RE: Art & Mediocrity: A (VERY) Short Treatise On Crimes Against Art and Taste

in #michelangelo7 years ago

I laughed as you drove the point home in this post! Fantastic and you have it down nicely!

I go online and everyone--the artists worst of all--is posting this week’s cliché phrase and not bothering with grammar or spelling or real creativity at all.

Couldnt agree more!

But here’s the thing. It is very hard to be honest about the severe lack of taste in the world, because it is so damn rampant. It’s everywhere. Almost everyone you love has terrible taste, and for you to even call some of it into question makes you an insensitive ogre.

It's true. Sometimes I feel we get pulled into it inevitably and you realize a while later that damn. What the heck was I doing?

Pleeeeease come my way, serious writers and artists. I need you like I need water.

Feel free to stalk my blogs haha! :P

The world lives and thrives on mediocrity today. It's all about the instant gratification and very little about putting in a real effort to create something of value to yourself and others. But I guess, mediocrity is quality to most people and even larger number of people are fine with getting just that! I'm glad that there are still people like us who are not 'okay' with the rubbish put out there in the name of being creative!

I had to take a forced break from my work today, hence the delayed response.

Sort:  

Thanks for coming back to it, and for such a great response. I just posted another one on poetry as well. I'm so glad to have people to connect with about these things.

Will take a look shortly. :)

I wrote something very personal yesterday and realised this platform gets more awesome by the day due to the responses I've received on it. I feel humbled and also great at the same time to be able to write and share here. It's fantastic how many people I've connected with through Steemit. I've been here for a year Kay and I can tell you with conviction that I think I've made a handful of life-long friends here from across the world, real people I've had the opportunity to meet via SteemFest in person, spend time with due to the initiatives that I've managed!

Never experienced that in a decade of being on old social media for some reason, in such a big way!

So cool. I'm going to read your recent now :)
