I know music and film are art. but I still enjoy listening to music and consider it "fun" and entertaining. I still watch movies to be entertained. But I do appreciate the art of music and film

like it or not, music and film are art. they should be challenging. And anyone who just listens to music for fun or escapism doesn't understand the point of art. they shouldn't be expected to be taken seriously when they discuss these things.
I'm tired of this de-intellectualization of society. Everything is dumbed down to the lowest denominator, and I'm sure a lot of other people feel the same way. If you don't want to be challenged [not you specifically, but the collective 'you'], then you're either too stupid or you're too lazy.

yep... I'm a snob.
I forgot that we have to tiptoe around and accept everyone's opinions as valid. I mean, after all what do people who devote their lives to studying music theory and criticism know? Their opinions are only equal to the average clown who listens to mainstream radio and knows of no other artists outside of TRL.

But those people would say that all rock music is trash. They would only see superficial differences between Britney Spears and TOOL, and would think that both are equally simplistic and driven more by popular trends and the pursuit of profit.

Look, I'm not trying to say that I'm not guilty of listening to music or watching a movie that's below what I expect of myself.
But I'm also aware that there has to be some aesthetic standards for art, and I'm still learning what those are.... Who knows, I may never know. But it is fun trying out new things and challenging myself to appreciate things other than what was drilled into my brain by popular culture.
Just last weekend, I purchased some Robert Johnson records at a second hand record stores. The man is supposed to be the most gifted bluesman ever, and I've never heard a single note he played. It's amazing stuff, and I'm glad that I exposed myself to it.

Although this song was officially released in 2000 - it's spent most of the year in my disc player.
"Roseability" by Idlewild
