Art is downstream from culture.

Shit art will always be made regardless of demographic size. Think of the ugly and unaesthetic art that is produced in contemporary art circles today—only a minority of people are actively involved or interested in those spheres.

I do agree it has to do with both reasons—the culture of the art that is being produced in, and the kind of demographic that produces it. Unfortunately, the peons have hijacked and are now in control of the dominant culture today; wherein previously it was the aristocrats and scholars who cultivated the art and culture of the times.

I agree however this is Moreso a critique on the "commodity" of art i mean Basquiat is in fortnite at least the aristocrats of old funded the art because they were passionate about it nowadays people are philistines who scoff at the idea of artistic expression.

@Numb The Pain thoughts?

I think he would like this thread actually the same thing is going on with horror media. i can count in the recent years genuinely interesting horror films that dont adhere to the same slasher format that has been done since the 90s

I'll pin it after I unpin @Tabula Rasa's thread later on. Can't pin too many threads, ya know.

But Bayonetta is for asian audiences, that's why it's flashy and intricate and looks foreign and different for you

Thats my point its made for a smaller more compact audience and in turn is different from the media machine that pumps out the same product over and over again. and in turn bayonetta is often critiqued for "having too much fan service" or "having too complicated gameplay mechanics"

Same thing can be said regarding the dissolution of subcultures that lead to a large influx in 'aesthetics'.

A good example of this is alternativeness. What it means to be alternative is now more commonly attributed to being a "big titty goth girl" or a "e-girl" than it is to deviating from the norm.

By popularizing something that was never popular it leads to normies seeing or knowing about something they otherwise wouldn't have and as a result a stereotype is always created in which the stereotype is the only thing the normies know about the thing. This results in everybody else under the umbrella getting grouped into the same category despite all being completely different.

A normie sees an alternative person with dyed hair and believes they're 'emo'. Or even worse believes they're 'goth' with full confidence that they're correct because that's what they've come to know from all the tiktoks and Instagram reels of supposed 'goth girls' they've seen online.

Its funny because most of goth culture is counter culture and the people who are engaging in it calling themselves "goth girls" are literally doing nothing to counter the culture and are actually feeding into it.

The word goth itself has lost almost all of its original meaning primarily because of girls monetizing the 'look' and supposed 'characteristics' of them.
