"Crap for the masses" - What is that exactly?

[scamo]

If you're right (and you definitely aren't imo) somebody had better tell all the writers, journalists, academics and critics that humanity has been wasting it's time analysing the arts for thousands of years then.

People who analyze or critique art forms are also only giving up their subjective opinions of it. They may have a foundation of knowledge on the art form to base a more objective opinion on why it may be poorly done, but it still comes down to an opinion, which is subjective. Their opinions may carry some more weight too, because of their "profession" and thus, may persuade people in their opinion one way or another. But still, a critique is just an opinion. Critique is subjective and yes, in the end, is only worth the air it is spoken or the ink it is written with.

You know what, if I'd ever become good enough at creating EDM, I am going to name my first album "Crap for the masses". Why? Because I'd really love my music to become very popular and I'd really love to have a ton of people dancing to my music and enjoying it and I'd love to spite the haters who think they have a better opinion of music than everyone else, when actually they don't. And since my album would be called "Crap for the masses", then they'd be right too anyway, without even trying, so they couldn't hate it, because it makes them right to begin with. Hehehehe....

Totally agreed with Patch there, but another funny thing IS, that people tend to make it in their heads that there have to be opinions, otherwise, where would we end up?...crap for the masses?

It´s a funny thing when you think about it, we, meaning e-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y, dont HAVE to do nothing, except the things that are not for us to decide, like breathing etc...but then again...is it possible that you, again meaning e-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y, Are in some sense forced to do something, decisions. Even choosing not to make decisions about things is a decision...well, now i think im offrailing here so i´ll leave it there...havent even had my morning coffee yet.
