Overall I find terms like "art" and "kitsch" to be pretty useless and everything is how you percieve it.

I think that you do make certain distinctions, but you just don't recognize it. I doubt that you try to interpret the nearest stop sign as if it were art, though photography has made it more likely that you may do so. In order for anything to be defined as art, there must be a definition of art, which means that there is a limit to what is art and what is not. That stop sign can be considered art when you look at it from a certain angle with a certain intention, but when you are driving down the road looking at street signs, and look at the stop sign, you do not observe it as art.

If art HAS to have some ethical/moral purpose than I'm not an art person because both visually and musically I value the aesthetic results more than the cause or inspiration for the work itself, if that means I'm not treating it the way art is meant to be treated than that's too bad. I'm a low culture dumbass.

The thing is, what are you appreciating in the art and why is it that you appreciate such a thing. You may not consciously realize that it is your brain that strives for order that appreciates some sort of formation or color scheme.
