Would that go for art too? Like, if you claim that art is subjective, then is it hypocritical to state that something isn’t art?
TL/DR - yes. Hell yes even.
What is art or what is good art?
One of my fav definitions of art is "that which was created with the primary intention of invoking an emotional response in the observing subject.
Some would say art which provokes positive or negative emotions is good art, even if it was intended to be only positive. The more powerful the emotional response the better the art. So the Brandenburg Concertos are potentially on the same level of art as say Tiny Tims Tiptoe Through the Tulips, or Rebecca Black's Friday. As music they are all galaxies apart, but as art. Strong emotions all.
Other would say good art provokes strong intended emotions. Like a performance piece about domestic violence is supposed to make you feel strong anger and revulsion. To these same "intentionists" if you found the same piece triggers a dark humour reponse and you lol, it's bad art because it didn't demonstrate mastery of emotional provocation. Closer to home, it means Shitposts are art. We are all artists here. Some masters, some aspiring. I could go on, but why.
Who?
