But you cannot (or shouldn't) jump from one extreme to another. There's gate keeping like "I'm the one deciding what's good, everyone else is stupid" (which I'm not doing, other people can like different things, that's fine) but on the other side of the spectrum is the "everyone is equally competent to judge what's good" which is just as wrong. Because of course not everyone is. For example if a lot of drunk/high people enjoy a silly song at a party and are having fun in the very moment, does it make the song "good" even if they wouldn't listen to it sober? Of course not. Drunk people are not competent to judge art. There's no "art for drunk people", there's just drunk people enjoying anything you show them. Not having proper knowledge or exposure to real art is similar to being drunk. You can get affected by simpler things, it's easier to manipulate you, you don't appreciate as much detail. Is pro Wrestling as good art as Shakespeare? Of course not. Pro Wrestling is as simplistic as it gets, it's theatre dumbed down to it's simple audience. It's designed to affect people on a very basic level just like some music is designed to affect drunk and high people. It's more simple entertainment than art. It's really like putting someone on the roller coaster and saying that it's as good art and the Exorcist because they got equally scared. Just because simple people enjoy simple movies and music doesn't mean it's good art.
