From a psychological standpoint, what does "falling back to Earth mean"? Is it the sudden lack of public recognition? Is it the sudden lack of energy that feeds the personal narcissistic trait? Is it acceptance of defeat because the artistic viewpoint wasn't able to evolve with the times, therefore feeling "deprecated"?
Ultimately, if the goal of an artist is to feel great in the eyes of others, is it the sudden lack of purpose? Shouldn't an artist that believes in their own art, be happy in the good and bad times, since their artistic output is all they need to find purpose?
- jayski 4y agoThese people for the most part arent actual artists. They're great looking narcissists - who can sorta sing. A real artist creates art whether its recognized or not, for the love of creating it.
- watwut 4y agoEven artists themselves don't use that definition - and they debate "what is art" a lot. It is highly ideological and emotional definition and relies on mythology.
- pvaldes 4y agoRoisin Murphy fits perfectly in your definition of artist. In full gaga mode years before Lady Gaga. Moloko was much more known in Europe than in US, probably. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GY9DWIfpwc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GY9DWIfpwc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvaWPm6WQPs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvaWPm6WQPs
- TheOtherHobbes 4y agoIf you read the article you'll see that most of them do carry on - and it was the carrying on with limited interest in popular appeal that crashed their headliner careers. So in practice it means you get a lot of respect and money, and suddenly you don't. It would be not unlike going from FAANG veep or CEO to sudden unemployment. With no one calling. Except that you're less likely to have a financial cushion.
