With all my respect, I wasn't trying to piss on your post, only to communicate how it reads.
On the subject — this wave of tech is intensely overwhelming, I feel you too.
And often it is hard to see exact value that you can create.
Having said this, it would probably lead to even more interesting music, art and all the things you mentioned, because the bar was raised.
In my experience, you can do what you like and then share, all the time. It really takes a great deal of effort to enable your peers to know what are your interests and what you are good at. In the end I had to force myself into writing articles, bringing the code to "ready for other people" state and etc. Once done — people will find you, then you just chat, try building something together and see how that comes out.
