Into the trash it goes!

Into the toilet. Literally and figuratively.

Listen.. people be askin me all the time
"Yo Mos, what's gettin ready to happen with Art?"
(Where do you think Art is goin?)
I tell em, "You know what's gonna happen with Art?
Whatever's happening with us"
If we smoked out, Art is gonna be smoked out
If we doin alright, Art is gonna be doin alright
People talk about Art like it's some giant livin in the hillside
Comin down to visit the townspeople
We are Art
Me, you, everybody, we are Art
So Art is going where we are going
So the next time you ask yourself where Art is going
Ask yourself: where am I going? How am I doing?
'til you get a clear idea
So.. if Art is about the people
And the Art won't get better until the people get better
Then how do people get better?
Well, from my understanding people get better
When they start to understand that they are valuable

Stopped reading there. Nothing great is born out of "doin alright".

the tortured artist trope is only popular because people with shit lives want to believe their suffering has meaning, that pain is somehow noble. Just because you cannot yourself relate to art that focuses instead on happiness and improvement and a good life does not make it bad art.

Is it possible to make great art that is not meta or self-referential in modern times?
