@alecanewman: Hercules vs Vampires was fun, but it did remind me of my English teacher explaining the genius of the tongue in tail line in Taming of the Shrew. Or the time in middle school when we were assigned The Canterbury Tales before any teacher read it. #herculesvsvampires #mozart #shakespeare
Art made for the masses will be remembered by the masses, art made for the wealthy is generally remembered less because it’s portraying a perspective only held by the a small fraction of the population

Shakespeare also created the your mother joke in Titus Andronicus which, in itself, is balls to the walls insane

Fashion has had the same thing; stuff and aesthetics that street wear made synonymous was once looked down upon until now which has been fully integrated and expected into high fashion as well

I’m reminded of the Fulfci film “Conquest”. The ultimate fantasy film. I read somebody describe it as the only fantasy film that feels like it is from another world.

Van Helsing would make an interesting opera. But seriously, I want an Arsenic & Old Lace musical! I'm sure they could remove the line about scalping & change it to something less problematic the way they fixed Beetlejuice wanting to marry Lydia.

i think it’s because this “low brow” art that is designed to be understood by the “lesser” audience gives us more of a genuine look into the ideas and tastes of the average person from that time

You’re heavily distorting history to support your flimsy thesis. The idea that Mozart would have been considered “lowbrow” in his time is ridiculous.
