Nobody ever says this about mediocre acts that are really great people in their personal life. You'll never hear someone say "This song is kinda mid but thats because they recorded it while working at a refugee camp!"

I dunno what you're talking about, I see people do that all the time

That's because not much people care about art that doesn't have wide appeal, so there's even less of a chance of anyone making themselves that question.

People do say that, but then that does not make the song more enjoyable, to me at least.

Theres a difference between “he recorded that in a camper van, thats pretty cool” and “daamn that was recorded it a camper van”.
