Yeah but they can't really be considered as artists. Most INTPs who express theiselves through music use it as a medium to get people to hear their message, they are not doing it for the music alone.
Modest Mouse is not "real art"? Compared to what? Fucking Maroon 5?
I mean, art seems really hard to find and appears to have been a bugaboo of philosophers for centuries. I mean, apparently, in the right context, a
urinal is art.
You don't have to like MM, but they create art, if you're calling music an art, which you seem to be.
Brock might not use evocative Fi language like John Darnielle (whom I also love and want to marry in a totally heterosexual same-sex marriage, of course) but his lyrics are pretty damn good, I think.
"So pleased with ourselves for using so many verbs and nouns, but we were all still just dumb dumb dumber than the dirt dirt dirt on the ground."
It's less pretty than Fi songwriting, to be sure, but it cuts to the truth of something. At the risk of sounding dopey, I feel as though I get what he's singing about, and I love the unique way it's phrased and his odd lispy voice with some kind of a West Coast accent underneath. It's perfect to listen to with autumn coming on.
(I just hope, if MM ever makes another band, they go back to the basics and get rid of that dude from Morrisey's band.... it doesn't fit that well with his sound. It just creates too much noise )
Ok, bringing things on topic here... Wesley Schultz from the Lumineers writes songs like an INFP. I don't know much about him to bring any more to the table than that. But, what could be more wonderfully Fi than this? Of course, I always read an ambiguity into these kinds of songs that the writers don't usually seem to intend.
I also think Marisa Nadler might be an INFP. I need to buy one of her albums, because she's amazing and should be better known.
Oh, and my INFP reading is off the charts with Jeff Magnum. Poetic lyrics combined with an almost Cobain-like inability to handle fame. He basically disappeared for 10 years after the released of this album.
