Why does pop culture often portray non-artistic pursuits as unfulfilling or "lifeless"?

Post Body

I've noticed this recurring theme in movies and shows where characters in "regular" jobs or non-artistic fields are shown as lifeless or missing something. There's usually this idea that they need to introspect, quit their job, and find their "true calling" or passion to feel whole again.

I feel this kind of portrayal messes with our perceptions of what a meaningful life looks like. In reality, people lead complex lives where passions/interests/hobbies coexist with practicalities.

We got a live one. 😄

Because most creatives utterly DETEST blue collar types as somewhere between stupid, parasitical and backwards.
