Also, you know, that trope of art as pain, and/or the province of tortured minds.

I mean, plenty of tortured minds have produced great art. Maybe there's some connection, I don't know. But somehow we come away with the vague feeling that if we don't personally want to cut our ears off over it, we aren't doing anything worthwhile.

Combine that with the not-at-all-vague sense that if we aren't actually MAKING MONEY at it, it's also not worthwhile, and what do you wind up with? A lot of obligingly self-marginalizing creative people.
