“I think that millennials and Gen Xers really feel like sellouts. It’s not what they imagined their career to look like. It inherently feels wrong with their value system.” <--- that last sentence for me. It feels wrong to scream and shout LOOK AT ME AND THE SHIT I'M SELLING AND DOING LOOK AT ME

Old person here. I used to represent and support avant-garde artists (video, film and dance, not painters/sculptors.) Including selling video to TV and museums. I know the tensions well. We've seldom seen this concentration on marketing uber alles before. (Good) artists can't work like that.
