Good Art Has No Excuses

A saying which states that one artist (a writer, painter, author, musician, etc.) should be allowed to only make art for himself and not for random people he doesn't know, but should keep in mind that it should not excuse him from making poor quality art.

As a writer, I only write for myself and not random strangers who read my novels, but that doesn't excuse me from writing good quality books. Every artist should know that good art has no excuses. Ever.

Dark Pop

A different version of pop music which focuses on being dark and grim rather than being happy and uplifting.

One of the most notable dark pop artists is synthpop band Depeche Mode. Chief songwriter Martin Gore stated that he feels that more sad and depressing lyrical themes are more realistic, whereas he finds happy songs fake and unrealistic (at the same time, he also asserts that their music contains an element of hope).

Racist Website

Any website on the internet that promotes racial hatred towards specific races.

What's even more ridiculous now is that certain news feeds (especially The New Republic) are now calling Urban Dictionary a racist website just because of all the race-related jokes on there. Those are only for humorous purposes and are not meant to promote hate at all (even then they get more dislikes than likes most of the time).

If you really want a racial hate website then look up Stormfront.org.

Dr. Syntax

The world's first ever non-animated cartoon character created in 1809 by British artist Thomas Rowlandson. His appearance is that of a scrawny and eccentric elderly clergyman/schoolmaster. He was hugely successful, spawning many imitators and even creating the first ever market for tie-in merchandise.

Without Dr. Syntax, famous characters like Mickey Mouse, Bonzo the Dog and Felix the Cat wouldn't have had their iconic cartoony designs.

1980s Hipster

A hipster from the 1980s decade (and yes, they actually existed).

Some wrong generation kids today complain about hipsters without realizing that 1980s hipsters existed. In fact, hipsters have been around since the 1940s.
