This is just as modern art works today.

The funny thing is that it all began as a revolt against old art for being too elitist, but now regular folks cannot enjoy todays art because they are esthetically awful and would need a full book collection to understand why that piece of rotten banana is art, so just the elite can enjoy it. The rest just pretend to look fancy

It's the Duchamp problem. He said "You guys are so far up your own asses that you'll piss in a urinal if it's in the bathroom but you'll praise me as a genius if I move that same urinal to the gallery" and the art world was like "Joke's on you, fucker, I'll start the bidding at $1.2 million for the pisser!"
