Quoting you (with credit) for a presentation I'm giving next week at the Willamette Writers Conference because this is exactly one of the points I'm making (only you did it more concisely).
I make music that I think (admittedly based on my own aesthetic tastes / experiences) *is* accessible (even if takes several listens) - I’m not trying to be elitist or anything - and I’d *love* everyone to agree with me!
But the truth is - not many people want to engage with it 🤷♀️
I always find it strange how differently people treat visual and audio art. Everybody has music that they love music that they can't stand. That doesn't seem to be as acceptable when it comes to visual art. I couldn't even watch big mouth because the art style was so deeply repellent to me.
More like "piss christ" is art that exists despite most people either finding it repulsive or disrespectful, enjoyment doesn't diminish or create art or define its value.

I see what you did there.😉🎨
it was meant to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.
art is not explaining. is about reflecting. is about expressing.
and those who criticize modern art are a bunch of pretentious douchebags who never actually suffered through art.

"Not everyone is supposed to enjoy the same type of art"?
