13379902, think about who decided the criteria for "high art"

white people. because they control most art expressions, they determined what makes it "great"
why can't we make our own distinction?
AND why does everything have to be considered such?
"high art" is meant to be elitist. that concept was designed to exclude certain folks from accessing and understanding it
can you tell that i reject it? LOL
take hip hop...what's considered high quality in hiphop isn't the same as what's considered high quality in any other music genre...cuz we created it and we decide.
no other music genre requires the performer to be the writer of the lyrics or that the lyrics detail lived experience. but we give high marks for that shit in hip hop..we consider it more real and authentic...that matters
