So your masters doesn't concern itself with postmodernism then, so it's meaningless in this discussion

2019-10-24 15:24:56 UTC  

Technically I guess you are right

2019-10-24 15:25:39 UTC  

But I did have to take several prerequisite classes which covered postmodern shit before I could actually get into the masters program I wanted which was for animation

2019-10-24 15:26:10 UTC  

It shouldn't change anything, but who knows, maybe it helps if I tell you that I don't like most postmodern art?

2019-10-24 15:26:51 UTC  

I fully understand the arguments and philosophy behind postmodern art

2019-10-24 15:27:37 UTC  

Well, I can tell you how I understand postmodernism and its place in the world of art

2019-10-24 15:27:50 UTC  

If you like

2019-10-24 15:28:02 UTC  

I think it's bullshit because it produces garbage that only wine sipping, large scarf, super soy latte, coastal liberals seem to love

2019-10-24 15:28:21 UTC  

Most other people just see an abstract mess

2019-10-24 15:29:08 UTC  
2019-10-24 15:29:29 UTC  

Looks more like impressionism to me

2019-10-24 15:29:40 UTC  

Well it has many postmodern elements

2019-10-24 15:30:50 UTC  

Post modern art to me is that stack of yellow painted steel bars in front of a corporate office meant to convey a sense of wonder but which in reality everyone just calls "the French fries"

2019-10-24 15:31:01 UTC  

Or like I said earlier about the toilet

2019-10-24 15:31:05 UTC  

That's an elitist view on postmodern art

2019-10-24 15:31:48 UTC  

Those who hold that art as the only true examples of postmodernism, whether they critique it or glorify it, are elitists in their own ways

2019-10-24 15:32:04 UTC  

Art snobs if you will

2019-10-24 15:32:22 UTC  

For different reasons, the ones because their tastes are offended by it, and the others because everything else offends them

2019-10-24 15:32:46 UTC  

Or bores them

2019-10-24 15:32:58 UTC  

Basically what I'm trying to say is this

2019-10-24 15:33:07 UTC  

A trend in postmodernism doesn't define all of postmodernism

2019-10-24 15:33:22 UTC  

Many postmodernists themselves admit that their peers went too far

2019-10-24 15:33:52 UTC  

This happened in all areas, the visual arts, the music, literature

2019-10-24 15:34:21 UTC  

I can't stand certain types of postmodern music, but there are other pieces that I enjoy on occasion

2019-10-24 15:34:46 UTC  

I would never claim that I'm right because my taste is right

2019-10-24 15:35:08 UTC  

And neither should those on the fringes do that

2019-10-24 15:36:22 UTC  

There's one thing though that I think is almost universally true and should be respected

2019-10-24 15:37:02 UTC  

There's a point where certain art becomes so unbearable to so many people that I think it's indefensible to force it into their everyday lives

2019-10-24 15:37:23 UTC  

For example, I believe children shouldn't be exposed to the fringes of atonal music

2019-10-24 15:37:37 UTC  

At least not in any way regularly

2019-10-24 15:37:47 UTC  

And certainly not without them having a say in it

2019-10-24 15:38:05 UTC  

The same thing goes for period blood art, etc.

2019-10-24 15:38:37 UTC  

Postmodern music? Would that be like the "winds" sound from 2001 a space odyssey

2019-10-24 15:38:42 UTC  

Or like

2019-10-24 15:39:06 UTC  

That guy who wrote a piano solo which is just 5 minutes of total silence

2019-10-24 15:39:18 UTC  

Can you link me to those wind sounds?

2019-10-24 15:39:56 UTC  

It's the freaky vocals whenever they discover one of the monoliths

2019-10-24 15:40:29 UTC  

I'm on my phone so it might take a minute to find

2019-10-24 15:41:31 UTC  

Starts around 2:30
