The context of the story here is kids and music, we’re not talking about people who no longer really bother with worrying about an audience we are talking about kids.

I think kids should play music that reaches other people or they aren’t likely to actually become musicians.

Not sure how controversial that actually is, I’m mostly just making a tree falling in the forest argument.

I’m not saying that isn’t true but it isn’t the only part of being a musician. I think you are suggesting it is.
