It's not about technical skill me either

But it has to at least be interesting to look at

Frownland

Exactly.

Your premise was that there was overlap between two groups

And so far there is none

Kinda hard for it to be ironic if it's not even true

Whoa

The Batlord

Your sharing a lack of abstract thinking ability with people who don't consider rap to be music while being a rap fan yourself is the irony.

The Batlord

I'm not gonna front like a poseur and pretend like I got it all on lock so I'll just post an article about it.

So you actually have no idea why it's good and are merely defending it based on its reputation. Yea not a poser at all.

Yeh in reading the article I remember it now

It's one of those "this is so lazy and stupid it won't be viewed as art so by calling it art I'm calling into question what art means" kinda deals

I'm officially offended that you think hip hop as a genre is a suitable comparison to this

jwb

So why am I wrong in thinking it sucks exactly?

I'm not saying it's not art.

The Batlord

Nah it's more subtle than that. Basically is this art because it's being presented in a museum or is this art because it's being presented as art? It's almost like a catch 22 essentially. It's not art because it's in a museum but by being put in a museum as a piece of art by someone making a statement about art being put in a museum it becomes art. Or more purely it becomes art based on the artist articulating the context of what they are presenting.
