Is any art significant in any way?

2017-02-15 01:37:11 UTC  

god that shit is cringe as fuck

2017-02-15 01:37:13 UTC  

jesus

2017-02-15 01:37:22 UTC  

The world is today split roughly in two halves - conformist and non-conformist

2017-02-15 01:37:34 UTC  

when lg petrov

2017-02-15 01:37:38 UTC  

makes the wolverine hands

2017-02-15 01:37:38 UTC  

And as far as music goes, borders between these two worlds don't exist

2017-02-15 01:37:39 UTC

when uffe bangs the guitar against his leg during the breakdown

2017-02-15 01:37:52 UTC  

whe ntehy duel guitars

2017-02-15 01:37:53 UTC  

literally

2017-02-15 01:37:56 UTC  

like pool noodles

2017-02-15 01:38:05 UTC  

So I can pretend that metal or psy trance is non-conformist but it isn't

2017-02-15 01:38:15 UTC  

Is there any art that's significant or valuable in any way?

2017-02-15 01:38:39 UTC  

Valuable yes, significant, from the perspective of "grand order of things" no

2017-02-15 01:39:03 UTC  

Music is just a description of things which can be significant. I agree that the music itself isn't significant

2017-02-15 01:39:08 UTC  

But it can be a pointer

2017-02-15 01:39:16 UTC  

Art is just a manifestation

2017-02-15 01:39:27 UTC  

It's still a good conduit

2017-02-15 01:39:36 UTC  

And that's why it is strange how people appreciate it more than they do what's behind art

2017-02-15 01:40:26 UTC  

Music is good at communicating and describing certain things that other languages aren't as good at

2017-02-15 01:40:58 UTC  

Yes, like sounds

2017-02-15 01:41:10 UTC  

What?

2017-02-15 01:41:20 UTC  

Do languages like English describe words?

2017-02-15 01:41:27 UTC  

They don't. They use words to describe ideas

2017-02-15 01:41:53 UTC  

Music uses sound waves and rhythm patterns to create pleasant melodies

2017-02-15 01:42:06 UTC  

Poetry can have pleasant rhythms and sounds, too

2017-02-15 01:42:14 UTC  

Yes, when read aloud

2017-02-15 01:42:16 UTC  

Death is a phonetically pleasing word, but it also represents an idea.

2017-02-15 01:42:20 UTC  

oh god

2017-02-15 01:42:21 UTC  

even wrose

2017-02-15 01:42:22 UTC  

worse

2017-02-15 01:42:26 UTC  

somehow

2017-02-15 01:42:28 UTC  

Melodies are the same

2017-02-15 01:42:50 UTC  

Just like I can come up with a meaningless word that sounds pretty, I can come up with a melody just for the sake of it sounding pretty

2017-02-15 01:42:53 UTC  

that doesn't mean that I can't do more

2017-02-15 01:44:01 UTC  

My best shot is that music sparks creativity and curiosity

2017-02-15 01:44:18 UTC  

But again, that's of limited value, and again, speaking from the perspective of significant things

2017-02-15 01:44:21 UTC  

like, globally

2017-02-15 01:44:37 UTC  

Music is a language.
