Why are most (good) musicians left-wingers?
>>
Becuase most talented musicians are also mentally ill

you don't have to be from the future to know that this thread will suck

They went to music/arts school or didn´t go to school at all
>>
because progressive ideas make for more interesting art

doesn't really mean they're right as there's a difference between art and politics
>>
>identity politics
Also go back to /pol/ if you want a shit-tier political debate between angry neckbeards.
>>
Because most music media outlets are left-wing, and therefore are more likely to promote artists with left-wing beliefs. There are plenty of great artists that are broadly right-wing, but they either shut up about it or it's brushed under the rug.
>>
>>65468574
I am a musician and left-winger. AMA

seriously, make me a test subject
>>
Because conservatives are naturally uncreative, stupid, unfunny, and soulless.
>>
>>65468679
that just moves the question to *why are most music media outlets left-wing"
hardly a stisfying answer
>>
>>65468679
/pol/ actually believes this
>>
>>65468574
Most good musicians are actually pretty moderate. This rings true for all artists. Usually the most creative minds are the ones that sit on the fence philosophically and politically.
>>
Because conservatism is fiscally responsible and smart, and you'd have to be a fucking idiot to try and get into the arts.

The right-wing tend to not value freedom of expression, even though they'll say over and over again they're for free speech, that's just a generalized defensive response. They're really for free speech as long as it's as far away from them possible and they are in no way associated with it

>>65468574
becoming a musician is a somewhat overly ambitious and somewhat naive thing to do unless you're 100% sure you are very talented because the large majority of musicians never go anywhere

this pairs with the fact that most liberals are usually pretty naive since generally it seems like the good position to take because hurr conservatives are just greedy rich people who hate everyone because they dont look like them

also >>65468936
people in art are generally more emotional

"I'm interested in the capitalistic way of life, and the reason I like it better than anything else I've seen so far is because competition produces results. Every socialistic type of government where the State theoretically owns everything, and everybody does their little part to help the State, inevitably produces bad art, it produces social inertia, it produces really unhappy people, and it is more repressive than any other kind of government." -Frank Zappa

If you actually read the studies, they merely say that more intelligent people are statistically significantly more likely to exhibit social values and religious and political preferences that are novel to the human species in evolutionary history. How fucking general is that?

That doesn't make him right-wing. Everyone in the US is a capitalist. It's on a bell-curve, you've got to look at where he is compared to the center. Besides that, that might have been a controversial thing to say then but it isn't now.

Maybe it has something to do with art appealing to the people, or the fact that most people assume you need "feelings", like "love" in music.

It is very general but if you had any critical thinking skills you would be able to draw conclusions from that data using inductive reasoning. The values generally asserted by progressives are novel, the seek to tear down tradition and make change. Hence the term progressive.

what is this "leftists are more empathetic than rightists" meme?

maybe because "right wingers" favor more law and order over peoples needs and desire

You'll find all art in general leans to the left.
It just so happens that artistry is one of the values more commonly held by the left and less by the right.
