FOR EXAMPLE US

2017-04-28 17:16:07 UTC  

I think that's the main difference, the deference

2017-04-28 17:16:10 UTC  

BUT TAKE THE BLACK METAL EXAMPLE

2017-04-28 17:16:21 UTC  

(DEFERENCE = THE DEMOCRATIZATION; CANNOT OPPOSE WHAT THE HERD LIKES!)

2017-04-28 17:16:27 UTC  

the imposition of the standard as default is what makes it different from simply clubs putting shit on pedestals

2017-04-28 17:16:42 UTC  

why would you say herd to a top down phenomenon?

2017-04-28 17:16:57 UTC  

herd effects may keep the illusion going

2017-04-28 17:17:08 UTC  

where normal people police themselves in keeping up the facade

2017-04-28 17:17:13 UTC  

but beyond that? I don't see how that works out

2017-04-28 17:17:35 UTC  

HERDS CREATE TOP-DOWN PHENOMENA

2017-04-28 17:17:38 UTC  

OUT OF THEIR PREFERENCES

2017-04-28 17:17:44 UTC  

WHICH ARE MOSTLY DESIGNED TO AVOID WHAT OFFENDS THEM

2017-04-28 17:17:51 UTC  

NORMAL PEOPLE ARE MOSTLY INERT TO ART ANYWAY

2017-04-28 17:18:00 UTC  

THEY LIKE SIMPLE SONGS, PRETTY PAINTINGS, NICE ARCHITECTURE

2017-04-28 17:18:05 UTC  

THIS IS WHY ARCHITECTURE IS QUEEN OF THE ARTS

2017-04-28 17:18:08 UTC  

REGULAR PEOPLE CAN APPRECIATE IT

2017-04-28 17:18:15 UTC  

BECAUSE ITS FUNCTION IS APPARENT

2017-04-28 17:34:51 UTC  

with dalits, all is about apparence

2017-04-28 18:02:43 UTC  

we need to acknowledge the realities of art nowadays

2017-04-28 18:02:56 UTC  

im not saying "modern art" mind you because modern art ceased to be contemporary

2017-04-28 18:03:05 UTC  

modern art is the art of the past century

2017-04-28 18:03:18 UTC  

nowadays, we are in the era of proper dissolution of the art as a form

2017-04-28 18:03:34 UTC  

the so called high art today is nothing but a class signalling tool for bourgeoisie and jews

2017-04-28 18:03:49 UTC  

the so called rebellious art is *passe*

2017-04-28 18:04:31 UTC  

as evola curiously noted in his last interview, the so called "abstract" art ceased to have the "existential' function it had for the artists back in 1920s and 1930s

2017-04-28 18:05:13 UTC  

we have today a completet and total artistic nihilism, where everything in art ceased to have any proper meaning

2017-04-28 18:05:24 UTC  

and this is a reality, not a personal estimate of the contemporary's art value

2017-04-28 18:05:31 UTC  

one must differentiate between the two

2017-04-28 18:06:01 UTC  

so since no art today has or is capable of being valuable to anybody, lacking, just as society, any reference points

2017-04-28 18:06:10 UTC  

there is no purpose anymore in artistic poseuring at all

2017-04-28 18:07:04 UTC  

one should enjoy art in the same way he enjoys women, namely, as a passing pleasure and nothing else, since simulating any other approach is just that, simulation

2017-04-28 18:07:41 UTC  

this is why at leasts when it comes to music, I am not a "genre" person, since it has no meaning at all

2017-04-28 18:11:45 UTC  

for me hence, it's either the art that can arouse in me some fond memories or produce certain pleasing experiences, or the kind of art that can be stimulating in psycho-sensory way, which is why i enjoy psy ambient music for example

2017-04-28 18:38:41 UTC  

donuts man

2017-04-28 18:38:53 UTC  

will say more when hands free

2017-04-28 19:45:23 UTC  

say more bands

2017-04-28 19:45:26 UTC  

like Liturgy?

2017-04-28 19:58:52 UTC  

What Evola noted is evident now as a continuum

2017-04-28 19:59:15 UTC  

first, breakdown existing standards, justify as breaking out of stultifying boundaries

2017-04-28 19:59:31 UTC  

under that cover, break out of the very goals of truth and beauty

2017-04-28 19:59:56 UTC  

reduce meaning to entirely subjective
