Because the art industry isn't just "music and movies." It's an interrelated creativity hub.

If you take away visual and experimental arts you also lose good music and movies. And good graphic design. And good architecture. And more.

If you think this is exaggeration, consider that not a few household name musicians - Eno and a long list of others - went to art school, not music school.

The alternative art forms you mentioned are all also in demand, marketable forms of art.

Who's Eno? This guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eno_(rapper)

Seems like an obscure reference more than a household name :-)

At least outside of DACH.

Brian Eno. Hardly an obscure reference.

> household name musicians

He's not a "household name musician", either.

Elvis, Beatles, Queen, Kanye West, Rihanna, Madonna, Beyoncé, Adele, etc are household name musicians.

Brian Eno is maybe a strong influence in the field, but few regular people outside of actual musicians have heard of him around the world, I'd venture.

I hadn't known about him before reading his Wikipedia page, just now. And I tend to read a lot :-)
