I kind of like Abstract Art. I really do.. 

In fact, this is my personal attempt to produce Abstract Art: 

See, with Abstract Art, the artist is exploring ways to paint/draw shapes to end up with an aesthetically pleasing composition, even if the shapes are not representational of very real-life complex objects. Sometimes, the artist lets the shapes define their emotions regarding a particular idea... For example, my abstraction up there is part of my Modern Literature & Arts course project, where I have to draw an object in several different ways that represent the techniques used by artists of different Modern Art movements... The object I chose is a windchime:

It's that blue/yellow thing in center/leftish area. Anyway. 

Abstract art makes sense to me, it really does. It's art without representationalism, and it attempts to achieve good composition. Modern Art is pretty cool.

Then, there's Modern Music. That crap makes NO SENSE to me at all. 

Let me make it clear, just in case.

I'm not being judgmental. I have listened to serialist, indeterminanist/chance, minimalist, and other odd Modern Music forms... Expressive, Impressionist music are just fine.

But the attempts to do unto music what abstractionism/minimalism does unto painting... DO NOT WORK. 

MODERN MUSIC is FOR THE MOST PART PRETTY STUPID.

Hmph.

I mean, honestly, music is abstract enough. There is no real representationalism going on. You can't exactly imitate the waves rippling or the bumblebee humming without employing expressive techniques or abstractionist ideas. 

So what's up with the random people trying to get rid of the composition/organization in music that makes it so interesting for the ears... and make it into something that makes people wish they were DEAF instead?!?!

I mean, honestly... rolling dice to figure out which note of the scale to play? Or, better yet... not playing any music at all... Just letting people listen to their own breathing and coughing spasms? 

HAHA great job, musical composers. You're totally teaching us something about our society... about human tendencies...

What you are showing us, is that we place too much importance on organization and making sense of things. We place too much importance on ideas/concepts beyond practical application in the real world.

But we don't want to be animals. We want to be something more, see something more, hear something more. Stop trying to prove to us that we're lamer than we think we are. Honestly.

We like our eye candy, our ear candy.

Just let us have it, already.
