Well. There are those who'd argue that these 'fringe artists' are uninspired twats who take out their lack of inspiration on an art world that doesn't care about them. That's not a dig. I'll provide an example.
I know a guy who's been trying to make it as a musician for 20+ years. He's played in God knows how many bands. He has absurd amount of equipment. He plays blues rock. And, frankly, he really isn't good at that. He talks about his 'art' being 'avant-garde' and 'too extreme' for labels and audiences to get. He gets very angry at how 'the industry' ignores 'real artists' like himself. The truth of the matter, of course, is that he's playing a style of music that's 30 years out of fashion, and playing it badly.
Relevent to this thread, he's also self-taught.
Basically, my point is, there are probably a lot of great 'fringe artists' that don't get noticed along the way; there's a far greater number of people who really need to get real, mercenary though it is to say that. Or, people could just enjoy what they do, which is the easiest thing to do.
