haha I understand.

That's awful. Sometimes I prefer watching VHS tapes rather than DVDs. There are also times when I'd choose Nosferatu over the special effects in more modern vampire movies. Neither scare me, but the bright colors are sometimes too much. Is that strange?

I think that people tend to react more to art that shocks them on some level. They're drawn to art they connect with on a deeper level. Some ideas are pretty much universal, and I think that's why some works are valued by more people. I don't think that it makes the piece more valuable than others. The artist probably just struck upon an idea that is relatable.

Look at teenagers today. Many enjoy books like Twilight, but groan when Shakespeare is mentioned. They connect easier with ideas that link up with modern ideals.

I think that when people look at older works they think something along the lines of, "Oh, he/she/shlee is dead? Look at how deep they were!" The majority of people don't want to know other people. They want to idols. It's easier to find things to idolize when you've never met someone. If you've never met your idol, it's easier to find depth in the things they do.
