I don't really care much for art, never been to a museum or any art shows. But even I know that modern art isn't really art and this guy explains why.

PSA: it's about an 8 minute video.

Good video and I agree with him. There is good modern art. But there is way too much pretentious bullshite going on in which he is describing. In fact, that crap out there has become cliched and boring and it's time to move on.

Not only that, but it's not art.

And pretty much anybody can see that.

most non-modern art is boring, pretentious, and not worth the canvas.

go to a famous museum. how much really turns you on?

I have a favorite artist. some of his work seems fabulous to me and half of it is wretched.

Explains why modern art is art and why it's harder and more meaningful than you think

edit: often you don't get it because you are missing the context in which the art was made

With that said, yeah, there are works that are overly pretentious and lame

Find "art" in things that aren't meant to be art.

Good art v Bad art is a pointless argument.

There isn't enough space in a post to list them.

If you can expound on why it is bad art I might agree with you. However, most people just don't like something and slander it as bad art.

On why what is bad art?

An aesthetic reaction is certainly part of forming an opinion on what you consider to be bad art. Nothing wrong with that per se.

Just watched it. That guy is completely 100% correct.

Modern art is trash.

Anything. I am saying to qualify anything as bad art it should be a lot more than lack of appeal to the individual calling it bad art.
