The pendulum will eventually swing back towards intellectualism. It went way too far the other way.

I think it’s because people are genuinely pretentious about art. Superhero movies are good AND art house films. Pop music AND other stuff. It’s all valid.

Honestly I mostly see this in the western world. Any country with a smidge of culture, show at least a little bit of interest in things that are challenging.

I think the backrooms movie was a perfect example of this because it didn’t spoon feed the answered to you it made you think about it and when it came out online there was a lot of discussion about many people didn’t like it

Reading is performative, I’m performing the act of reading but people have forgotten what the word performative means too. People think we do everything to impress others

This comment section just proves another creator’s point that everyone wants to be the exception not the rule. Yes pop stars are geniuses but you’re ignoring the main point of the message here

I recently went to MOMA with my mom and sister and the whole time they rolled their eyes and kept saying “I could do that” but you didn’t!!! 🙄🙄

Loved the discussion, but the “superhero movies aren’t Oscar-worthy” and “pop stars aren’t creative geniuses” part felt unnecessarily elitist. I agree with most of your points, but it feels contradictory to call out judgment while also creating a hierarchy of art.

I'm with you 80%. The 20% I disagree with is that enjoying pop music and superhero movies is somehow less than. I think that well-rounded people can have intelligent discussions about new surrealism, relevant fiction AND the new Spider-Man movie.
