Reactions to “analysis”
Trying to
understand someone art take a great amount of compassion and care from the one
who is doing the analysis. While that compassion can quickly disappear, leaving
a rant that rips apart someone’s expression for what it does and does not do.
The amount of care that was involved writing it will still exist. With
interpretation being rooted in opinion we must take comfort in that we cannot
not please everyone. But the process they use to go about their argument
positive or negative is vital for grow of art as a whole.
Reactions to “Criticism”
Criticism,
such a crisp word to instill fear into so many young artists. Acceptance to the
idea that any criticism is helpful is what allows you to define yourself as an
artist. This of course discounts my drunken uncle who’s drunkly critics during
drunk Christmas carols, which leave you with an impairment of mental stability
from the ludicrous criticisms stemming from said from uncle. Also, I don’t have
an uncle….but if I did, I wouldn’t take him to heart. But as a society we need
criticism, not only for the artists but also for quality control. If everyone
stopped caring about refining their art because they knew no one was going to
talk about it, the decay of the level of refinement would slowly deteriorate. Hopefully
that never happens…
Reactions to “Music criticism has degenerated into lifestyle
reporting”
At this
point in the blog, screaming profane language would seem ideal. But to avoid
criticism on being vulgar, even those after reading this article it wouldn’t
seem to matter; I won’t. Why do we focus
on shock value? Most reviews or critics have this crazy love affair with words
that sound good and mean nothing. This is mainly from the fact they rarely
define anything with how. Luckily enough for the marketing machine that is
capitalism, we have moved the relationship with art to be more focused on the
lifestyle of the artist. Why? Because those who are not majoring in music, is
far more relatable to read about then what was the form, lack lustering chord
progression, and production quality. This could be from people caring about the
glamor of a music artist and this surely wouldn’t have any parallels with film
critics…
Reactions to “Please, critics write about the filmmaking”
I’m
starting to feel like money has ruined everything great about art. Or that
people are so rooted in their routine of information that the quality control
of what people write about in terms of critics has never really been rallied
for. I don’t think theirs an outcry from the people in regards to this topic.
If anything it could be why so many people are against reading critics reviews
for them not believing in their opinion. I personally think if you care about
critics’ thoughts, you should refine which critics you actually engage with. If
you only enjoy zinger words like “elegant, edgy, refreshing, or defining” with
no recount on how or why, then you will find no trouble in engaging with a
variety of critics. I think we should ask from them. That being said, it
shouldn’t be too intellectual that it would alienate everyone. Maybe
educational reform is needed…..more then I already thought.
Reactions to “Devaluation of music: It’s worse than you
think”
Dear god, I know I don’t ask for
much, and recently I feel that you might owe us one after this last week. But how
have we fallen to astray. Could this be the greater ripple effect from cutting
so many art programs from schools? Could this be from the entertainment companies’
understand of marketing? Could this be from the amount of hours the average
American works and the time in which they have to care about this issue being
so small that it is a never-ending cycle from hell? Simply, more likely….yes. I
feel like this harks on the power of social identification and esthetic. What
one might gravitate to could involve so many different social conditions that
bring them to the acceptance toward enjoy and not questioning their choice.
Could be they simply don’t care, “its music” and or they found a camp, enjoy
their camp, and simply don’t enjoy change. Could be the identification with a
lifestyle they wish they had, letting the song be an escape from how they see
themselves. Could be, that a song or artist, esthetically supports ideals they
have trouble expressing themselves, and everything else becomes accepted as
ideal personality shifts towards their social identification. Regardless of why
types of music are accepted as gospel pillar of art’s creation, I hope that the
level of message and analysis of their (future art) continues to work hard to strive
away complacency.
