululates with, "You sellout!" Well, the wealthy are the only ones who can afford NOT to sell out. Yes, there are a holy few who have refused cash when it's been dangled in front of them-they're called 'masochists.' If you're still reading this, you're a masochist, too. By the time I'm done with you, you'll reconsider your opposition to law enforcement.


 No.99102

>In your typically egocentric way, you pretend you're the vanguard, freeing the oppressed from the shackles of ignorance. You conduct a sorry crusade to recast the world in your image. You're dumb enough to think you'll make a difference. You feel that if everyone was like you, society would be wonderful. Yet you walk away scratching your head when the truly oppressed don't want anything to do with you. You've never fought for anything but the right to be infantile.

>If patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels, political rhetoric is a cubbyhole for dullards. The political is merely the personal in a cheap, quivering act of sublimation. You oppose power, which is like protesting the sun-scream all you want, but it'll still scorch you. As you cry about global warming, global corporations, and global revolution, I stare into the vacant globes of your eyes. The only anarchy going on is the mutinous misfiring of your brain cells. The 'A' stands for "asshole."

>You whine about your "sexuality," how your body is a political combat zone. You're a simple rodent with boring bodily functions which you seek to ennoble. With your flagrant vanity and dishonesty in personal interactions, you reveal yourself to be equally as rotten as the leaders you despise. You invariably wind up imitating the oppressor. Unfortunately, you weren't oppressed to begin with.

>For not only are you a liar, you're a hypocrite. You're fascinated by violence until you're confronted with it. You romanticize trauma but have never been traumatized. You demand grant money from a government you seek to destroy. You idolize primitive cultures but would slash your wrists if your CD player broke. You condemn religion but consider yourself enlightened. You're as self-righteous as the moralists upon which you spit. You hate hatred, won't tolerate intolerance, and conspire with others against conformity.

>All your cohorts are hypocrites, too. Feminists don't degrade, objectify, and stereotype men? Socialists aren't elitists? Environmentalists don't drive cars? A pox upon all your houses. I'd wish for a rat to bite your ass and give you the Black Plague, but you'd probably consider it a fashion statement.

>While you slurp the dick of political correctness, your amber asshole is being torn asunder by aesthetic correctness. You flush your self-respect down the toilet while scrambling to obey the edicts of boho taste. You're frightened senseless that others will think you're uncool. You'd rather swallow whale sperm than admit you like disco, Chicken McNuggets, or Love Connection. You're frozen with fear that someone will realize what little you have to say. You squirm in the face of your own dullness. You are a prisoner of the underground, a hostage of your own creative retardation. Ideas emerge from your head stillborn.

>Your rebelliousness is laid out for you like the portions of a TV dinner. You ape the powers that be with every clove-scented breath you take. You are nothing more than socioeconomic ectoplasm, a target market, a file folder at Central Casting. You exist as a parasite, because without an Establishment for you to oppose, you'd shrivel into cellular waste. Try as you may to avoid being absorbed by the mainstream, you remain trapped under its microscope, an amoeba with a nose ring.

>This isn't an apologia for the mainstream, not by any stretch. Those who seek to defend it might as well believe in the Easter Bunny, too. The mainstream's models of reality are chunky and obsolete, just like yours. To attack it is too easy, like stealing crutches from a cripple. I'll leave those tactics to cowards such as you.

>True psychos stand alone. The only pioneers are those who give voice to the ugliest corridors of their unconscious without fear of censure from any quarter. The acts that ordinary people commit behind closed doors are beyond the ken of any performance artist. Humans' innate weirdness is far more threatening and entertaining than anything the professional shock mavens could conjure.

>I boggle your conception of a world split between cognoscenti and squares. I subvert the subversives and bury the underground under six feet of its own hypocritical manure. I perform unsolicited tattooing, body-piercing, and ritual scarification upon you.

>Give vent to your sickest fantasies, but don't call it art. Cornhole Barbara Bush, but only if you want to. Sketch your astrological chart with your own feces, but only if it feels good. If you want to do something truly radical, kill yourself. We'll have one less reader, but the world will be a better place.

Nice source you have there.

The entertainment industry is rotten with noisy lefties, it's the ones who keep their mouths shut that are probably /ourguys/ at heart. Being a noisy righty generally makes getting your material out difficult, but a few slip through.

I wouldn't say that the art industry is at all very left-wing, most likely (neo-)liberal as it's a hugely capitalist industry


 No.99718

because most artists comes from not from classical music schools, but more like these hippy/liberal type of musical education and they are brainwashed into being this type to fit in during their formative years.

Also like Blackie Lawless sang in Chainsaw Charlie, the music industry will make you a faggot.

ian curtis was kinda facist. he was really into the nazis. idk of his opinions but i know in one of their songs they shout out some SS officer's name before playing. other than that the only current artist i can think of (that i enjoy) that is right wing, or at least not a leftist idiot is john maus.

In Touching from a Distance, his former wife whines about his habit that he had a habit of ripping on Indians for not using toilets. I think it's the Rudolf Hess comment you're thinking of, although Ian Curtis was really just into Nazism for the aesthetics. You can't really blame him for the fascination.

I don't know much about John Maus, but he comes across as a huge faggot from his Wikipedia article.

Savage, as Jim Goad usually is. I'm legit poor though and mostly because of societal neglect and hatred of the mentally ill and criminally insane. Most people hate what I do and I get off on it.
