Voices
You write about the world like you're trying to understand it, and people come to see it through your eyes.
Your fans are readers. They study your lyrics, argue about what a line means and look up the place or the history behind a song. They trust your point of view, so when you tell them how you see something, they listen. They're slower to find you than other fans, because your songs reward a second listen. Once they're in, they stay for years and work back through the whole catalog.
You'd rather be right than be heard.
Your music can be admired more than it is felt. Being right can matter more to you than being heard, so you keep the long intro and the dense second verse and refuse to cut either. That can turn into refusing a stranger any way in. And you may think short videos are beneath your songs. They aren't, and your stories are made for them.
This might not fit if the story you keep telling is your own, and the point is to be understood more than to understand. If so, read The Confessor.
