More like it's so impossible to gain your ideal of universal relevancy in art that relevancy to a sizeable audience counts.

My key contention here is using the audience as evidence against there being an audience for the genre on the assumption that they're not trve enough. Even if it were true, there wouldn't be so many fake emcees in classical music if there wasn't a relevant element to cater to.
