personally i only listen to the fine tunes of my dog hacking up grass

"High culture encompasses the cultural objects of aesthetic value, which a society collectively esteem as exemplary art"

Ed Sheeran is not High Art, he is McDonalds tier garbage made for people who have no palate or taste

so many people itt contradicting themselves

** AND DOESN'T SOUND LIKE B.S.

meaning the majority could fw it and accept it as a hit without too much of a speculation

All art is high art if you smoke enough weed

nice

listening to the police

Which song/album? Currently listening to U2 - The Joshua Tree

reggatta de blanc

well the idea that those are the only concrete things in music is kinda false. It’s like saying wins/losses/rings are the only concrete thing in sports when play tactics, positioning, conditioning, and a ton of other factors exist that can switch up the game at any time and the layman doesn’t know

with music there’s production styles, there’s tempos, instruments, writing styles and flow, everything.

With film there’s similar plot devices, set design, writing styles, voice acting, animation, etc

People are quick to jump on the most quick and easy statistics they can find to validate their lack of interest in a topic, and it always ends up being sales because money is the defining factor in the world we live in

"a society collectively esteem as exemplary art"

hits = high art then cuz a lot of people think theyre good

checkmate atheists

Sorry I only know Roxanne, Every breath you take & Message in a bottle. Hope it's good

listening to the sounds of my psyche collapsing expiditiously

like someone walks up to you and says Avengers is the best movie ever because it’s easy to get and it sold a lot and it has iron man and captain america and cool fight scenes

yeah sure you can say all that, but nothing about what you said has to do with the film being great and it just makes you look like someone who knows nothing about film, because you don’t! and that’s okay, it just means that your opinions aren’t as knowledgeable

Yeah i f***ing hate them

No people that are from the cultural movers or shifters in a culture, music artists, producers, dancers, music critics and writers, other singers etc. not casual soccer moms and white teens from suburbs

I don’t think about this kind of s*** cause it’s a waste of mental energy. Those people are simply wrong and their opinions don’t matter

soccer moms are part of society too homie

Getting McDonalds high also hitting different

What are you even saying

it is good yea

like if the machine behind art being released is there specifically for the profit motive and not the sake of art can you really respect it
