What I’m saying is perfectly sensible - it’s shit made with disregard

Ironically, so are children.

This could’ve been so much more offensive.

I thinks thats why void doesnt get hassled so much anymore.
Well that and his music is actually much much better than
His first several years of offerings. Void is growing up [tear]

WON’T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN???

The reality is that there is nothing new under the sun and no art being produced right now is groundbreaking in any way, including mine of course. I believe we’re at a point in time I think where all art has become retro or recycled in nature because we’ve not yet broken into the 4th dimension of what the internet actually means and how it will radically transform art as we know it.

Those critiquing my work, calling it offensive, unoriginal etc are not only playing into the shock value hype that you’re deriding, but you also are assuming that I believe myself or any artist currently operating to be groundbreaking which I do not. I think you also believe yourself to be the target audience, which you are not.I just like posting here.

The reality is you probably dislike it so strongly because it touches some nerve which means I’ve succeeded or you wouldn’t be so fired up about it.

<sigh>

But then 3 steps backwards with the posting of self important pretentious crap like this ^ Egh. What are you gonna do?

See, here I disagree. I don’t believe that “everything has been done” in the arts. Of course, there’s a limited number of scripts that can be written from the limited number of human aspirations, but the number of elements that can be combined to express those aspirations is practically infinite.

Not every new art movement has to come from out of nowhere and consist of 100% totally unexpected elements (and anything that did would probably fall flat on its face too quickly to even become a ‘movement.’)

The music of the Sex Pistols, for example, may have ‘just’ been super-charged Chuck Berry chords, and their look may have been assembled and recycled from pre-existing subcultures, but all that was combined in an inventive enough way to be something satisfyingly “new” IMHO. There were enough differences to make a difference, as it were.

Agreed. I think as far as that goes, the people who ARE innovating on that level, like Kanye West and Daft Punk, aren’t necessarily beloved around these parts.

I’m talking about a bigger issue though. Like how the advent of distortion radically transformed folk rock into the rock n roll that we’ve come to know.

I’m talking about a bigger change than a new sub genre or something.

Sure, like this example here, it’s as much a matter of scientific discovery (and / or failed experiments that become ‘happy accidents’) as it is a matter of changes in aesthetics and perception. We probably agree that new sub-genres are just a symptom of these larger changes, they aren’t the starting point for that change.

I think if people want some other seismic change in music, it’ll require people changing their conception of what the ‘fundamental unit’ of music is - when that changed from being pitched notes to just ‘sounds’ in general, we got everything from electro-acoustic music to industrial, hip-hop and “sample-adelica.”

again with the West and Punk

innovative

hardly

the year

was 1995

that is it…

Was that

a haiku?

What occurred

In '95?

contemporary music = dogshit

following fads and fashion = unbecoming

its more common to attempt to turn shit into gold

the output is most always shit…

Yes the world sucks now

Culture stopped evolving

In 1995 everyone suddenly became dumber

And incapable of good art

Now we speak in haiku

To mourn the death of art

I also agree

Art’s been dead since 95

So haiku it is

Let me guess

'95 is when you lot turned 30

The age when people

stop listening to new music

But it’s not a coincidence that

you think art sucks now

also ‘Filth Pig’ came out

in '96

So you niggas better atone!

I saw the balloon

Crash, killing all inside it

You were not amused.

Let me guess

'95 is when you lot turned 30

I wasn’t even 20.

anyone that uses the word

nigga

that for whatever reason releases a video
getting sucked off by a clown while looking like a clown
while two kids watch

need i say more…
