ESSENTIALLY

LIKE POSEURS/HIPSTERS AND TREND BANDS

WE SEE THE SAME THING IN METAL

but it's not generalized to clubs in general

it's a very particular club

THREE-CHORD "ESOTERIC" WAR METAL

IS CELEBRATED AS ELITE

is it? It is celebrated by insular clubs as superior, but it isn't widely accepted as being quality or elite or superior

whereas modern art is, even if people don't appreciate it

the situation woud be similar if you had that war metal stuff

and on top of that everyone acknowledged that war metal was the bees knees

while not liking it or getting it

I don't see that as the case

THOSE WHO APPRECIATE MODERN ART

ARE A SMALL QUASI-ELITE

BASED ON THE COMMERCIAL VALUE OF THE ART

BECAUSE EVEN IF PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE IT, THEY DEFER TO IT

AND MARGINALIZE THOSE WHO DO NOT

FOR EXAMPLE US

I think that's the main difference, the deference

BUT TAKE THE BLACK METAL EXAMPLE

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

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

why would you say herd to a top down phenomenon?

herd effects may keep the illusion going

where normal people police themselves in keeping up the facade

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

HERDS CREATE TOP-DOWN PHENOMENA

OUT OF THEIR PREFERENCES

WHICH ARE MOSTLY DESIGNED TO AVOID WHAT OFFENDS THEM

NORMAL PEOPLE ARE MOSTLY INERT TO ART ANYWAY

THEY LIKE SIMPLE SONGS, PRETTY PAINTINGS, NICE ARCHITECTURE

THIS IS WHY ARCHITECTURE IS QUEEN OF THE ARTS

REGULAR PEOPLE CAN APPRECIATE IT

BECAUSE ITS FUNCTION IS APPARENT

with dalits, all is about apparence

we need to acknowledge the realities of art nowadays

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

modern art is the art of the past century

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

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