Evan Williams: “The persistence of this label is unnecessary to appreciate music by these individuals, and that it is a dangerous myth that great art can only be the product of genius. Such a myth is not only harmful to those of us who write music — poisoning us with constant impostor syndrome and anxiety that our work will never be enough — but it has allowed musical culture to become ossified around the work of a select few composers — those worthy enough to be elevated to the status of genius.” – I Care If You Listen
