[QUOTE=MrAfroShark70;24992864]Yeah because I totally want people to see my body in public, flailing it around to take on me, and call it art.

also what the fuck they randomly start having sex[/QUOTE]
Because modern art is trippier than an old women going down some stairs
[QUOTE=Sitkero;24992900]Chill man.
I was just makin' a joke, didn't realize a debate on what is art had cropped up until I posted it.[/QUOTE]
well it wasn't a very good joke then was it
Maybe it's a metaphor for life and the music has to do with peoples sexuality? I thought the dancing was funny.

the guy jacking it in the window
that is certainly a metaphor for imperialism in the middle east
[QUOTE=Elspin;24992883]It's not a huge issue to me, I wouldn't by any means declare myself an artist nor am I in the slightest bit stuck up. I just think it's ridiculous that the art world is in some kind of competition to see who can be the vaguest possible to get more attention while there are people who are probably doing really interesting things that you never hear much about.[/QUOTE]
there is no such construct, that is in your head, the point of art is neither competition nor recognition.
[QUOTE=Elspin;24992883]I just like people who are actually working hard to come up with great ideas rather than people who are likely to just be idiots being vague for money (see: "modern art").[/QUOTE]
excuse me?

so in your opinion, piccaso, van gogh, and warhol were just idiots being vague for money
that's just the dumbest thing i've ever heard i think
[QUOTE=Elspin;24992883]I find it really odd that you're accusing me of being stuck up when the "art" form I'm criticising[/QUOTE]
yeah when you call out some of the most fantastic artists of this generation, you tend to send that message
in fact, join the stuckists while you are at it.
[QUOTE=Elspin;24992883]is just about the most stuck up thing on the planet.[/QUOTE]
not really, you're the one who puts thing above other things, that's being stuck up
[QUOTE=Elspin;24992883]Like the "modern artist" who says something along the lines of "Yeah well y'know the mona lisa was alright I guess but it doesn't have enough meaning like my stack of shoes with pebbles in them representing earth being trapped in capitalism".[/QUOTE]
your argument relies on a made up fantasy, that just about sums up everything in your posts
i don't see how being pretentious affects the art and again you put "modern art" in scare quotes, which is like, the definition of stuck up
[QUOTE=Elspin;24992883]Like the film critic who pretentiously says half-life can't be art because the only game he's ever played is pacman.[/QUOTE]
this doesn't even have anything to do with art, again intentional fallacy, the artist does not matter when it comes to art
are you reading any of my posts, i've repeated the same thing three times already, i take the time to read your posts, have some courtesy and read mine
why are you ladies bitching about art when there is a man jacking off in the window

I even gave you an example of the kind of people I was talking about and you managed to pull van gogh out of that? Jesus man, I know you're half-trolling but that's just sad. If you need me to state it again, I'm talking about the people who do things like painting two dots on paper, giving some elaborate description of it and sell it for gigantic wads of cash. How you managed to relate this to van ghogh is beyond me.
Once again, being stuck up would imply that I have some kind of snooty standard like "all drawings must be up to standard with davinci" or "if your story isn't at least 900 pages long it can't be that good". I believe that a lot of things can be art, anything from children's crayon drawings to webcomics to videogames, a lot of things people in the art world don't agree with. I just think it's silly that a lot of people make up bullshit and get paid loads for it. I'm not jealous by any means, I've got all the money I need, it's just dumb.
You've made your point clear (you think I'm stuck up for thinking people flailing around naked is not art)
and I've made my point clear (that I think people making up bullshit is probably often just for money, and it's annoying)
so on another note, I think this video would be much improved if agoat would re-dub the take on me part with his cover of don't stop believing.

how do you even know they make up bullshit, that's the stuck up part. someone can't seriously do any of these things, they need to be scumbags as well.
you are snooty because you believe that

you didn't get my point at all. this is tiring and you aren't reading my posts, especially the part where i explain art has nothing to do with the artist, which you so valiantly try to push forward

Alright I'm totally stuck up you got me this is me in real life

but in all seriousness I think you're pretty insane if you think this is art:

I honestly wonder what these people are like in their day to day lives. What do you even do when you're done covering yourself in blood and the ashes of your dog.
Are you sure this isn't some obscure porno

Christ, is it so wrong to be kinda annoyed at seeing art galleries filled with stupid shit like a detail-less dot on black paper and even blank portraits? That's all I've been trying to say, and I think it's pretty reasonable.

no it's dumb when you claim to be an expert on art galleries and declare them "filled with stupid shit like a detail-less dot on black paper and even blank portraits".
that's just being a giant snob
here have another strawman:
"I'M SO PISSED OFF, ALL OF THE CONCERTS ARE FILLED UP WITH PUNK MUSIC, THAT'S NOT MUSIC AT ALL BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE IT".
