Dan C Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 See, I don't do any of those things, so I'm not a hipster I guess? Sweet! You attached a derogatory term (bollocks) to the person who thought art to be "transcendental" or "spiritual." Further you attached those rather large subjects to a very specific movement that only really happened for a few years when really they've been around for thousands of years. This to me implies that you don't think much of the idea that art is "transcendental" or "spiritual." So I must conclude that you either don't think much of art or that you don't think art is neither of those. And as for you. What the funk are you talking about? I applied what subjects to which specific movement? I didn't mention any movements, what are you talking about? Do you actually read what I write, or do you just see certain words and then get a bit angry? I just said that TO ME, if you think art is only about being transcendental or spritual, it's a bit of a bollocky hippy way of looking at things. I didn't say it wasn't art, I didn't say that those things don't make art, I didn't say that it makes anything not art. I honestly don't go in for that kind of thing that much, it just doesn't communicate well with me, but I would never say that it wasn't art, that'd just be stupid. I would never say that anything is not art, I'm not one for imposing my own rules upon something, universal truth doesn't sit well with me. I don't descriminate with art, i consider all forms of what is presented to me as art, art. that's not to say that I like some more than others, I do, but I don't feel that just because I find something is more successful as a piece of work than another work, that i can call the other not art. That's straight up shit I dont have to enjoy or believe in what a work is saying (communicating) for me to consider it art (e.g., me calling something that is "spiritual" hippy bollocks), it just is. If i have thought about it, read about it, heard about it, witnessed it, it is a piece of art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lube Saibot Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 it's definitely NOT art. Oh wow. You sound like my parents. Can I ask what exactly makes it 'not art'? Because it's not painted? Let me use a simile to exemplify and simplify: if Hirst was a musician instead of a shark embalmer or whatever the fuck he is, one of his most famous pieces (and one of his ostensibly msot critically celebrated) would be a 10 second recording of him saying "i have 1 million pounds worth of rare vintage synths". edit: your parents sound like clearheaded individuals.

Guest Iain C Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm too drunk to interpret that so I'm just going to laugh. Also, not a similie. It's an analogy, and not a very clear one at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinicalypse Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 scenesters/hipsters are the new hippy. At least the hipsters don't pretend to believe in anything Smelling bad/not showering, dressing like 80's rejects, listening to horrible trendy music, and being assholes are what they believe in...right? just as bad as any hippy..... perhaps worse.... hipsters are a front for yuppies who think they're artistic. i guarantee you that at the core of 95% of them is the vain judgmental status-before-all-else mentality not too unprevalent from, say, wrigleyville chicago or any other stuck up well-to-do area of a major metropolis. the hipsters exist... well i can't tell you. it's beyond my capacities for thought and/or logic.. i think it's a reponse to chicks, so these guys doll up in nuthuggers don't shave for a week like the rebels they are, don some chuck taylors, and then like, i dunno what hipsters do... talk about brighteyes?!@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
