"I like music but cannot remember the last time I went to a concert"

That seems like a weird angle to take it, no? I know it's just an example but there is more than one type of artist, just as there's more than one type of musician. As simple as it is, someone needed to design the YCombinator logo. Art is everywhere as well, even on a site like this that doesn't host much visual media.

(P.S. I do remember the last time I went to a concert. October).

Sorry, I cannot follow. But I don't find your first sentence to be weird.

I was mostly just saying that your comparisons seem uneven. You were comparing one specific part of art (landscape painting) to the entire music industry. There more ways to art.
