A true artist is an outlier, beyond the traditional boundaries of society. Some can get a compulsion to do this. They are listening to a different drummer. At first, it shocks the audience, and then it becomes a stepping stone to further artist's innovation. A classic example is Igor Stravinski's Rite of Spring which was presented to the public as a symphony and ballet in 1913, choreography by the great dancer Nijinsky. The first audience was horrified and loudly objected. Now it is considered a brilliant masterpiece and is performed all over the world.
