I dont like this kinda thought since it perpetutes confirmation bias. I am happy that my parents read me fiction and non-fiction so that I could apply ideas to different settings and see how they work in a new context.

Modern musicians are degenerate. Composers are the only ones that belong to /lit/ tier. Beethoven studied the classics and loved Goethe and Schiller. Mozart was a polyglot. Schumann and Berlioz fell in love with Faust. Wagner befriended many writers and philosophers from that time.
