Stereotyping is such a cliche and so passe.
A good example would be people who think they are artistic could get away with being incredibly selfish, inconsiderate, rude and insolent, by justifying "creative people are that way".
Give me a break.
By buying into this stereotype, it's an abhorrence, bordering on a social illness to be artistic or creative.
I believe that the most creative people are the calmest people, almost zen like in spirit. They know that creative endeavour is a discipline and an ongoing, lifelong pursuit. Therefore they breathe it with grace, the true masters.
That cannot be said with the stereotypical "artists", because to justify their mediocrity, they have to play into the moody, brooding, not understood facade. To what purpose you might ask? Simply because they do not want to risk exposing the fact they are mediocre.
