maybe if it existed in a vacuum. social and historical context is an inescapable burden of the postmodern world.

oh wait that's how it already is except when rich parents are invoked. rich parents should not exist
The only measure of art is as demonstration of techniquetechnique is necessary, but not sufficient. or every boring-arse modern day photorealist painting would be a masterpiece.

Don't try to refute controversial opinions darragh doesn't seriously hold.
At best he likes the idea of someone holding such an attitude posting to ilx, the critic's message board. (TM)

"technique is necessary" is still pretty controversial in this world of my-three-year-old-could-have-done-it art.

There's something to be said for it but I was trying to work out how it squared with thinking that Hot Fuss was the pinnacle of musical achievement.

Concerts are only fun when drunk. when I'm sober, there is too much stimuli and I often feel overanxious due to the crowd. Plus I usually am too worried about not having a good time given what I've spent.
I say this as someone who has been to 150+ shows in the last 3 years, I'd wager 80% of them at some level of drunkenness.

Also lol music isn't art fyi. Obviously.

Surely you recognize the spacious category called "bad art", which contains forgettable art, trivial art, stupid art and a multitude of similar sub-categories. These, too, are art, my friend.

it's ok if newspapers run some articles detailing the lives of the trump family that don't try to eviscerate them in every paragraph
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 30 May 2017 01:27 (nine years ago)
Yes, but only if it's an article about Barron.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 30 May 2017 02:34 (nine years ago)
Controversial opinions involving obvious straw men don't belong on this thread. BATTLESHIP tho.

Women are better than men at not killing other tribes

you mean less skilled in other tribe killing

'women are better than men at killing other tribes' is the controversial opinion shurely
