    Culture Why & When?: A Question Essay Regarding virtue signaling and Artists Uncanny Habit of Supporting the Establishment While "Protesting" it

    Sure, but that, too, is all about emotion. Also, there's a lot of shallow people out there, in the art world as much, or more, than anywhere else. Huh. There was a thing about actors, where they lived for the masses love, because they couldn't get it from family or friends. This, in many...

    Going back to the reason for this Tread, I think I have an answer. The thing about art, and artists, it it's all about emotion. It's about care, passion, and being moved. But...... It's not about reality. It's not about what is true. And the artists themselves almost never look all that deep...

    That's old school Jazz. I'll go looking for some Modern crap. Huh. They're now calling it "Experimental". Better than some of the crap I've run into. Still bad.

    Nope. They are just a group that likes to think they are. Most of them are very small minded, indeed. There was a guy I met a while ago, a Uni trained symphany composer. When he was young, he liked all sorts of classical music, but by the end of his Degree, his tastes were now for "Modern...
