I'm so fricking tired of people constantly attacking people with natural gifts in the arts. At this point, people who shut down people who let their feelings guide them, are just self conscious of the fact that they probably don't have feelings to put into their work and use theory as a rulebook to artificially implant feelings into the work. Theory is simply reverse engineering, and it remains present in all art despite not actively studying it. It manifested in works long before it was studied and identified, afterall. Most people don't have to actively consider it in order to follow it. Of course it's good to be aware of it, but assuming people are going to be off rhythm or off key just because its not their priority is pretty condescending. Congratulations, you value sterilized,, generic music and not fulfilling music.
Assuming someone who prioritizes emotion doesn't know how to compose music and has zero regards for how a song ought to be structured sounds like an insecurity you have moreso than a problem of the person saying they value feelings. I think it's just easier to assume that people who follow emotions in art don't know what they're doing so the people without natural talent and had to use theory solely to develop their own sense for art don't feel threatened by it.
I feel constantly shut down as an artist anymore because I just "have an eye" for things and it used to be something that was welcomed but now it's not. And of course I'm mostly talking with the visual arts, but this applies to everything. Talent is ****ing worthless now. Just follow the damn tutorials everyone else does, and create stuff the same as everyone else does. It's boring and meaningless and consumerism hell.
And sure there are probably people out there who don't know what the **** they're doing but if they didn't actually care about their work or getting better, they wouldn't attend an "advice group." Maybe you're the one with the problem if you attended an advice group with a closed mind, and think you have no room to improve.
