It pisses me off to know end when people expect artists to be deeply upset over nothing. I'm a senior in high school and people are already telling me that! I've never and my friends who are artists too never felt that way. The only thing we care about is surviving high school and having fun just like EVERYONE else. I know this is going to sound bad, but when people say people in the arts as being uptight or depressed, it's LABELING. THANK YOU!!

That is, music takes place over time where visual art is static. That makes it much easier for, say, two people to look at the same photo at the same time and discuss it ad nauseum, taking it in all at once. The fact that you can't take music in all at once, and you can't reproduce it in books (to be heard), makes it that much harder to critique meaningfully.

How about when people often try to assign all sorts of meanings to lyrics that couldn't be further from the original meaning? Good rant, though I think it is quite unavoidable at times. Perhaps playing with mud is the only suitable response! :-) Here, here! How about when people often try to assign all sorts of meanings to lyrics that couldn’t be further from the original meaning?
