And since envelope-pushing and experimentation are such a big part of art, conservatives generally, by their very nature, self-select out.

I don't have statistics to back it up but I think they do. But Im being specific too music and not any other art form. I think musical artists tend to come from a poorer background, and a lot of the time, its about image aswell. Can you imagine a rock band formed in a high class private school? They'd be ridiculed if they were too release music.
Its also the fact that the poorer you are, the more likely you would start a band or go into music because there for more less options out for you. This indirectly increases the pool of artists.
