It’s no good folks. Let’s all stop pretending to enjoy it and maybe it will go away.

    honestly i don’t have a problem with art or music as background decoration. it’s just the worldwide societal worship of art and music that’s annoying. art is meaningless and boring.

      I mean, if it wasn't for Bach's Mass in B Minor and Stan Roger's Mary Ellen Carter I'd probably not have been able to get through depression alive, but ok.

          The Soviet Union, famous haters of the fine arts. Also, art isn't a drug, it's a type of meaning you can impose on this howling void of emptiness we laughingly call a universe.

          Yeah, under communism we won't need nor want art.

      I don't think it's boring and it's not any less meaningful than anything else in the world so you're wrong

      I can kinda almost see thinking this about bougie paintings or whatever... but music is probably the most important form of art to people... Our brains definitely have some kind of affinity for music baked into them (in my opinion) - probably something to do with the fact we communicate by speech. I read an article about how dementia patients who can't hardly remember their names can remember songs from their youth - and can have a powerful calming effect on them when they get confused.

        music is boring as fuck too, people pretend to enjoy it and idk why. like it’s not offensive or anything, but imagine inflicting the boredom levels of playing or listening to music on yourself

          Music as sound is good, imo. As a way of conveying meaning, the way "artists" think of it, it's shit. It doesn't have any deep meaning. It's a way of manipulating emotion, just like drugs.

        it’s about as plausible as devout catholics claiming to enjoy mass

      you just have a thing against art i guess. do you not enjoy movies, tv shows, or novels either? in any case it's a pretty subjective thing
