Why do popular musicians peak so early? Almost every classical composer wrote their masterworks in old age. Beethoven's 9th, Mozart's Requiem, Tchaikovsky's 6th, Dvorak's 9th, Wagner's late works, Mahler's 9th and 10th. Then you look at any popular musician, whether it be in rock, pop, metal, jazz, whatever, and they almost always peak young. At the very best they'll make some good music later in their careers, but never surpass their early work. What gives?
