Meh. I know artists who do well for themselves. They aren't begging west siders or suburbanites to buy their stuff, nor are they working at McDonald's. They do appreciate and take inspiration from the vibe of east side life. If you aren't one of those people or aren't friends with them, then yeah I guess you might not be able to understand. They aren't simply caricatures or dimwitted hippies because some of their choices and values may be foreign to your own. There is no need to continually belittle and put down everything remotely progressive or outside one's sphere of life.
