I heard Shaun Tan, a children's book creator, compare adult and kid reactions.
Adults: this image is surreal, with elements / influence of [artist's name].
Kids: cool, a dragon.
Shaun: yes, a dragon.
I sat on dad’s subwoofer when the THX sound played when I was little, a sensation that wouldn’t be recreated until I got into acousmatic music and now I’m married to a man with a framed picture of Karlheinz Stockhausen in his office
