Art is objective. People just appreciate different art for different reasons, and appreciating something as art does not automatically make it so.

youre wrong about this

just look at graffiti/street art

some people view it almost universally as graffiti that should be removed regardless of any artistry, and some other people view pretty much anything spray painted in public areas as a form of ambient artistry

So you think there's no talent in "mass produced" pop music? None of the beat creators, instrumental musicians or producers? None of the writers? The artists themselves who sing, dance and entertain? It's all lacking talent because you perceive it to be "mass produced" and popular?

Yeah, I guess nursery rhymes and orchestral masterpieces are on the same tier of quality since none of that matters

That has nothing to do with what I said. Try again.

Despite the headline, all that "proved" is that music is getting simpler, which anyone who's ever looked at classical music can tell you has been happening for the last century. Heck, it actually debunks its own premise by pointing out that simpler music is better for easy listening/background music, supporting the idea that there is no objective "better" when it comes to music.

People need to realize if anything can be art than nothing is art.

Not at all. "Anything can be art" is not "everything is art." Conditions still apply, just very vague ones like "anything that expresses creativity" or "anything deliberately portrayed," which still limit art by enough to make the concept functional. They just don't limit it more than is necessary.

Are you serious? Pink Floyd, Rush, and Led Zeppelin aren't popular?

no I was assuming you didnt think current pop acts werent on the same level of popularity as they were because that would be stupid

But there are objective differences between a street art though, there are some masterpieces and others of low quality

I wouldn't necessarily say there's no talent, but they don't really get to showcase it because of the low quality of writing, I mean there are people with little to no talent in there but there's some almost every genre, including my personal favorites

Objective differences, sure. Objective quality assessments, less so, because that's just how art works.

That goes against nothing I said.

I mean if its close sure either could be argued, but it would be foolish to say like Bach and bieber are on the same level
