Historically, music changes to fit the medium that's used to deliver it to the listener. Short form video is no different. I just have to trust that artists will always find ways to say what they need to say. After all, "the enemy of art is the absence of limitations."

I have never heard that quote. From what context does it come? It sounds somewhat ridiculous to me

It's often attributed to Orson Welles, but I don't know if that's accurate. It is paradoxical, yes, but I find it to be a commonly relatable sentiment though across many art forms. It almost seems like the art world's version of "necessity is the mother of invention".

Without limitations, there's little opportunity for art; or to frame it another way, if everything is expected, nothing can be surprising. It's when an artist's work "jumps off the page" that people are in awe, so it's important there's a "page" to "jump off of" as it were.
