I just don't like the prejudice and "nosing down" that goes on when start to talk about art. Like in music. People who say heavy metal isn't music or that genre isn't as valid as that genre.
I don't like country but there are some country songs I like.
I don't like techno music but I've heard techno songs I like.
I like Rock but there are some rock songs I hate (Creedence Clearwater makes me physically ill for some reason)
I´m not into classical music but some songs are so beautiful they almost make me cry.
There is too much categorizing going on and I feel sometimes when I ask people if they like a particular song they first need to know what genre it belongs to before they make a decision.
I think art is in the eye of the beholder and it's creator and I don't understand how buying and selling factors into it. If I would make a beautiful painting that symbolizes something that I feel and I'd store it in my closet where no-one else can see it, is it not art?
