The public invented “failure” for artists.
Not art itself.
Music was turned into a scoreboard:
• streams
• charts
• sales
• trends
• virality
Like a sports league—there are winners and losers.
But art was never meant to compete. It was meant to speak.
If it doesn’t earn money: failed artist.
If it doesn’t trend: no impact.
If it’s not for the masses: irrelevant.
The truth is, that’s not judging art.
That’s judging market behavior.
Art doesn’t fail.
Systems fail art.
They put a stopwatch on a song.
They ranked emotion.
They priced sincerity.
And the irony—
Most great art in history lost money first or was ignored.
Some were hated.
Some were misunderstood.
Some were discovered decades later.
By public logic, Van Gogh was an epic failure. Which is absurd.
Competition doesn’t elevate art.
It distorts it.
Artists don’t lose when they don’t chart.
They lose when they start creating to win.
Art is expression, not election.
