It's funny that you want to distance yourself from hipsters (many of whom are as elitist about their taste in art and music as your own). It's kind of hilarious, actually.
There's nothing wrong with high quality and I admit from an aesthetic point of view that some music is obviously more complex than others.
On the other hand, art makes people feel, they resonate with it, and people express themselves. As long as a person is genuinely doing that you can't objectively say that it isn't art.
exactly that's my point. I like mainstream stuff that is real and expresses what it truly wants to express. some examples include
- Lord of the Rings
- Star Wars
- Evanescence
the problem I have is art that is simply there to capture the most peoples' attention and please people at the expense of expressing a real message.
